The map above shows days-in-transit via FedEx Ground, for items shipped
directly
from Pleasant Hill Grain in Aurora, Nebraska. Please read the following important notes. |
| 1.) |
The "day count" begins the day after the package is shipped-out. Examples: FedEx says a package shipped on Monday will arrive in South Carolina or Washington State or Pennsylvania on Thursday. Most items ordered by 1:00 p.m. Central Time ship-out the same day, and if they don't, then they ship-out the following day.
SPECIAL NOTE: FedEx delivers ground-shipped packages to business addresses Monday-Friday, and they deliver to residential addresses Tuesday-Saturday. So if the map above indicates that delivery would be made to your residential address on a Monday, the package actually will be scheduled to arrive the next day, on Tuesday. Because FedEx's shipping is at least 1 day faster than the service of competing carriers to many areas, this results in equal-or-better service for our customers, with the added benefit of Saturday delivery service to residences. If your circumstances allow you to have your items shipped to a business address rather than to a residence, FedEx will then deliver it on a Monday if that's the day indicated on the map, above. (Note that delivery to a residence where a home-business is conducted, is classified by carriers as a residential delivery.) |

Most orders placed online are shipped via FedEx Ground shipping, except that some small items are shipped by US Mail (read more.) To pay for faster premium shipping service OR to request shipment by U.S. Mail, call 800-321-1073 to order (phone hours here.) |

| 3.) |
Pleasant Hill Grain stocks over 97% of what we sell, but a few products are shipped directly from manufacturers' facilities. Products not shipped from Nebraska include the Country Living Grain Mill which is shipped from WA State and takes about 5 days to the east coast, and the Hearthkit oven insert which ships from Ohio and takes 5 days to the west coast. Some commercial grain mills are drop-shipped; call or e-mail for transit times. Various manufacturers use shipping services different from those used by Pleasant Hill Grain for stocked items. |

| 4.) |
This transit-time map does not apply to items shipped by truck freight. |
|
| 5.) |
Pleasant Hill Grain, by default, does NOT require a signature for packages delivered by FedEx Ground service. If you want a signature to be required for delivery, the "Comments" field in the shopping cart is the place to request that. |
|
| 6.) |
The delivery days quoted in the table above are exclusively the commitment of FedEx. On rare occasion a shipment can be delayed by a day or more, and after the shipment has left our premises, Pleasant Hill Grain cannot physically control it; however, FedEx has proven to meet their delivery schedule very reliably and consistently. For orders that ship by FedEx, a tracking number will be e-mailed directly from FedEx to you on the evening of the day the item ships-out. |
