📅 Plan Backward From Need-By Date

Opening week, festival weekend, or a failed compressor — the calendar drives the order. Review shipping & payment then place the order with receiving coverage booked.

🚚 Free Standard Shipping

Many commercial ice machines ship free standard with tracking. Build buffer days for freight realities and staff receiving windows.

⚡ Express When Service Cannot Wait

Express overnight options exist when downtime costs more than freight. Decide with your GM, not in panic at midnight.

📍 Delivery Day UX

Clear the path, protect floors, photograph packaging on arrival. A calm receiving process is part of professional operations.
