Shipping Policy

Shipping Costs

We also offer local pick up at our shop. If this is something you are interested in, please let us know at the time of placing the order.

All shipping locations must be commercial with both a loading dock and forklift. If the location we are shipping has neither or has limited access, please contact us to provide you with a delivery fee estimate.

    Shipping Arrangements by Customer


    If you would like to use your own freight carrier, please let us know at the time of purchase. We are not allowed to access your personal account due to privacy policies. We can instead provide you with the details needed for you to create the shipping labels with the carrier, then you can forward the labels to us.

    Please note we are not responsible for any damages or loss of freight during transit as you are using your own carrier. If there are any damages or loses, you will need to make a claim directly with your freight carrier. We cannot recover or compensate for any damages with this shipping method.

          Lead Time


          All our sinks are finished to order. After your order is in the fabrication process, a representative will send an email confirming your lead time. Please note that lead time varies on quantity of sinks, the kind of sink we are fabricating, and the volume of current orders.

          All lead times are an estimation and are NOT guaranteed. Best Sheet Metal is not liable for any order shipped past the estimated ship date.


          Quick lead time overview:


          • Orders for smaller hand sinks are usually shipped within 5-7 business days of the purchase date via UPS Ground.
          • Orders for the larger, 84” and above, wash up multi-station sinks are shipped within 9-18 business days after receiving cleared payment.
          • Orders with more than 1 sink require an additional handling time of 3 business days or more per sink
          • Lead times mentioned are not guaranteed.

            Transit Time

            Transit time is the time (usually business days) required to deliver (by freight carrier) an order to the receiving party. Transit times are NOT included with the lead time.

            Transit times are separate from lead times. Transit times are estimated and not guaranteed. Best Sheet Metal is not responsible if the freight company changed the estimated arrival date. Transit times vary from state to state. All orders are shipped from California.

            There is only 30 Minutes allowed at time of delivery.
