Shipping & Lead Time

Products ship from our facilities or domestic fabrication partners. Shipping method and cost are based on product size, weight, destination, and delivery requirements.

Smaller items ship via standard ground carriers. Larger fire pits, fire tables, fire and water features, and custom fabrications ship crated by freight. Freight deliveries are curbside with liftgate service and require a scheduled delivery appointment. Placement, uncrating, and installation are not included.

Shipping charges are calculated at checkout or quoted separately for larger or custom orders. Customers are responsible for ensuring adequate site access and must inspect all shipments upon delivery. Any visible damage must be noted on the carrier paperwork before signing.

Most products are made to order. Lead times vary by product, finish, burner system, and production schedule and are provided as estimates only. Transit time begins once the order ships and is dependent on the carrier and destination. Modofire is not responsible for delays caused by carriers, weather, or site access issues.

We recommend scheduling installation only after shipment confirmation is received.
