Shipping

Most orders ship via UPS or Truck from our Des Plaines, IL warehouse. Specialty Store Services regularly researches carriers to provide you with the best prices at competitive rates and we always pass our discount down to you.

UPS Shipping

Items delivered via UPS are brought to your door, but not brought inside.

Truck Shipping

Truck shipments are not unloaded from the truck nor brought into your store or residence unless pre-arranged. If you need the item unloaded or brought into the store, it can be arranged, but here is an additional fee for this service. With White Glove service, the shipment will be professionally packaged, strapped to minimize damage, and the carrier will assist you in delivering the item inside the store or residence.

Back Orders

Occasionally, an item is not in stock on the day you place an order. If an item is on backorder, you will not be charged for the item until it ships from our warehouse. Items will ship as soon as they become available.

Drop Ship Orders

All Drop ship orders ship directly from our vendors and requires prepayment. Items drop shipped from our factory partners will ship separately from items shipping from our warehouse and may take additional days in transit.

Please note: Because items are shipped directly from the vendor, we cannot accept the return of drop shipped merchandise.
