Standard Freight Delivery: What “Curbside” Means

All large equipment orders ship via curbside LTL freight delivery. This is the standard delivery method for large wellness equipment — and it is important to understand exactly what that means before your delivery day so there are no surprises.

  • The freight driver will use a mechanical liftgate to lower your pallet from the truck to ground level at the curb or end of your driveway. Delivery ends at curbside.
  • The driver is not permitted — and will not — bring your order up a driveway, through a door, or inside your home. This is standard freight carrier policy, not an exception.
  • You are responsible for moving everything from the curb into your home and to its final location. Plan for this before delivery day.
  • Sauna panels, cold plunge units, and massage chair boxes are heavy — most weigh between 150 and 400 lbs across multiple cartons. Have at least two adults available at the time of delivery.
  • Measure your entryway, hallways, and any staircases before ordering. If access is limited, contact us before placing your order so we can confirm deliverability to your address.
  • Assembly is the customer’s responsibility. Manufacturer instructions and video guides are included with every product and available on the manufacturer’s website. Typical sauna assembly takes 2–4 hours with two people; massage chair arm and footrest attachment takes approximately 20–30 minutes.
  • Do not leave your pallet or cartons outside after delivery. Exposure to rain or moisture can damage contents. Move boxes to a sheltered location as soon as possible after delivery.
Apartments, condos & gated communities: Freight trucks require unobstructed road clearance. If your address has a gate code, low-clearance entry, a height-restricted garage, or any other restricted access, contact us before ordering so we can confirm the carrier can reach your address. Redelivery fees resulting from inaccessible or undeliverable addresses are the customer’s responsibility.

Freight Delivery Appointments

All LTL freight deliveries require a scheduled appointment. Here is exactly what to expect:

  • Once your shipment reaches the local carrier terminal, the freight company will call the phone number on your order to schedule delivery. Delivery windows are typically 3–4 hours.
  • You or a responsible adult (18 or older) must be present at the scheduled time to accept delivery and sign the Bill of Lading.
  • Use the PRO number in your shipping confirmation email to track your freight shipment on the carrier’s website. PRO tracking provides real-time location updates and estimated delivery windows — it works differently from parcel tracking numbers.
  • Missed delivery window: If you are not available at your scheduled delivery time, any redelivery fee charged by the freight carrier is the customer’s responsibility. Contact the carrier as soon as possible to reschedule.
  • If a delivery cannot be completed and your shipment is held at the carrier’s terminal, storage fees may begin to accrue. Reschedule promptly to avoid these charges.
Holiday & peak season delays: Carrier networks experience higher volumes during November, December, and late summer. Allow extra transit time during these periods. We will communicate proactively if your order is affected by a carrier delay.

White Glove Delivery Upgrade

White Glove delivery is available as a paid upgrade on select products. This service includes inside delivery to your room of choice, full assembly, and removal of all packaging materials — a significant upgrade from standard curbside delivery.

To find out if White Glove delivery is available for your product, check the product page or your cart at checkout. Options and pricing vary by product. White Glove service must be arranged before your order ships and cannot be added after the order has been dispatched.

Don’t see the White Glove option at checkout? Contact us before placing your order — call (888) 500-5675 or email sales@recoveryroomdirect.com and we will confirm availability for your specific product.

Freight Inspection — What to Do When Your Order Arrives

The Bill of Lading (BOL) is the legal delivery receipt you sign when the freight driver arrives. Your signature without noting damage releases the carrier from all liability for transit damage. This is the single most important step of your delivery.

  • Before the driver leaves: Inspect every carton and the pallet for punctures, dents, torn corners, or crushed edges. Take your time — the driver must wait.
  • Visible damage: Write “DAMAGED” on the BOL before you sign it, and photograph both the packaging and the damage. This step costs you nothing and protects you completely.
  • Pro tip: Even when everything looks intact on the outside, you may write “Subject to Inspection” next to your signature. This notation preserves your right to report concealed damage found after opening.
  • Concealed damage discovered after opening: Email photos to sales@recoveryroomdirect.com within 5 business days of delivery.
  • Do not refuse delivery due to visible damage — refusal does not accelerate resolution and typically complicates the claim. Accept, note on the BOL, and contact us immediately.
Damage claim deadlines: Visible damage must be noted on the BOL at the time of delivery. Concealed damage must be reported to us with photos within 5 business days of delivery (use the contact information in the inspection bullet above). Claims submitted after this window, or where the BOL was signed without a damage notation, cannot be guaranteed. We coordinate with the carrier and manufacturer on your behalf.

General Information

  • Order confirmation: Sent immediately upon checkout with a full summary of your purchase.
  • Processing time: 1–5 business days depending on brand and current stock. If an item is backordered or requires custom configuration, we will contact you with an updated timeline before the order ships.
  • Tracking: LTL freight orders include a PRO number for carrier tracking. Parcel orders include a UPS or FedEx tracking number. Both are emailed when your order ships.
  • Geographic coverage: We ship to the contiguous 48 US states only. We do not currently ship to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, or international destinations. P.O. boxes cannot receive freight deliveries — a physical street address is required for all large equipment orders.
  • Rural and limited-access locations: Delivery addresses in rural areas, remote locations, cul-de-sacs, or locations that cannot accommodate a standard 53-foot semi truck may be subject to additional carrier surcharges. If a surcharge applies to your address, we will contact you before shipment for approval — you may cancel without penalty at that point.
  • Lost in transit: If your LTL shipment shows no movement or tracking update for more than 5 business days, contact us immediately. We will open a carrier trace on your behalf and keep you informed throughout.
  • Delays: Weather events, carrier capacity constraints, or inventory factors may occasionally extend delivery timelines. We will notify you proactively of any significant changes to your estimated delivery date.
