Shipping
and Packaging Options:
Slides are packaged in
various ways to accommodate particular needs. For distributors primarily,
or to accommodate an OEM's minimal requirement of a particular product.,
Houck provides packaging of 20 complete sets per carton. Houck also
provides shrink wrapped sets for distributors. If custom packaging
is required, contact Houck sales or customer service.
Houck also provides 100
bulk packaging with 100 individual members per carton. For 100 sets,
customers would receive 4 boxes with 100 members (RHC, LHC, RHD,
LHD) in each box.
For 500 Series, when
applicable, drawer members are packaged 200 per carton, cabinet
members 100 per carton.
Houck's largest and most
economical means of packaging is skid pack. Quantity per carton
varies with series and sizes; ranging from 1000 to 2000 members
per carton. Houck also provides skid pack with right and left hand
members in one box to simplify the installation process. With the
exception of skid pack, all common carrier shipments are stacked
on a pallet. Heaviest cartons are placed on bottom of pallet, weight
averaging 2500# per skid. All pallets are stretch wrapped to keep
cartons on pallet during shipment.
Houck is currently working
on a bar code system for our product labels. Customers that require
a bar code should contact Rick
Fayette with their bar code specifications.
Houck will typically
ship orders of 100 or less sets by UPS ground. Houck also ships
LTL (less than truck) for full skid quantites that are less than
a full truck load. Houck also works with our customers to use their
own trucks or carriers to backhaul orders. |
