Some items sold by ACF Greenhouses are shipped directly from the manufacturer's
warehouse. While this helps us to deliver products to customers faster, it also
means that your order may consist of items from multiple locations (you could
possibly receive multiple packages arriving at different times). Below is a breakdown
of delivery methods and shipping times. ACF does not ship outside of the USA.
Free Shipping: Any item which we offer free
shipping is limited to the contiguous United States (This excludes AK and HI).
Please contact us for the availability and cost to ship elsewhere.
Grow lights will only be shipped to an address
listed with your credit card company. Shipping addresses can easily be added to
most credit card accounts by calling the phone number on the back of the credit
card.
Customer Pick Up: We offer the option for customers
to pick up orders from our warehouse and save on shipping costs. Some items ship
direct and can not be picked up from our warehouse. Please call ahead to
give us time to prepare your order and verify items are in stock. VA sales tax
will apply to all pickup orders.

Figuring Shipping Charges Online
Shipping charges can easily be obtained for any item that can be ordered
online. Simply click on the
button next to the item you are interested in. Enter in your zip code, select
the appropriate shipping method, and click on the submit button (no purchase has

button. This process can be used for multiple item orders also.
Shipment by Priority Mail
These orders are shipped by the USPS and can be shipped to any destination
in the United States that excepts postal mail. Orders are normally shipped
within 1 to 2 business days. Orders are shipped by Priority Mail service
(delivery usually takes 2
to 3 business days after order is shipped) unless otherwise stated. Some
items can't be shipped by Priority Mail. Delivery times are not guaranteed. For
more information about USPS services, please visit www.usps.com.
Shipment by UPS Ground and 2nd Day Air
These orders are shipped by UPS and can be shipped to any destination in
the United States (except PO Boxes). Orders are normally shipped within 1
to 2 business days. Orders are shipped by Ground (delivery
usually takes 3 to 6 business days after order is shipped) unless otherwise
stated. 2nd Day Air (Guaranteed
to arrive 2 business days after it is shipped) service is guaranteed from
time of shipping, not from when the order was placed. UPS does not deliver on
Saturday or Sunday or require a signature for delivery. For more information about
UPS services, please visit www.ups.com.
UPS Additional Delivery Fee
If a customer changes their delivery address after shipment or an incorrect
shipping address is provided, UPS charges an additional $12 per package which
we pass on to the customer. Common address mistakes include:
- Using incorrect or missing important words like North, Avenue, Street, Place,
etc.
- Wrong city or incorrect zip code used.
- No apartment or suite # specified when applicable.
Online Orders: Some items shipped via 2nd Day
Air may incur dimensional weight surcharges not reflected in the online shopping
cart. You will be notified before shipping if additional charges apply.
Shipment by FREIGHT TRUCK (Items
shipped by freight truck include the following)
Freight orders can be shipped to most destinations located
in the United States (except Alaska and Hawaii). Sunshine
and Cross Country
greenhouses normally take 3 to 5 weeks to be delivered. Grow
More greenhouses and heaters are usually delivered in 1 to 2 weeks.
It is the customer's responsibility to be present at the time of delivery for
residential orders (the freight carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery
day. Delivery times are generally limited to standard business day hours).
Freight trucks are responsible for curbside / streetside delivery only. Most freight
terminals only have full size tractor trailers available to deliver with. If this
size truck is unable to drive to your address, you will probably need to have
the shipment delivered to another location. For most shipments, it is recommended
that at least two people be available to help the freight truck driver unload
the shipment. Freight carriers do not deliver on Saturday or Sunday. If you have
special delivery needs, call us at 888-888-9050, and we will do our best to accommodate
you.
Once the carrier signs the bill of lading (receipt) they
become your agent acting on your behalf as though you were there picking up the
order yourself. The safe and careful handling of your shipment is then their
responsibility. Upon arrival at your destination, you should be aware of
some helpful steps on handling the receipt.
FREIGHT TRUCK DELIVERY
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Count the number of pieces.
Check the number of boxes received against the number shown
on the driver's delivery sheet. If there is a shortage, write the number
of missing boxes on your copy and the driver's copy of the receipt, and have the
driver sign both copies.
2. Check the delivery for damages.
When checking for damages, it is important to look for
all visible damage such as, boxes that are crushed, dented, torn, opened, resealed,
punctured, wet, stained, and the number of boxes delivered without regard to the
"This Side Up" instructions printed on the box. Make all notations of shortages
or damages directly under the contents shipped section on all copies of the delivery
receipt. Failure to note damage on delivery receipts will cause delays in the
replacement process and possibly having to prove the damage was not done after
you received the shipment.
3. Do not refuse delivery for minor damage.
If a package is damaged, check the contents for damage before refusing delivery.
If damage appears to be minor, and only a few items need to be replaced, we recommend
accepting the shipment (or at least any undamaged packages) after making note
of damages on delivery receipt. Doing this will speed up the replacement process
in many cases because parts can be shipped sooner and faster delivery methods
can be used.
4. Contact us if you have a problem.
The guidelines above will help us to process any claims
you may have faster. Please contact us within 10 to 15 days of delivery if you
have problems with your shipment. We will work with you and the carrier
to replace any damaged or missing items as soon as possible.
