1. Shipping Methods and Carriers:
We utilize a variety of shipping methods to best suit the size and weight of your order:
-
Ground Freight: For larger and heavier equipment, including but not limited to power trowels, concrete screeds, and larger quantities of supplies, we primarily use reputable ground freight carriers.
-
Small Parcel Carriers: For smaller items such as hand tools, accessories, and smaller quantities of supplies, we typically ship via established small parcel carriers like UPS and FedEx.
-
Expedited Shipping: In certain circumstances, expedited shipping options may be available at an additional cost. Please contact our customer service team at (470) 524-4404 or Support@eliteconcretesupply.com to inquire about expedited shipping for your specific order.
2. Shipping Costs:
Shipping costs are calculated based on several factors, including:
-
Weight and Dimensions of the Items: Heavier and larger items will naturally incur higher shipping costs.
-
Destination: Shipping costs vary depending on the delivery location.
-
Order Value: We may offer free shipping on orders exceeding a specified value. Please check our website or current promotions for details.
-
Additional Fees: The following additional fees may apply:
-
Lift Gate Service: If your delivery location does not have a loading dock and the equipment requires a lift gate for unloading, an additional fee will be applied. Please indicate if you require lift gate service during checkout or when placing your order.
-
Residential Delivery: Deliveries to residential addresses may incur a surcharge.
-
Remote Area Surcharges: Deliveries to remote or less accessible areas may be subject to additional surcharges as imposed by our carriers.

For large freight shipments, a more accurate shipping quote may be provided after your order is processed and we have obtained a quote from our freight carriers. We will contact you for approval of the final freight charges before shipment.

We strive to process and prepare your order for shipment as quickly as possible. Our typical processing time is 1-3 business days from the time your order is placed and payment is confirmed. Please note that processing times may vary depending on product availability and order complexity.
