Key Facts to Know
Before placing your order, please review these important details to ensure your glass order is processed and shipped correctly:
- Sheet Sizes Vary: Glass dimensions can differ between manufacturers and even across production runs from the same source. Stock and cut sizes may have minor variances in measurement. If precise sizing is required, special cut charges may apply — please contact your account manager for assistance.
Ordering & Shipping Options
Full Sheets
Full-sized sheets must ship via motor freight (truck) or may be picked up at our warehouse. Limited exceptions apply (i.e, dichroic glass).
Cut Sheets
Many sheets can be cut to smaller sizes for parcel shipments via UPS or FedEx. Multiple box sizes are available to keep shipping safe and efficient (see Maximize Your Glass Box below).
Half Sheets
Many glass styles can be ordered as half sheets when available. Simply select ".5" under quantity when available. A cutting charge will be automatically added when required.
- Price Confirmation: Prices are based on standard sheet sizes. Minor variations may occur, and final charges reflect the actual glass amount shipped.
- Breakage Policy: Glass is fragile. Please review our Terms and Conditions. If you have any questions, Contact us — we’re happy to help.
Maximize Your Glass Box
When your order doesn’t require a crated freight shipment, D&L offers several box options for smaller quantities of glass. We recommend filling your box to maximize shipping value. Additional boxing and cutting charges apply and will automatically appear on your final invoice (they do not display in the shopping cart at checkout).
- You may mix glass from multiple manufacturers in the same box (except DI Boxes).
- Glass boxes are for glass only — tools ship separately.
- All glass boxes can ship via UPS or FedEx.
