Should I pay For A Liftgate?
Simple Answer: Yes, if your item(s) is large and being delivered to a location without a loading dock or pallet jack you absolutely must pay the lift gate fee. Otherwise the delivery may be delayed and extraneous fees may be added before you can take possession of your item(s). If your item is large enough to require a lift gate or fork lift to unload it from the truck you will see a 'liftgate option' by the checkout page.

Customer support was very helpful in helping me choose the right log splitter for my needs
We’ve had this tool for quite a while now and use it heavily for processing firewood—our primary source of heat. It’s much more powerful than you’d expect. Easy to operate, built tough, and strong enough to handle hardwoods like oak. We’ve split 16” rounds without a problem. If it ever gets stuck, just reverse and try again—it’s back in action quickly.
Our only minor gripe is the height; it could use longer legs. As older folks, bending over repeatedly can be tough. But placing it on a couple of pallets solved that issue for us.
