Frequently asked questions

Does Estes Express Lines require a signature for 'Out for Delivery' LTL freight?
Yes—unless the shipper signed a Driver Release / No-Signature authorization in advance, an adult must inspect the pallet and sign the Estes Delivery Receipt.
Will the Estes driver bring the pallet inside my house or garage?
Standard Estes Residential LTL delivery is curbside with a liftgate. The driver lowers the pallet to your driveway/curb; inside threshold placement requires an upgraded White Glove service.
What should I do if my Estes freight arrives with torn shrink-wrap or a crushed box?
Write the exact number of damaged pieces on the Estes Delivery Receipt before signing, take photos immediately, and contact the merchant/Estes within 5 business days.
