What to expect with delivery of your new Shuffleboard Table.
What does shipping on a shuffleboard table include?
Every handcrafted McClure Shuffleboard Table is shipped with curbside delivery. McClure Tables offers a home delivery service for our shuffleboard table at checkout. Prices vary by table model, size, and end location of the table (up or down stairs). Inside delivery or labor to unload is not part of the shipping service provided. This article, what to Expect, explains how tables are packed and shipped, what is involved in unloading your shuffleboard table, and how we pack them.
Customer shuffleboard tables are sometimes shipped with LTL carriers, trucking terminology for (less than truckload). All handcrafted shuffleboard tables are shipped on semi-tractor trailer freight commercial carriers, as shown here. In most cases, we use a direct truck, which means the table is not transferred from the terminal to freight hubs.
Will They Put My Shuffleboard Table in the Garage?
The service does not include inside delivery or the table in the garage. Customers are responsible for providing enough labor to remove the table from the truck. See the picture below of a 22’ table crated, boxed, and ready to ship. A larger table like this will not fit on the lift gate, so lift gate service will not be added, and we advise you to have four or more people to unload. Below is a picture of a large table where the packing is done; you see the straps you can cut off and remove the two cabinet boxes that often have legs packed inside. The typical cabinet weighs 200 to 300 pounds; the crate on the bottom is heavy. The playboard is packed inside the crate, and the net weight on a 20-foot to 22-foot board can be 450 to 500 pounds; the crate is about 250 pounds, so the total shipping weight on a 20 or 22-foot table can be 1200 pounds.
When do they deliver my new handcrafted shuffleboard?
The trucking companies or delivery service will contact you the day before delivery and schedule an appointment. Normally, this is a 4-8 hour window, but the driver will usually call 1 hour in advance on the day of arrival. Once you have been notified that the table is shipping, the normal transit time is 3 to 7 days, and shuffleboard table deliveries are scheduled Monday through Friday. The curbside delivery service means the truck driver is not responsible for removing the table. You must provide at least two to four people to help unload. If you have ordered installation service, the installers will normally receive the table and bring it out to your home in their own trucks to set up and install.
