Packaging
To protect your products during transit, they are carefully packaged inside sturdy wooden crates. This method of packaging ensures that each item is securely enclosed, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring that the doors and jambs arrive in prefect condition.

Packing Method
Knocked Down Shipping
To minimize the risk of damage during transit, doors are shipped “knocked down.” This means that the door slab and jamb pieces are shipped separately, reducing the chances of damage and ensuring that each component arrives in optimal condition.
Carrier Options
Treely™ Doors offers flexible shipping options to cater to varying needs. Orders can be shipped using our own fleet network or via direct distributors when applicable. Main manufacturing facilities are located in Fargo, ND with the ability to ship within a 500 mile radius from Fargo, this covers a footprint that runs from approximately western Montana to the Chicago metro area.
While the preference is to utilize Treely’s™ own fleet network, they also leverage LTL services like FedEx Freight for orders throughout the country.

Additional Precautions
All doors, jambs, door stop are meticulously wrapped in foam padding and shrink-wrapped or banded to minimize movement during transit. This extra layer of protection helps safeguard against any potential damage that may occur during normal movement and vibration that occurs during transport.
Also, all necessary components including hinges, weatherstrip, and sills are carefully included within the crates. Ensuring everything needed for installation arrives safely and conveniently, streamlining the process for our customers.
