We do not control shipping carriers', nor their schedules and therefore are unable to guarantee delivery dates. Shipping to a business address normally results in quicker delivery than to a residence.
NOTE: Common carrier (trucking company) deliveries are to your driveway and do not include any special delivery considerations, there will be extra charges if you require a lift gate, this will apply if the delivery is to a residence. If you want the delivery to be placed anywhere except in the driveway where the trucking company usually unloads you will be charged for the additional fees imposed by the carrier. If you miss a scheduled delivery or have an unusual delivery, the carrier may charge you additional fees.
The expected shipping time frame listed on product pages is the usual availability but is not a guaranteed time frame. We strive to adhere to these schedules as close a possible but workload and other unforeseen issues can arise from time to time. Please do not schedule installers or painters until your shutters arrive as we can not be responsible for charges or any other costs you may incur due to your order not arriving when expected.
Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii will be extra and above what is shown in the shopping cart. If you live in these areas you may purchase using our system but we will notify you of any additional shipping charges before charging your credit card or proceeding with your order.
