Why McClure Tables Picks Zip Express to Deliver Our Shuffleboard Table Legends (Sorry, LTL—You’re Outta Luck!)

Picture this: a McClure shuffleboard table rolling out of our Grand Rapids, Michigan workshop—solid Michigan maple gleaming, walnut cabinet polished to perfection, every curve a testament to our five artisans’ obsession with quality. These aren’t just tables; they’re handcrafted legends built to dominate your game room for decades. So when it’s time to send one your way, we don’t toss it onto a chaotic Less Than Truckload (LTL) truck like yesterday’s leftovers. Nope—we call up Zip Express, our shipping MVPs. Here’s why they’re the only ones we trust to deliver the McClure magic.

1. They Handle Our Hand Crafted Shuffleboard Tables Like Royalty

Our Shuffleboard tables—like the rugged Patriot or the jaw-dropping Rock-Ola Walnut Shuffleboard table—are hefty (up to 1000 lbs. of pure American muscle) and finished with love. LTL? That’s a horror show—your table rattling around with random cargo, bouncing through grimy hubs, risking scratches or a cracked leg: one false move, and that table is toast. One of the reasons we do not include free shipping on our Shuffleboard tables is they are a quality product that is not mass-produced or factory-made; we want to use the same quality of transportation for our tables. We charge shipping by zone to make it fair that a person in Ohio is not subsidized in a more expensive shipping area like the East Coast or California. The actual price you pay is just a portion of our cost. We include an estimated 10% of our sales price as a shipping cost we will absorb. Some tables, like a 22-foot shuffleboard, may cost $2500 to $3000 for us to ship to certain locations.

Zip Express? They’re the white-glove wizards. They cradle our tables with custom padding, whisk them away on dedicated trucks, and deliver them straight to you—no pit stops, no careless hands. It’s like a first-class flight from your shuffleboard, Michigan, to your door, arriving ready to dazzle.

2. Speed That’ll Make Your Head Spin

We pour weeks—sometimes months—into crafting your perfect table. A 22-foot Tournament beast? Hand-tuned to perfection. So when it’s done, you’re itching to slide those pucks. LTL drags its feet—5-10 days of terminal limbo, maybe more if the truck’s playing freight Tetris. That’s a buzzkill.

Zip Express is lightning in a bottle. They zip our tables to you in 1-3 days without detours. Hosting a game night? Opening a bar? They’ll hustle to make it happen—LTL’s snail pace can’t touch that kind of hustle.

3. Built for Our Big, Bold Beauties

A McClure table isn’t shy—12 feet of glory, 30 inches wide, 500+ lbs. of hardwood swagger. LTL tries to cram these giants onto tiny pallets, then slaps on fees when they don’t fit. Oversized? Overpriced! Our custom 14-foot Liberty deserves better than that awkward shuffle.

Zip Express laughs at “too big.” Their trucks are ready for the heavy hitters—9-footers to 22-foot titans, crated or not. No pallet nonsense, no extra charges—just a smooth ride for our bold designs, delivered like their champs.

4. Keeping Our All-American Soul Intact

We’re 100% Made in the USA—Michigan hardwoods, with no particleboard or overseas shortcuts. LTL’s messy web of humid warehouses and rough transfers? That’s a gamble we won’t take. A warped playfield or chipped cabinet isn’t just damage—it’s an insult to our Grand Rapids grit.

Zip Express gets our vibe. Climate control? Check. Direct delivery? You bet. They shield our tables from the elements and the road, ensuring that the all-American soul lands at your place as pure as it left ours.

5. They’re Our Wingmen, Not a Faceless Number

Every McClure table is personal—a custom stain here, a family crest there. LTL treats it like a shipping barcode, lost in a maze of call center purgatory. Zip Express? They’re our wingmen. Real-time updates, a human on the line, even setup tips if you need ‘em. It’s the kind of teammate our family-run crew can count on.

Zip Express: The McClure Way to Play

LTL’s fine for widgets, but a McClure shuffleboard table—born from Michigan hands and headed for epic showdowns—demands the best. Zip Express brings it:

• Rockstar handling for our artisanal gems.
• Blazing speed to kick off your game nights.
• Big-league hauling for our oversized icons.
• American-made mojo from start to finish.
