Barber Chair Shipping FAQS
Q: What is the difference between LTL and FTL shipping for barber chairs?
A: Less-than-truckload (LTL) is best used when shipping small quantities, and you are comfortable sharing your freight space with other truck cargo. Full-truckload shipping (FTL) is best for larger quantities of barber chairs, which allows your freight to have a full truck dedicated to them. FTL shipments are typically faster and are more controlled.
Q: How far in advance should I schedule the shipping of barber chairs?
A: To ensure carrier availability and transit time, schedule shipping far in advance. Make sure to plan at least a few weeks in advance of your desired shipping date.
Q: Is it more cost-effective to ship single barber chairs or in bulk?
A: Generally, shipping barber chairs in bulk is more cost-effective, especially if you are shipping multiple chairs. LTL is an option for smaller quantities of barber chairs.
Q: How do you protect leather barber chair upholstery during shipping?
A: To protect the leather, you will need to wrap the chairs in plastic or another waterproof material. Wrapping the chairs protects against moisture damage, and ensuring they are well-padded will prevent scratches and tearing.
Q: When shipping barber chairs, what is the max weight capacity for a standard pallet?
A: When evenly distributed weight, standard pallets are designed to carry up to 4,600 pounds or (2,087 kilograms). Make sure the combined weight of the packaging and the barber chair weight does not exceed these limits.
Q: Are there weight limits for shipping barber chairs?
A: The weight limits vary by carrier and service. If you have a large shipment of barber chairs, your freight agent will help match you with a carrier that can handle large shipments.
Q: Are there any restrictions on shipping barber chairs internationally?
A: There may be restrictions when shipping barber chairs internationally, depending on the materials and construction of the chair. Restrictions are more common, especially when chairs are made from exotic woods or materials that require special permits.
