Shipping of log home packages Most log home manufacturers are suppliers of log components for your log home. Some log home manufacturers offer complete log home packages with windows, doors, cabinets etc. The reality of optioning a complete package is you are paying more for shipping. You have to remember that nothing is free. Some log home manufacturers make bold statements that shipping is free, but you are paying for it some where with-in your package. Log home manufacturers are in the business to make money…not give it away. If you select a complete log home package you must be ready to accept all material when 4-5 trucks show up at your property. You must have a containment area so items do not walk away from the job site and hope that vandals do not come by and through rocks through your windows. You now have agreed to pay more for your package in the long run. If a manufacturer ships you 6 bunks of plywood cross country and you could have had a local building supply company deliver it free…where is the value. Help support your local economy. If your log home builder purchases materials locally and has a problem it can be taken care of immediately. No phone calls back to the manufacturer who gives the contractor the run-around trying to find phone numbers of who to call. If your contractor can not take action and his workers have to stop working who do you think pays for them to sit around. When the trucks are unloaded at your property you assume all liability. The log home manufacturers require that the enclosed shipping inventory list be checked and returned back to them with-in a couple of weeks after delivery. If it is not returned they will not be responsible for any items that come up missing. *note see types of packages*
