Frequently Asked Questions​
When will my order be delivered?
Your order will typically be delivered in 5 to 7 business days. In the case of a back order, we will notify you within 5 business days. Contact customer service on all time sensitive deliveries to check inventory levels.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping costs are calculated at the time of purchase and determined by product weight and quantity. Heavy and bulky items require special attention and must be shipped separately. For these items, a standard rate will be charged. Please note that orders shipped to Hawaii and Alaska may incur additional shipping charges.
​
What is Title 24?
Title 24 California Building Standards Code is a broad set of requirements for “energy conservation, green design, construction and maintenance, fire and life safety, and accessibility" that apply to the “structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems” in a building. Title 24 was published by the California Building Standards Commission and applies to all buildings in California, not just state-owned buildings.
