Delivery, Installation, & Shipping

All of our doors are hand crafted in our North Kansas City shop so there is some wait time. Our goal is quality craftsmanship which generally takes 6 – 8 weeks for production time. Freight shipping can take 2-5 business days. If you need your door quickly please ask about our expedite fee.

This is typically a job that is referred out to a contractor. Our expertise remains in the door manufacturing and installation business.

Your door(s) and hardware will arrive in a wooden crate that is not waterproof and is not intended to be left outside for any length of time.

If the wooden crate is in bad shape when it arrives and there is good reason to suspect damage, please REFUSE it (and they will take it back to the terminal) or at the very least make sure the driver notates the damage directly on the delivery receipt. Walston Door Co. will need a copy/picture of the delivery receipt if we need to file a claim and you must also must notify us immediately if there is damage. If it is damaged in any way it must be inspected by a freight representative before it can be moved from the original drop off spot or else they will claim you can't prove that it didn't get damaged while you were moving it inside your home. Freight companies have very strict policies about claims so it is best to open the crate and inspect it completely before the driver leaves your property.

Yes, you must be home to sign and accept a delivery from Walston Door Company or through the freight shipping carrier. If you are not there at the scheduled delivery time or if you are late, the freight shipping carrier will charge a wait fee that you will be responsible for paying.

No, please keep in mind that LTL deliveries are different than small package and they are only responsible for lowering the gate lift to your driveway. They are not responsible for helping you carry the crate into your home so we highly recommend having help available as it will be a couple hundred pounds.
