Shipping and Delivery Information:

We have made shipping easy for you while making sure you get the best possible price. Fitnessequipmentestore.com and Fit Equipment Etc. ships via the US Post Office (First Class and Priority Mail), UPS, FedEx and Common Carrier curbside delivery. Choice of carrier will be made based on the size and weight of your order. We do our best to ship everything out as soon as we can. Please allow at least 7 business days for handling and shipping the order. After that point we will obtain a tracking number and you can e-mail us at [email protected] for details. Certain items that are back ordered or on their way to our warehouse may take more time.

All items in our online store include shipping to the 48 contiguous U.S. states, unless otherwise noted. Address must be accessible to semi-trailer truck for non-UPS size shipments.
Additional shipping charges will apply to residents outside the 48 contiguous states and other countries. Please call for a shipping quote. If you require expedited shipping (Next Day Air or Second Day Air), please call Fit Equipment Etc. to place your order. 508 845-6774

We cannot ship to P.O. boxes or military addresses (APO / FPO). A large number of the products we sell cannot be shipped via the US Post Office.

About Common Carrier Delivery:

Most items weighing over 150 LBS ship via common carrier truck. If your order includes items that are to be shipped via common carrier, the delivery company will contact you to set up a delivery date. Residential customers must be home to sign for truck shipments. If you are unable to be home the day of delivery, then pick-up at the carrier's local terminal may be necessary. Appointment deliveries or time window deliveries may not be available.

FitnessEquipmentEstore.com will not accept returns or cancellations due to delays in delivery by common carrier delivery companies. Although we use the largest and most well-known carriers, we are not responsible for delays in transit, freight company employee conduct, missed delivery appointments or damages to the customer's premises. Cancellations after shipment are not accepted.

Please be sure to note any damage or shortage on the delivery receipt before signing for a shipment. Title of goods passes to the purchaser when a shipment is accepted for transportation by the carrier. When you sign for a shipment, you are indicating that all cartons shown on the receipt are present and in good condition. If this is not true, be sure to note the discrepancy and have the driver initial it. For items shipped already assembled, open all cartons immediately while the driver is present. Do not discard the cartons until you know the contents are in good condition. Please contact us immediately if the item is an assembled piece or if the damage involves a part that can't be replaced.

For large pieces, we recommend purchasing lift gate service. This will send a truck with a hydraulic lift gate that will lower your shipment from the truck bed to the curb. Please call for more information and pricing.
