If you need a guaranteed date of delivery, please let us know so we can make arrangements for you (additional fees will apply).There is no delivery on weekends and holidays.

Freight deliveries are curb-side delivery. Your skid will be dropped off in your driveway. You will need to make arrangements to bring the flooring inside your home.

It is very important to provide us with your best contact number, so we or the freight company can reach you during the day – usually, a cell phone number is the best option. This will assure speedy communication and fast delivery.

After You Place Your Order

Most of our orders are shipped out within 1- 5 business days after the payment is received, with the estimated transit time ranging from 1- 10 business days. We ship LTL orders (skids) with the most reputable national carriers like Arc Best, R&L Carriers, A. Duie Pyle, Estes, and others. Smaller orders we ship with UPS, Fedex or the Postal Service. Orders provided with different billing and shipping addresses may require additional verification before shipping.

If you order moldings with your flooring, moldings will ship separately via FedEx. If your flooring or underlayment needed to be sourced from another site, the underlayment may also ship separately. 

Right after shipment, we will email you a confirmation with the name of the freight carrier as well as a tracking number and a website where you can track your order.  When your order/materials arrive at the local freight terminal, a freight company representative will contact you to schedule a day and time of delivery. You can also contact the freight carrier to arrange delivery (use the carrier name and the tracking number we provided you in our shipping confirmation). We are asking to provide us with your best contact number, so we or the freight company can reach you during the day– usually, a cell phone number is the best option.

This is a one-time verification process that ensures the safety of our customers and the security of all transactions. We will contact you after the purchase to verify your shipping address. Until verification process is completed processing your order will be on a temporary hold. We have the right to deny shipments that are not verified.

Delivery Options

Residential Delivery:
All residential delivery orders are curbside delivery. You will be contacted by the freight company via the phone number you provided to us to set up a delivery time, unless delivered via R&L carriers. Drivers are unable to enter your home and are not responsible for moving the materials inside the home. Shipping of orders containing 5 boxes and more will be scheduled with a lift gate service. Each box weights approximately 35 lbs, so be prepared and arrange for some help if necessary. Someone must be there to accept the delivery. Whoever accepts the delivery must check the outside of the cartons for proper quantity/damage before signing documents.

Residential Delivery via R&L Carriers:
R&L Carriers is a signatureless delivery system where the customer is not required to be present for the delivery. Delivery appointments are not available through R&L deliveries. R&L is still considered curbside delivery, however, the freight will be secured in a location to the best of the drivers ability. A photo of the shipment will be sent to the customer and Bestlaminate to confirm the product has been delivered. Any unforeseen weather conditions can expect a tarp to cover the product properly. If your shipment arrives with any damage, you must contact Bestlaminate within 24 hours to report per R&L’s policy.
