Packaging and Shipping

To report any damaged items, please email freight@doortodoorco.com.

Door orders from Door to Door typically process within 12 to 15 business days. Door orders with jamb kits have, at this time, an additional lead time of up to three weeks. We ship to the 48 contiguous U.S. states and the District of Columbia only. For shipping to Hawaii and Alaska, please contact us for a quote on your order.

Shipping fees cover standard delivery to the end of the residential driveway. When your merchandise arrives, expect it to be heavy and bulky. The doors come on pallets and are crated, weighing at least 125lbs. They are delivered by motor freight carriers such as Estes or Old Dominion Truck Lines for example. Residential freight deliveries are not just dropped off at a customer’s home like UPS or FedEx. Freight deliveries require an appointment and usually more than one person to help offload. A signature is also required on a delivery receipt agreeing that the freight has been delivered “in good order, free and clear of visible damage”. If there is damage, or if the strap or shrink wrap is missing, do not sign the delivery receipt until it is called into the carrier and reported. The driver will get an “exception number” and notate it on the delivery receipt with the number of doors damaged. At this point, take pictures of the crate damage, and any damage to the doors. You may also open the crate in the presence of the driver to do so. 

If you sign the delivery receipt and there is damage that is not reported on the spot, we cannot file a claim. Your signature without an exception or DD (delivered damaged) number, constitutes that freight has arrived without damage and we will not be responsible for refunding or replacing the doors. You are agreeing to accept the delivery and contents as is.

**Damage needs to be reported within 48 hours. Please open and inspect your order within this time frame.

**Freight carriers will not deliver your doors if you are not home. Someone of 18 years or older must be present to accept delivery. If an appointment is made and you are not there when the driver arrives, you may be subject to a $75 re-delivery fee. If the Freight Company has to hold your merchandise for any given amount of time due to missed scheduled deliveries, you may be charged for storage fees.

Please do not expect the driver to assist in helping you unload, unpack or move your delivery. You can expect the driver to move the crate to the end of that back of the trailer. If the crate is over 150lbs., a liftgate will likely be used to lower the crate to the ground. It will be your responsibility to move and open the crate from that point on. Again, we highly recommend to have assistance when receiving your door order with delivery. If you are not able to get assistance, the doors are easier to be managed once they are removed from the crate. Having a crowbar or hammer handy will help in removing the packaging.

We take care in packaging our product. Please be prepared for the excess material and have a plan for removal and disposal of the crating materials used in packaging your doors. The driver is not responsible to remove, dispose of, or take away any of the packaging material that comes with our doors.

*Above is one door crated and ready to ship, for your reference.

Please note, some drivers have been known to be of more assistance if you are able to offer them some financial compensation, but we cannot guarantee this - it’s just a recommendation from previous experience. Please be safe in unloading your merchandise.

All orders are shipped via a motor freight carrier. Dealing with a motor freight carrier is different than using UPS or the postal service. For UPS, order will be dropped off without notification or signature required(unless customer chooses option at checkout). Someone must be present at the shipping location to inspect the packaging for damage. When your product arrives, expect it to be heavy and bulky. The driver will lower the freight to the ground and get it out of the weather if the location is easily traversed with a pallet jack. If the pathway/driveway is long, sloped, graveled, or basically tough to maneuver plan on taking the shipment at the drivers truck. Do not expect a motor freight driver to carry anything inside unless an inside delivery was arranged prior to shipment. If inside delivery is needed additional charges will apply.

The door(s) will be easier to manage once you cut the plastic bands that bind them to the pallet. This will leave you handling a 60 lb door (approximately) rather than an entire pallet. This will also allow you to inspect for any damage. 

When your order arrives, be sure to inspect for quantities ordered and condition. All claims must be made within 48 hours of receipt of your door. If the strap is broken or the package appears damaged DO NOT release the driver or sign for the delivery. Document all damage and contact us to submit a claim with the carrier within 48 hours of receipt. We are not responsible for orders not checked within the claim window. If any items are missing from your order, you must notify us via email or phone within 7 days of receipt. If any claims need to be filed, we are only responsible for working with the Freight Companies that deliver from our warehouse to shipping addresses within the United States. If items are shipped outside of the country after we have fulfilled the delivery with one of the Freight Carriers we use, and if there has been any damage that has occurred from the shipping destination within the United States, to the final destination outside of the United States, the customer is responsible for handling those claims with Carrier that was reassigned after our fulfillment.
