Old World now offers free shipping on any full retail order under 600lbs.  This offer only applies to the lower 48 U.S. states.  This saves you up to $90 on UPS items and up to $350 on freight items.  With free shipping chances are our prices are lower than any dealer near you.  We do require a $35 crate fee for UPS items and a $65 crate fee for freight items.  $75 crate fees can be added for vertical packaging on tops wider than 36”.  We ship our tops fully crated for your protection not just wrapped in cardboard. Whether your top is shipped across state, across a few states, or shipped clear across country, freight handlers will beat your package up. We want you to feel confident that our packaging will keep your purchase safe. Inside our 2x4 and plywood crates is bubble wrap, cardboard, waxed paper and other forms of protection for your specific purchase. We also ship finished with mineral oil or poly lacquer to avoid exposure to climate changes.  We have been shipping countertops cross country for many years and know that if they are not crated they WILL arrive broken or damaged.  It is for this reason that we build an extra strong crate and must charge a nominal fee for it.

Many people who have purchased butcher block before have switched to our company not only for the quality but because we go the extra mile to fully crate each top that goes out instead of shipping it in cardboard like our competitors.  This makes our freight damage less than 1%.  Larger tops still risk damage because the carriers can be rough but we do everything we can to make sure it gets there in one piece.

The customer must be responsible for getting the freight off the freight truck and noting any potential damage before signing.  We will handle any freight claims if the customer does their part rather than leave it in the customer's hands as do our competitors.  WARNING:  If you neglect to inspect the item and just sign the bill of lading you have signed for it as is and Old World Butcher Blocks will not be responsible for fixing or replacing the top.
