We offer free shipping on all swimming pool packages and accessories throughout the Continential United States.
We do ship to Alaska and Hawaii but shipping is not included in our prices please call for a shipping quote 800-986-0748.
All pool packages are transported by freight carriers and are CURBSIDE DELIVERY – the 47’ tractor trailer will deliver your package(s) to the end of your driveway. Freight deliveries are between 10-14 business days, depending on location and time of season. Please contact a sales representative for specific information 800-986-0748.
Please plan ahead to arrange means of getting the product(s) off the truck and to your desired location. Swimming pool packages require 2 individuals present at delivery time to get the products off the truck and moved to your desired location.
A liftgate service is available for a fee of $49, but must be requested when your order is placed. Tractor trailers with lift gates will lower the skid to the ground. Please be aware that even with this service, you will still need 2 people to move the product(s) from the curb to your desired location.
**The freight company is not required to take the product(s) off the truck nor to move the product(s) to your desired location.
Your Residence or Business must be accessible by a 47’ tractor-trailer. If the freight company cannot access your location with a tractor trailer you will need to provide an alternate location for delivery or make arrangement to pick the shipment up at the terminal.
Please let your sales representative know if the trucking company will have a problem delivering to your location at time of ordering so an alternative location can be scheduled and problems can be avoided.
If the ship to address needs to be changed after the pool has already shipped, the customer will need to pay a reconsignment fee of $29 before the change is made. Please make sure if there is a problem with the delivery location you notify your sales representative at time of order.
We pay shipping charges in advance. You are not required to pay any additional shipping charges at the time of delivery. For residential deliveries the freight company will contact you to schedule an appointment before they deliver your product(s).
