If you’re considering ordering an outdoor bench from our factory, one of the most practical questions is: How long will it take to reach the Midwest? The answer depends on several factors, but here’s a clear breakdown based on our standard logistics.
Typically, shipping from our factory to the Midwest takes between 5 and 10 business days for ground freight. We ship most benches via LTL (less-than-truckload) carriers, which consolidate multiple orders for efficiency. The Midwest region—including states like Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri—is well-connected to our distribution network, so transit times are consistent. For example, shipments to Chicago or Indianapolis often arrive within 5–7 business days, while more remote areas like northern Minnesota or western Nebraska might take the full 10 days.
However, note that this timeframe applies after your order is processed and the bench is built. Since many of our benches are made-to-order, production takes an additional 3–5 business days before shipping begins. So, from order placement to your doorstep, expect a total of 8–15 business days. If you need it faster, we offer expedited shipping for an extra fee, which can cut transit down to 3–5 business days—just contact our sales team for a quote before ordering.
Weather and holidays can also add a day or two, especially in winter when snowstorms may slow truck deliveries across the upper Midwest. We recommend ordering early if you have a specific event or season in mind, like spring patio setup or fall gatherings. Finally, once your bench ships, we’ll provide a tracking number so you can monitor its progress in real time from our factory to your Midwest address.
In short, you can reliably plan for 5–10 business days of shipping time to the Midwest, plus 3–5 days for production. For urgent needs, expedited options exist. If you have a specific ZIP code, feel free to reach out for a personalized estimate. We aim to balance speed with the craftsmanship that makes our benches last for years.
