Why Shipping Time Matters Understanding these transit times allows you to:

  • Schedule Labor: Know exactly when your materials will arrive so you can schedule your installation or veneering process without unexpected downtime.
  • Manage Client Expectations: Provide realistic completion dates for your clients or customers.
  • Prevent Rushing: Avoid paying extra for expedited shipping by knowing how long standard ground freight takes.

Planning for Success While these are average times for standard ground shipping, remember that freight services operate on business days (Monday-Friday) and do not include the day of pickup or weekends. Always allow a little extra time for unforeseen circumstances.

At Oakwood Veneer, we focus on efficiency to get your premium veneer in your hands as quickly as possible. By having a clear understanding of the transit time to your area, you can ensure your project runs smoothly from start to finish.
