That's an excellent and very practical question! Shipping something as bulky and heavy as a set of urban or commercial trash cans is a different ballgame compared to sending a small parcel. The cost isn't a single flat rate; it's calculated based on several key factors.
First, the dimensions and weight of the palletized shipment are the primary drivers. Carriers charge based on "dimensional weight" or the actual weight—whichever is greater. A set of heavy-duty 96-gallon wheeled carts takes up significant space, so even if they're not extremely heavy, the size alone increases the cost.
Second, the shipping distance is crucial. A delivery across town will be far less expensive than a cross-country freight shipment. Third, the delivery location matters. Shipping to a business with a loading dock (a "commercial address") is typically cheaper than to a residential curb-side ("liftgate service" often adds a fee).
Finally, the carrier and service level you choose (standard freight, expedited, etc.) will impact the final price. For accurate pricing, you'll need to provide the vendor with the shipment's pallet dimensions, total weight, ZIP codes for origin and destination, and the delivery address type. They can then provide a formal freight quote. Always request this quote before ordering, as shipping can sometimes be a substantial portion of the total project cost.
