Shipping & Delivery:

Please Note:  The 8' x 12' SunShed Garden Shed ships on a pallet via standard motor freight. The freight carrier will call in advance to schedule a delivery date.  On the morning of the delivery, we recommend calling the carrier to confirm your shipment is on schedule. Carriers typically deliver between 9am-5pm. Make sure you are present or have someone available to receive the shipment.  At the time of delivery, do not sign until you have inspected the freight for any damage.

Liftgate Delivery:  This means that the driver will take your skid to the back of the truck, place it on the liftgate, lower it to the ground and place it next to the truck. (A liftgate is required due to the large nature of this product; however, if you have a forklift at the delivery location, please call us before ordering and we will deduct the liftgate fee).

Once lift-gated down, take a moment to cut the straps and pull off the plastic tarp. Check for any corner damages, wood chips, sharp cuts/gouges to the product, or if the pallet is broken.

After checking the shipment, we recommend keeping the plastic shipping tarp to cover and protect the cedar components until you are ready to start your project. When finished, repurpose it!

Due to its large size, this item is not eligible to be returned or canceled once it has shipped. If you have any questions, please reach out before your purchase.
