In-Stock items coming from our San Diego warehouse have the following lead times: 1-3 days for California destinations; 7-10 days for Midwest destinations; and 10-14 days for East Coast destinations.

All items not stocked in our warehouse have a 10-14 day lead time from the Manufacturer's point of origin.

Once your order has been submitted, a confirmation email will be sent to you, which will include shipping and delivery lead time estimates. These estimates will also appear under "My Account". 

Expedited shipping is available, including 2-Day and Next Day (with the addition of Saturday Air under certain circumstances). Orders must be submitted prior to 11:00am Pacific Standard Time in order to receive expedited delivery in the timeframe specified. Expedited orders placed after 11:00am Pacific Standard Time or on Saturday/Sunday normally ship the next business day. Some orders may be subject to verification of billing/shipping information and may therefore be delayed.

Sunbelt Supply Co. works tirelessly to have shipments arrive within the specified timeframe. During times of heavy order volume, expedited shipments may take longer to process. Therefore, we recommend you plan accordingly. To ensure delivery timeframes, order early during peak times and holidays, such as Easter, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, as well as when schools resume in late-August and mid-January.

When placing your order, you may choose from several methods of shipment and you will be able to select the method and pricing that best fits your needs. 

Stock orders ship from our distribution centers located in California and Texas. Shipping charges are automatically calculated using the distribution center as the point of origin. We reserve the right to ship certain products or orders directly to a customer from the manufacturer. In these cases, freight costs, if any, will be calculated using the manufacturer as the point of origin.

Sunbelt Supply Co. currently ships to any public street address in the 48 continental states. Orders cannot be delivered to PO Boxes.

In rare cases where the delivery company is not able to complete a delivery due to accessibility, we will attempt to notify you and help arrange for you to pick up the order at the carrier's nearest terminal. Orders may be held for reasons including, but not limited to, inaccessible destination address, incorrect contact information or an insufficient address. You will be responsible for any storage costs, redelivery charges or other fees that may result from holding the order at the terminal.

Each order may only have one "ship to" address. If you require multiple "ship to" addresses, please order separately for each address. Minimum order and freight policies will apply to each order, and orders may not be combined.

Sunbelt Supply Co. ships orders to both commercial and residential addresses. Commercial addresses are defined as business addresses situated on commercially zoned real estate, as determined by the freight carrier. Businesses operated from a house, apartment or other dwelling are not considered commercial addresses and will be charged any applicable residential delivery fees. 

Orders of free freight eligible products that subtotal under $250 that are shipping to the same address will be assessed freight and handling charges, unless otherwise indicated. When ordering factory direct items not stocked in our warehouse, a freight charge may be assessed in accordance with the freight chart. After you finish adding items to the Shopping Cart, you will receive Standard Ground and Expedited shipping options to best meet your needs. Though not standard, inside delivery is available for an additional fee.

Whether an order has split shipments depends on the items ordered and whether the product is stocked in our warehouse. In-Stock items ship from our warehouse within 48 business hours after the order is placed in the system. Factory Direct items ship from the Manufacturer and generally have a 10-14 day lead time.

LTL Common Carrier delivery requires an adult signature at the time of delivery. It is that adult's responsibility to inspect the merchandise being delivered for damage or shortage. By signing for a shipment without notice of damage or shortage, you are accepting the product in good condition. Once the driver leaves with your signature, your ability to claim damage or shortage against the carrier is significantly reduced. Most claims against a carrier are denied if they have a free and clear delivery signature.

It is also the responsibility of the Customer to have adequate help and any necessary equipment to receive product at the back of the delivery vehicle.

Please be advised that Sunbelt Supply Co. does not ship orders C. O. D. 

Sunbelt Supply Co. operates a fleet of delivery trucks. These trucks operate out of our warehouses in San Diego, CA and Dallas, TX.

Generally, orders placed to deliver on a route need to be submitted 48 business hours prior to a route's expected delivery day. For example, if a route is scheduled to deliver on Friday, all orders expecting to go on that truck need to be placed no later than 11:00 am Wednesday in each respective time zone (PST or CST). During times of heavy order volume, such as major holidays and back-to-school, deliveries made on route trucks may be delayed until the following scheduled delivery day. Please plan accordingly and order early.

At this time, we are unable to ship online orders internationally. If you have a freight forwarder, we can assist you with shipping to that address. Please contact Customer Service to check availability for these arrangements.
