Amish Custom Gun Cabinet Shipping

The Wood Loft Custom Gun Cabinets works with local shippers, delivery services that specialize in Amish furniture, and also bid out gun cabinet shipping to different private shippers to find the  most economical shipper as well as one who will get your gun cabinet to you in perfect condition.  We encourage all of our customers to discuss different shipping options with us as well as provide as much information as you can on your location so that we can start the bidding process and give you shipping prices right at the very beginning. 

If you wish to pickup your case here at the store we will gladly help get it safely loaded. Bring plenty of blankets.You will probably need help on the home end with most cases.

Lastly if you have a shipper you have used in the past and would like to use them let us know and we will help you schedule your custom gun cabinet with the shipper of your choice.

There are different levels of shipping that are usually offered from most shippers.

The most economical is curbside shipping.  We generally try to avoid this as you can usually use the help getting the cabinetry into the house or gun room. With curbside service shippers will usually bring your gun cabinet to your location but then it is up to you and friends to unload the cabinet and relocate it into your house.  Due to the size of some of our Amish custom gun cabinets we recommend that you have a friend or two to help you unload your cabinet and get it set up properly.  Keep in mind that in some cases the shipper will have a lift gate which will lower the gun cabinet down and sometimes there will be no lift gate so that is why it is nice to have some help to unload.

The next level, and most common, is blanket wrapped or inside delivery.  This is the level that the majority of our customers use. Here the shipper will unload your cabinet and then place it into your house.  Often they can use a hand getting your cabinet inside and into place. They will help getting the case setup for you where you want it, but second floors, or basements need to talked about prior to delivery.

Here the shipper will unload the furniture,  take the gun cabinet into your house,  unwrap the gun cabinet, set the gun cabinet in the location of your choosing, and then remove all packing supplies. Larger units will  require two people on the truck and therefore will cost somewhat more.

All Shippers will contact you directly and arrange a time to meet.

No matter what level of delivery you choose to go with you MUST inspect your gun cabinet for any damage that may have occurred in the shipping process.  All of the shippers we use, no matter what level you require, are licensed, bonded, and insured to ensure that your Amish crafted gun cabinet reaches you in perfect condition.  In rare cases, if you find any problems or damage to your custom gun cabinet make sure to note the damage on the shippers waybill.   Obviously, if it is determined to be a flaw in material or workmanship, we and our team will stand behind it and make it good. Damage during shipping is the responsibility of the carrier. We will help work thru that. But it is far easier if damage is caught at the time of delivery.

We also encourage you to take photos of the damage while the shipper is on site to document any flaws.  If the shipper refuses to remain on site while you are inspecting your items, be sure to make a note of that on the waybill.  Once the waybill is signed and the shipper leaves it becomes much harder to properly file a claim.  If you sign the waybill and find a problem later,  we still will stand behind the problem and will fix it. It will be the responsibility of you, the customer, to cover all costs with getting the custom gun cabinet back to us and then redelivered. That is why we stress to look everything over when it is delivered.

Lastly we always always encourage our clients to snap photos of their new Amish made custom gun cabinet once they get it set up and have their collection displayed.  We always try to take photos here in our store before the gun cabinet leaves the shop or store, but we love to see it in it’s new home.
