When To Consider Freight
Freight may be the best option for shipping very large orders which contain heavy and/or very large items which would cost too much to ship FedEx/UPS. The best way to make a freight shipment economically effective is to fill a pallet completely, since doing so yields the lowest cost in terms of dimensional weight. Our team is happy to carefully mix terrariums, substrates, wood decor, and more on a single pallet. The average pallet footprint is 42in x 48in, which we can safely fill anywhere from 36-72in high. Shipping to a commercial address always costs less, especially if you have access to a loading dock or forklift. With that in mind, we only recommend this service for larger orders ($1000+), since LTL freight may not be cost effective for smaller purchases. There are no additional costs for pallets, palletization, handling, or lift gate services on our end. To get a freight-sized order started, please use the form below. There's no obligation to purchase, and quotes are typically offered within 3 business days.
Additional Considerations:
• No dock/forklift? Use "Liftgate Service"
• Drivers can't help unpack or carry
• Transit times range from 3-14 days
• No perishables may ship via freight

About Bulk Discounts:
Order Minimums:
Volume discounts may be available for bulk sized purchases of NEHERP-branded products depending on market availability and other factors. All bulk purchases (minimums described below) will be too large to ship using standard FedEx/USPS service, and usually cost less to ship via freight/LTL transit. To ensure the cost of freight shipping can be offset, we recommend a minimum order of $700. For folks looking to place an order for less than a pallet of product, our Kit Prices combined with Instant Rewards will be the best deal we can offer. If you'd like to get a quote on a pallet quantity of products, please review the discount thresholds below and use the form on this page to get a volume order started! Please keep in mind we're happy to combine-ship non-bulk products on palleted orders, excluding perishable items.
