SALES POLICY
Florida Hardware sales policy is to sell and ship directly only to Retailers who stock and resell the merchandise we distribute. These retailers must have a permanent business location with consistent business hours and be open to the public. Florida Hardware reserves the right to refuse to sell to any dealers who fail to meet these criteria.
DELIVERY
Florida Hardware Trucking Company operates its own fleet of tractor-trailers. We service most markets on a weekly (or bi-weekly) truck route. Some markets outside of truck areas are serviced with LTL common carrier shippers. To find the delivery day in your area, please contact your salesperson or call customer service. We also offer UPS service when needed.
FREIGHT POLICY
Your minimum order amount is available on www.floridahardware.com under ‘My Profile’, from your salesperson, or customer service. All truck and common deliveries carry a flat $24.00 charge. Certain classes of freight are excluded from contributing to your order minimum. Items designated as “Freight Excluded” contain *FE* in the product description. The excluded freight classes include but are not limited to: salt & salt blocks, pine shavings, concrete & mortar mix, pelletized & lawn lime, soils & sand, mulches, gravel & decorative rock, select animal feeds, and bulk fertilizer. If your delivery requires special handling please contact your sales person or customer service for special freight terms. If you do not meet the minimum order or you require shipment before your scheduled day, we can ship product via UPS or common carrier freight collect.
