Shipping & Delivery

Where do you ship?

We ship to all 50 states within the United States.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is calculated based on a flat-rate structure determined by your delivery region. To see the exact shipping cost for your order, please enter your delivery address during the checkout process.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Your total delivery time is the sum of our handling time and the carrier's transit time:

  • Order Cutoff Time: 2:00 PM (PST), Monday–Friday.
  • Handling Time: 2–3 business days (Monday–Saturday).
  • Transit Time: 7–17 business days (Monday–Saturday).
  • Estimated Total Delivery: 9–20 business days from the date of purchase.

How can I track my shipment?

Once your order is dispatched, we will send you a confirmation email containing your Freight Tracking Number and a link to the carrier’s tracking portal.

What should I expect during a Freight (LTL) Delivery?

Because our products are oversized, we use professional LTL freight carriers. Please note:

  • Appointment Required: The carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery window. A recipient must be present to sign for the items.
  • Curb-Side Service: Delivery is "curb-side" only. You are responsible for moving the items from the curb into your home or job site.
  • Inspection: You must inspect all items for damage before signing the delivery receipt.

What happens if my order arrives damaged?

If you discover damage during inspection, note it clearly on the carrier's delivery receipt and take photos immediately. Contact us at sales@fivestarsdoors.com within 48 hours so we can process a claim and a replacement for you.

What if I refuse a shipment?

Shipments refused for reasons other than documented shipping damage will be subject to return shipping fees and a 15% restocking fee.
