Shipping Made Simple
Fountainful provides free standard shipping in the Lower 48 U.S. thanks to our partnership with 20+ freight carriers. Residents of Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada: please contact us for available options.
Delivery Options at Checkout
Standard Shipping – Free
- Delivered on a pallet via LTL freight truck (similar to large furniture).
- Placed near the bottom of your driveway, wherever you direct.
- Signature by someone over 18 is almost always required.
- Does not include setup, assembly, or disposal of packaging.
UPS Insured / USPS Priority – Free
- Automatically selected for small/light items delivered in a parcel box by UPS or USPS.
- When ordered with a palletized item, the design team may include it on the pallet if possible so both arrive together.
Upgrade: Threshold / Inside Property – Rates Provided at Checkout
- Same as Standard Shipping, except the carrier will cross your property line (threshold) and lower the pallet outside the first dry area (e.g., garage, covered porch).
- Sometimes referred to as "Top of Driveway."
- Does not include setup, assembly, or disposal of packaging.

Hard-to-Reach Addresses (Pallet Shipments)
