Shipping Time - FREE Nationwide Shipping!
We pride ourselves in being one of the fastest to ship in the industry. If you order a small parcel item our normal delivery times are just 3-5 business days. If you order one of our larger items that ships freight carrier you will get your item delivered to your home in just 3-10 business days! We specialize in freight and this is very fast in comparison to our competitors. Shipping times may vary depending on where you live in relation to the warehouse used and might be longer or shorter than our general quoted time frame. If shipping time is important for you we recommend asking us for a quote prior to ordering. Please allow 2-4 weeks shipping time on custom made items. Please allow 2-4 weeks handling time on custom built VersaTube buildings. EZ-Fit and Handy Home sheds are usually delivered within our 3-10 days but can take up to 21 days in some areas. ShedsDirect.com does not guarantee any shipping time for any reason.
*Shipping only available within the mainland contiguous United States. Shipping unavailable to AK, HI and any US territories or islands located off the mainland.
Shipping Cost
Whether you are buying a very small item or a huge item weighing thousands of pounds, ALL of our products are Shipped absolutely FREE to anywhere in the mainland contiguous USA. *Excludes AK, HI and any US territories or islands located off the mainland.
Large Item Delivery
Some of our storage buildings are very large and too heavy to ship via package carriers. Contracted freight companies deliver these structures. These companies will call the consumer when merchandise arrives at their terminal to set up a delivery time that is convenient for you (*some carriers no longer provide appointment service and you can call them to schedule delivery). These companies provide tailgate delivery. Upon delivery the driver is only required to take products to the curb, your driveway or entrance of delivery address. The carrier is not responsible for bringing merchandise into your home, uncrating, installing or removing packing materials. Truck freight is different than standard UPS, FedEx or US Mail in that you will be responsible for carrying the product from the back of the truck into your house (or wherever its going). If you are ordering a very large item, please keep in mind that you may need a couple of people to help. Alternatively, most truck freight companies offer additional services to help you move items from the truck into your house. Once we email you the tracking information you can contact the shipper directly to inquire about additional services. You would be responsible for directly paying the truck freight carrier for any additional services. ShedsDirect.com is not responsible for any restrictions due to geographic location, inaccessible roads (dirt, gravel, dead ends, single lane, low hanging wires etc.), local covenants, neighborhood association laws or any other restrictions that would prevent the delivery of your shipment. If you have any delivery restrictions that would prevent a large truck from accessing delivery to the curb of your property please contact us prior to ordering. ShedsDirect.com will not be responsible for any shipping costs incurred for undeliverable merchandise for any reason and these costs will be deducted from the customer refund. ShedsDirect.com will not be responsible for any costs incurred for special delivery fees to deliver to an inaccessible area that requires special needs. Additional delivery fees for special needs will be the responsibility of the customer to pay for added services. If a change of address is needed after the order has shipped the carrier will charge a fee for this service called a reconsignment fee. All reconsignment service fees will be the responsibility of the customer. Some remote locations are not serviced by our LTL carriers and we do not guarantee delivery to these areas.
Damaged Merchandise
The most important thing to remember about truck freight is that you MUST inspect the package at the time of delivery. A delivery appointment time will be set and you or someone 18 years or older representing you will be required to be present during delivery, inspect to make sure the items are all there and in good condition, then sign for them. If merchandise has shipping damage at time of delivery, consumer should indicate "damaged" on the paperwork. If damage is obvious please refuse the delivery. If the damage is minor or shows possible concealed damages, please write "damaged" on the BOL what items are damaged and accept the delivery. We will replace damaged parts free of charge if paperwork is marked "damaged" and reported to us within 48 hours (we only have 48 hours to open claim with the shipping company). If there is significant damage, consumer should indicate "damaged" on the paperwork, refuse the delivery, then contact us giving a detailed description of the damages. We will have new items sent to replace damages found right away. Please note, in most cases if there is significant damage and the delivery is refused we can offer a full refund if desired but some of our suppliers only guarantee a reship. For damaged delivery refusals our normal process is to reship the order. Note: Do Not refuse delivery on damages of Gorilla brand products. Their policy is to accept the delivery and send replacements.

All returns are handled via email to ensure proper communication and documentation. We will process your request and email you return instructions within 24 hrs.
