Shipping Information

Types of Freight

  • Small Package Freight: Packages weighing less than 150 lbs and can be transported safely with a small package carrier (FedEx).
  • LTL Freight: Less than truckload. Multiple cartons/products shipped that can be consolidated on a pallet or too heavy/large to effectively ship using a small package carrier.
  • Truckload Freight: Multiple pallets or crates of product that require enough space for truckload service. Depending on the number of space/pallets, this option could be more affordable than LTL freight.

Small Package Freight

  • FedEx is our carrier for small package shipping. Your small package shipments will ship via FedEx Ground. For expedited shipments, please call 1-855-388-9848 for quotes and options.
  • Pricing is based on a flat rate fee per carton. If you have multiple cartons that are heavier in weight, it may be less expensive and safer to ship via LTL freight. You can contact at 1-855-388-9848 for more information regarding your order and the best method to use. Please see FedEx Small Package Freight Rate chart below for small package flat rate charges.
  • Shipping time takes 1-5 business days depending on the distance the package must travel. See FedEx Estimated Ground Shipping Delivery Time map below.

LTL Freight

  • For larger orders, products too heavy/large or unsafe to ship small packages will ship LTL freight. GNE will always consolidate your order to maximize your freight savings. However, GNE will consider the product's safety before stacking a pallet to reduce freight expenses. Extraordinary delivery requirements may necessitate additional shipping fees. Island, mountain, and rural/remote location deliveries are subject to longer delivery times, additional fees, and possible cancellation outside our delivery zone.
  • Pricing is based off the weight, dimensions, class of the product, and address being shipped to.
  • GNE uses a variety of LTL carriers to enhance our ability to serve your needs. Shipping times can vary based off travel distance and remoteness of the customer location. On average, shipping times are 1-7 business days from the date of pick-up.
