How much will shipping cost?
Shipping costs will vary depending on several factors including yurt size, quantity, shipping method and delivery location. We’re happy to provide a shipping estimate to your location based on which size yurt and features you are considering. For international customers, CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) rate estimates can be provided upon request. Please check with your Customs Agent for further information regarding import fees that may apply.
How do I arrange and pay for shipping?
In most cases, you will pay Pacific Yurts directly for the shipping charges. Pacific Yurts will schedule shipment of your yurt to the specified delivery address, however you will be the party coordinating directly with the shipping company for the delivery of your yurt. We will provide you with tracking information and/or contact information for the shipping company after the yurt leaves our facility. We recommend calling them at that time to coordinate the delivery of your shipment. For shipments to Hawaii, the Ocean Freight shipping costs are billed directly to the receiver and must be paid before the shipping company will release the freight.
How do I unload my yurt?
MOTOR FREIGHT Shipment – Site Delivery
For 12′ – 24′ yurts, in most cases the freight carrier will allow the crates to be disassembled in the truck so the enclosed items can be carried off along with the other components. In this case, a minimum of 3 strong people is required for manually unloading. For 30′ yurts, a forklift MUST be available on the delivery site for unloading – the forklift must have 6’ forks or extensions due to the length of the shipping crates. Motor Freight shipments can only be delivered to sites considered to be “semi-truck accessible” – paved, wide, maintained roads, with adequate room for the truck to turn around, etc.
MOTOR FREIGHT Shipment – Terminal “Will Call” Pickup
BOX TRUCK Shipment – Site Delivery
In some cases, we can ship yurts via Box Truck – these trucks can often travel on roads and driveways that are otherwise inaccessible to semi trucks. These box trucks are equipped with a pallet jack and a liftgate to aid with unloading, but you will need a minimum of 2 people to unload 12′ – 16′ yurts, and a minimum of 3 people to unload 20′ – 30′ yurts.
What do I need to know if I pick up my uncrated yurt at your facility?
Some of our customers choose to pick up their yurt at our facility. The hours for pick up are 8:30 am to 2:30 pm, Monday through Friday. We will supply “Customer Pick Up Requirements” documents which will help you choose an appropriately sized vehicle for picking up your yurt. Since the combination of features chosen will dictate the final weight and dimensions of the components, it is important to speak to our shipping clerk about the specific load-out requirements for your order. For instance, if your order includes Glass Window Systems, additional space will be required.
