HBF Optional Guaranteed Freight Program
This program offers the opportunity to provide a fixed freight cost at the time of order placement, a service that has typically proven to be very difficult to control. HBF has achieved this by negotiating preferential rates with various regional and national freight carriers.
All you have to do is:
- Determine the zone to which HBF products are to be shipped.
- Use the table below to calculate your fixed freight cost as a percentage of the lowest published list price of your order, including charges for table surfaces if selecting a finish with an upcharge, like a solid surface.
- Please indicate on your purchase order "Guaranteed Freight Program."
HBF will:
- Select the carrier to be used.
- Include your pre-calculated fixed freight rate as a part of your invoice.
Note: Invoicing for freight on this program will appear on the initial invoice for the order if the order is split-shipped. All subsequent invoicing for the order will be for product only.
