    Shipping Information

    The physical address will be needed for shipping quotes.  It is important to note, commercial freight companies charge $75 for residential delivery and another $75 if a lift gate service is needed to get the crate off the truck to the ground.  To avoid these charges, find a friend that has a commercial address and a fork truck to offload the crate.  If you cannot find one, but have a truck or car with a trailer the crate can be sent "hold for terminal pickup" to avoid those charges.  An large SUV with the seats down can accommodate the rigging.  BBT does not use shipping as a profit center.  You will receive our discount off rack rate!  Rig comes completely enclosed in a wooden crate.
