Requirements for Free Outbound and Return Freight:

To qualify for Free Outbound & Return UPS Ground shipping, the following requirements must be met:

  • Your business must be located in the continental US.
  • Orders must not require delivery on Monday or Tuesday. (Freight for orders required to be in your store by Mon/Tuesday are the accounts responsibility)
  • Accounts that are 1, 2, or 3 transit days away from Little Rock, AR must order a minimum of $200 in rental merchandise by Sunday before the week of use.
  • Accounts that are 4, 5, or 6 transit days away from Little Rock, AR must order a minimum of $200 in rental merchandise by Wednesday before the week of use.
  • Orders placed after midnight on Wednesday, but by Saturday before the week of use will be charged freight if they cannot be consolidated into an existing UPS Ground shipment.

Requirements for Free Freight & Wednesday Delivery

  • Accounts must request Wednesday delivery. Accounts requesting Wednesday delivery and Free Freight must place all applicable orders 10 days before the Wednesday of delivery (which is the Monday before the week of use), and they must also order a minimum of $200 in rental merchandise.
  • Note: If additional orders are placed for Wednesday, after 10 days before delivery, we will attempt to consolidate them with the original orders, to decrease your freight cost responsibility. If that is not possible, the account will be responsible for the separate freight required for Wednesday delivery. Wednesday delivery may not be available in Peak Season.
  • Accounts that meet these requirements will receive Free Outbound Freight and UPS Return Service Labels. As a courtesy, accounts that do not meet the $200 minimum will receive a prepaid UPS RS Label which will be billed to them to expedite return shipping, unless otherwise requested.
