Shipping Updates

Currently we are experiencing very minor impact related to shipping. Below is a list of current impacts.

• Inside Delivery services are currently suspended
• Due to the overwhelmed trucking industry, Fedex and Freight shipments may be delayed

We will continue to monitor situations as we are notified and update this section accordingly. We’ll also communicate with you if your order is at all affected by any additional shipping changes. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this uncertain time.

We are currently offering Free Shipping on the majority of our items for a limited time. This offer is good for the lower 48 US located in the continental US. (all other locations including Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico will be quoted).

How will my order ship?

We will ship your order using the fastest and most reliable method. Generally our smaller, lighter electric fireplaces will ship via FedEx. Larger, heavier electric fireplace packages ship via a truck freight carrier. Ex: Estes Express, R&L Carriers, or ABF Freight.

When your order ships, we will notify you via email. Included in your email will be a tracking number for your shipment. We encourage you to track your package online or on the phone with the carrier. Most companies can provide an estimated delivery date. Be sure to contact us if anything seems unusual with the progress of the shipment.

Order status: Email info@electricfireplacesdirect.com for questions regarding order tracking or call 866.966.1122.

FedEx Shipments:

Our smaller, lighter electric fireplace products ship via FEDEX. Depending on how close you are to the shipping warehouse, your item will arrive between 2 and 5 business days after it leaves the warehouse. FedEx does not typically require a signature and will leave the package in a suitable place near your door.

FedEx Damage: Please notify us within 24 hours at damage@electricfireplacesdirect.com or call 877.430.0703.

Freight Truck Carrier Shipments:

Larger, heavier electric fireplace items or packages ship via freight carrier. As defined by the trucking industry, Home Delivery means "curbside delivery" in a residential area. You may need assistance to move the package indoors or you might unbox the shipment and carry each piece inside individually. Some carriers may be able to assist getting your delivery into a garage or carport. If this is something you are interested in, please call us to check availability in your area and to place your order. 

For Truck Freight shipments, your item will typically arrive to your local freight terminal within 7 business days of shipment. You will then be contacted by the freight carrier to schedule a residential delivery appointment. Most companies offer appointment windows (usually 2-4 hours) between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. You may also choose to contact the freight carrier directly to schedule a time. Your Shipping Confirmation Email, will have the selected Freight Company and contact information in it. 

NOTE: The most important thing to remember about truck freight is that when you sign for the delivery you are legally accepting the product as delivered in good condition. Therefore, it is extremely important that you inspect the package for any visible damage prior to signing the delivery receipt. If there is damage to the carton or the product, please write "CONTENTS DAMAGED" clearly on the delivery receipt that the driver is asking you to sign, then sign. This insures that your damage issue will be easily resolved.

Freight Carrier Damage: Please notify us within 24 hours at damage@electricfireplacesdirect.com or call 877.430.0703.
