Delivery Instructions

Please note that the estimated delivery time quoted to you at the time of your order is based on information received from the manufacturer at that time. It can never be a guarantee of delivery time. UDIYKITS, U DIY KITS INC. will inform you immediately if we become aware of a change in circumstance from the manufacturer.

In keeping with our high standard of customer service, both as a company and with the manufacturers we represent, we would ask that you keep the following instructions for when you receive your order.

Smaller Items

Whenever possible, for smaller items, UPS will be used as the delivery company. UPS deliveries must be within the Contiguous US. UPS will not deliver to APO, FPO or PO Box #'s. Deliveries to non-UPS shippable addresses may not be possible OR may take longer to arrive and may cost more money. We do not offer "Special Shipping" (3-Day, 2-Day, Overnight, etc.), we ship UPS Ground Only.
Larger items will be delivered by Common Carrier (ABF Freight, N&B, APA, Yellow Freight, Overnight Express, Estes or any other major carrier deemed worthy by the manufacturer).

Larger Items

Many of our products are shipped via Common Carrier/Freight Truck, using several different Common Carrier companies which are selected at the discretion of our represented manufacturers. To help avoid damages materials of long lengths may be cut in multiple pieces; any of the materials may be cut to any lengths and spliced at any location at UDIYKITS, U DIY KITS INC. discretion.
The carrier (delivery company) is paid to call you and set up a delivery time. At that time please take down the shipping company name and phone number. If they don't show up exactly on time, it would be the shipping company you would call. UDIYKITS, 2690641 Ontario LTD are not responsible for how the shipping company adheres to their shipping schedules. We will assist in any way we can however we may not be able to affect the day's outcome.

The following applies to most common carrier deliveries.

  • Shipments by common carrier are delivered to or as close to the purchaser’s property line (Driveway) provided the location is deemed accessible by the delivering freight carrier. The drivers’ responsibility ends by opening up the back of the truck. The driver is not responsible to unload to the curb. It is highly recommended that you have someone to help you unload your unit from the truck and into the garage or backyard.
    In all cases your unit will be shipped and packaged such that two people can carry any portion of your unit.
  • you will be given a reasonable time frame to unload freight ranging between 15-30 minutes. Please be aware that freight is prepaid and that no additional expenses should be paid to delivering freight Carriers for deliveries described above. In the event that a clerical error has occurred - call us 1.-905-207-8294
  • If you wish to have the shipping company do more than what has been laid out above, they do have "pay for service" options available. You will need to discuss that with the shipping company when they call to make the delivery time arrangements.
