FAQ's Packaging & Shipping
   
Q:  How do you package and ship orders?
A:  Northern Contours will follow customer specific packaging parameters where required. If specific packaging specifications do not exist, Northern Contours can use any of its standard packaging options. Below is a list of the standard packaging and shipping options Northern Contours offers:
  1. Down stacking - We down stack the doors and drawers directly onto the pallet with our thin white foam in between each piece. Then, the pallet is wrapped in corrugated cardboard, shrink wrapped and strapped to the pallet and shipped LTL carrier.
     
  2. Crate boxed - Doors and drawers are placed directly into a box with foam in between each piece. The doors can also be bundle wrapped and set into the box. A lid is put on top and the crate box is strapped to the pallet and shipped LTL carrier.

  3. Bundlewrap - Doors and drawers are bundled 3 to 4 at a time with foam in between each piece and then put on a pallet or in a crate box. Then the bundles are wrapped in cardboard and corners and strapped to a pallet and shipped LTL carrier.

  4. Boxed/Downstacked - Doors and drawers are boxed with 3 to 6 pieces in each box, depending on their size. Then, the boxes are stacked and strapped on a pallet to ship LTL carrier. Each box is labeled with the customer name and PO number.

  5. UPS / Fed-Ex Ground - Doors and drawers are boxed 2 to 6 pieces depending on size and shipped thru either UPS OR Fed-Ex ground. Each box is labeled with customer name and PO number.
