DELIVERY LOCATION OPTIONS

Carved Impressions has negotiated contracts with multiple common ltl carriers across the county in an effort to offer the best pricing for stones. We ship free to business locations that meet the qualifications detailed below. In all cases we will need the name and the contact number of the person that will be responsible for the stone. The delivery location address on the order. If you are shipping to a location not covered by the business description you will need to purchase additional delivery services. In all cases other than a residential delivery you are responsible for the unloading of the skid. If the location cannot do that you will need to purchase lift gate service. If a carrier arrives at a location and the skid cannot be removed by the location the stone will be sent back to the terminal and you will be contacted for the next delivery attempt (all locations other than church & residence) and the added service of a lift gate. Again, we work to offer free shipping options to the qualified locations but if you need to change that there will be additional costs.

Business Location: FREE

To qualify for FREE DELIVERY; your Business location MUST:
• Be capable of unloading a skid from a 53' trailer.
• Have unrestricted access for the 53' trailer into the facility
• Have full-time employees on site.

If a location regularly service trailers and has equipment to unload heavy skids they should qualify; If there is any question contact us prior to purchase to avoid any issues. Home based businesses do not qualify. Churches, Cemeteries and residences are all restricted entrance locations for 53’ trailers and do not qualify for FREE shipping but you can add that option below. In addition, the stone can be delivered to a freight companies’ terminal for them to hold until you pick it up. The terminal will set the skid on your truck and any trailer without a gate. The terminal usually is within 100 miles of destination address. Please contact us prior to purchase to determine which terminal we would be shipping to. Please note you will be contacted by the terminal when this is ready to pick up and you will need to be ready to do so. You will have a ship notice on any delivery location and a tracking that will have an Estimated Date and Time of Arrival.

Cemetery: + $100.00

To qualify for Cemetery Delivery, the location MUST:
• Be accessible for a 53' trailer. Please check with your cemetery for confirmation and gate entrance directions.
• Have equipment to unload the stone. Please confirm prior to service. If they do not, you will need to also add lift gate service to the delivery ($90.00).
• Have a physical street address. Without an address, the carrier will not attempt to deliver.

Attempting to meet a carrier at a location for delivery is not advised. Common carriers are unreliable as to delivery times. We can have the carrier set to call prior to delivery to try and get you a better window but that isn’t always reliable and the real issue is if you miss the carrier you will be responsible for a charge for the next delivery attempt that will be $100.00 or more depending on the carrier and delivery location. So again, we do not advise attempting to meet a carrier at any location.

Church and Residential Location: + $190.00

This covers your stones delivery along with a lift gate service to churches and residential addresses. This will accommodate monuments to set the skid on the end of the drive way or to a graveyard. The carrier will not be responsible for anything more. You will need to have someone there to inspect the stone BEFORE signing for the delivery. Carriers will call to set an appointment for delivery and in most cases call prior to arrival. Very important that you have someone at the location. If the carrier is missed there will be a charge for the next delivery that usually exceeds $100.00 and up, based on carrier and delivery location.
