    Delivery Time

    All delivery times are estimates. Orders are usually processed and ready to ship within 1-2 business days (business days are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., EST). Most products ship out of our Pennsylvania warehouse. However, some items will be shipped directly from the manufacturer. Common carrier deliveries range from 1 to 10 days for delivery, depending on your proximity to the shipping origin. FedEx ground shipping can take anywhere from one to seven days.

    For additional shipping charges, FedEx 2nd Day Air guarantees delivery of your order by the end of the second business day from when the order was picked up from our warehouse by FedEx. FedEx Next Day Air guarantees delivery of your order by the end of the next business day after your order was picked up from our warehouse by FedEx. Expedited shipping is not an option for common carrier shipments.

    FedEx 2nd Day Air & Next Day Air orders received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time will be processed on the following business day.

    Methods & Charges

    The WEBstaurant Store ships the majority of its products via FedEx, however, for certain large and heavy items, a common carrier freight service is used. Common carrier items are noted in your shopping cart with an asterisk.

    Shipping charges for common carrier and FedEx items are calculated by factoring in the weight, dimensions, and shipping distance. We're linked live with FedEx so the shipping price you see is what it actually costs to ship the item from us to you. Some online retailers may offer "free" shipping but upon closer scrutiny, you might find that the price for the item is actually higher to make up for this "free" shipping.

    The WEBstaurant Store strives to offer you the best price that we can. Many customers find that our price is still one of the best out there even when shipping charges are added in! Some of our items do ship for free, and are denoted as such on our site. In this case, we're simply passing along savings from the manufacturer to you!

    The vast majority of our products can be shipped via FedEx to a residential address. Bear in mind that FedEx charges more to ship to a residential address versus a commercial address. This difference is usually several dollars, but varies by region. It will be reflected in your shipping charges.

    Special Order Items

    Some items on our website are not normally stocked in our warehouses. These items are marked "Special Order" underneath the price on the item's page. You should also receive a pop-up reminder of this Special Order status when placing a Special Order item into your shopping cart.

    Please understand that Special Order items may not be able to ship within 1-2 business days like our regularly stocked items. Some may be shipped directly from the manufacturer. Others might have to be ordered into our warehouse with the next order from that manufacturer, and then shipped to you.

    As a result, we urge you to contact us if you have questions about the delivery time of a Special Order item you wish to order.

    Split Shipments

    We will make every attempt to ship your order within one shipment. If multiple shipments of your order are required, the full amount of the shipping costs will be charged in the first shipment. If you want part of your order sent 2nd Day Air and the other part sent using standard Ground, please place two separate orders.
