Freight costs
Other terms which may be used are:
- 'ex yard' or 'ex works' which is the cost at point of purchase
- 'cartage' which is the cost for cartage of the goods. This is generally included in the cost but it may sometimes be an added cost so check if you are unsure.
Check how many deliveries have been allowed for in the quote. If you order a whole house lot then you do not want your lockup or fixing materials arriving when the frame is delivered. This creates opportunity for theft, deterioration of quality of goods as well as storage problems.
