Yes, LTL freight shipments can often be more expensive than standard parcel shipments. The costs are influenced by several factors including the weight and dimensions of the shipment, the distance it needs to be transported, and any additional services that may be required such as liftgate service, residential delivery, or inside delivery.
LTL freight is designed for the transportation of goods that are too large or heavy for traditional parcel services but do not fill up an entire truckload. While sharing the truck with other shipments can reduce costs, the specialized handling, equipment, and regulations associated with LTL freight can contribute to higher prices compared to standard shipping methods.
It's always advisable for customers interested in purchasing items that require LTL freight shipping to contact our sales team for a detailed quote to understand the associated costs fully.
