Shipping and Order FAQs for Compact Equipment


When Will My Order Ship?

If all items in your order are marked “In Stock,” we aim to process and ship your order within 2–12 business days (Monday–Friday).

Transit time varies depending on:

  • Your location

  • Weather conditions

  • Carrier schedules

If your order includes backordered items, we will source them from our vendor and ship your complete order as soon as possible.

If you would prefer to receive available items sooner or would like an update on backordered products, please contact us.


How Will My Order Ship?

We use a variety of shipping carriers. Orders may ship:

  • From our warehouse

  • Directly from the manufacturer (drop-shipped)

While we cannot guarantee a specific carrier:

  • Orders under 150 lbs typically ship via UPS or USPS (no signature required).

  • Orders over 150 lbs ship via LTL freight carriers such as R&L Carriers or Southeastern Freight.

Once your order ships, tracking details will be emailed to you. Please allow time for tracking updates to appear on the carrier’s website.


Receiving an LTL Freight Shipment

Orders over 150 lbs ship via LTL freight and require a signature.

  • Delivery is curbside only (to your driveway or curb).

  • The carrier will contact you to schedule delivery.

  • You must inspect the shipment upon arrival.

If you notice:

  • Visible damage

  • Hidden damage

  • Missing items

Refuse the shipment and clearly note the issue with the driver before signing.

Contact Compact Equipment immediately if you refuse delivery so we can assist you.


Processing Time vs. Transit Time

Processing Time:
Time required to verify payment and prepare your order (2–12 business days).

Transit Time:
Time it takes the carrier to deliver once the order ships.

Transit times vary due to:

  • Location

  • Weather

  • Carrier availability

We cannot guarantee exact delivery dates.


What Is a Lift-Gate?

A lift-gate is a hydraulic platform that lowers heavy freight from the truck to the ground.

We recommend requesting a lift-gate if:

  • You are receiving a residential delivery

  • You do not have equipment to unload heavy items

Some items may be too large for lift-gate service and may require a forklift. This will be noted on the product page.


Shipping to PO Boxes or APO/FPO

We do not ship to:

  • PO Boxes

  • APO/FPO military addresses


Expedited Shipping

Expedited shipping is not available at checkout but may be arranged by contacting us directly.

Important:

  • Additional charges apply

  • Expedited shipping affects transit time only

  • Processing time (2–12 business days) still applies


Item Stock Status

We strive to keep stock information accurate, but availability is not guaranteed.

If we cannot fulfill your order, we will notify you within 5 business days.

You may:

  • Keep the order open

  • Cancel the order

Backordered items may be shipped directly from the vendor.


Packaging and Repacking

To ensure safe delivery, our team may:

  • Open and repackage items

  • Add protective materials

  • Combine parts

If your package appears opened or repackaged, please inspect all contents carefully.

Some items may ship without original packaging due to bulk vendor shipments. All products are brand new and covered by the manufacturer’s warranty unless otherwise stated.
