SHIPPING VIA LTL CARRIERS

Pallet Prices

 

Do you want to minimize your shipping cost?

Here is some information which hopefully can reduce this expense for those wanting a full or partial pallet.

Shipping costs depend on different factors which we are not expert.
Distance to ship is one, your location (in the U.S.) is another, distance from a terminal is important, as is whether you have a business facility or residential, a forklift and dock, or not.

• Say that you are a customer of Wisconsin Gold Harvest. Our zip code is 53137.
• Tell them you need the best rate to get popcorn from us to you. You need to give them the total weight so multiply the bags you want by 50 as they are 50 pound bags. Your order will be on a pallet which weighs approximately 40 pounds.
• Give them the required information and they will give you a quote right then on the phone, or they will fax you the quote in a short period of time. (If you don't have a fax, have them fax the quote to us at 608-663-5023).
• If they need it, popcorn is class 60, NMF classification #73250.  Our pallet size is 42 x 48 inches.
• Mention whether you are a home or business. It's cheaper if you are a business. If you have a straight, easy driveway at your home the easy access for the truck may let you get by with you calling it a business address. If it's a home delivery they have to make extra work by specifying a delivery time, etc. The trucker wants to pull in, have the product unloaded in a flash so he can leave without wasting time.
• Mention if you will be unloading by hand or if you have a forklift. Do you need a tailgate on the truck that lowers? That costs extra.
• Ask if it is cheaper to pick it up from the terminal yourself.
• Think of where else you could have it delivered, a friend who has business with a dock, for instance.
• Once you have a shipping quote that is acceptable and want to order our popcorn, either have the LTL carrier fax us the shipping quote at 1-888-310-2422, or forward their fax to us.
