If you receive a damaged shipment from UPS and the damage is obvious make a note when signing for the shipment and inspect the merchandise for damage. If damage occurs save all packaging materials and contact us ASAP!

KRUEGER POTTERY SUPPLY DELIVERY
dulcemielevents has two trucks to make local deliveries. Our pickup truck can hold up to 1000lbs and our Isuzu NPR can hold up to 5000lbs. We deliver within a 30 mile radius of our store in either of these trucks up to their maximum capacities for $40. Delivery made by dulcemielevents is curbside or to a loading dock or driveway, conditions permitting.
For deliveries outside the base delivery radius the fees are as follows:
31-45 miles - $55
46 - 60 miles - $75
61 - 85 miles - $110
86 - 100 miles -$149
Typically we do not make deliveries in our trucks to customers that are over 100 miles away but we do sometimes make exceptions to that policy on a case by case basis. Please contact us for more information. 

- Our drivers will NOT take products up or downstairs (Kilns excluded)

- Our drivers will make deliveries inside your building as long as it does not require them to traverse stairs. The fee for inside delivery is $30/Ton with a minimum of $15 per delivery on top of our standard delivery rates.

dulcemielevents is able to ship larger orders on pallets by truck using a third party provider. Add items to your cart and our site will calculate your pallet rates automatically. We have a flat pallet rate for deliveries made in Missouri and Illinois for up to 2,500 pounds.
