Serving Illinois

How delivery actually works here

We run this region regularly but not weekly. Orders that can wait for a scheduled run ship considerably cheaper than ones that need a dedicated truck, and we will always tell you which you are being quoted.

5–8 business days to pickup, quoted firm on your written quote.

Buyback
We buy used totes in Illinois as well as selling them. Loads of twenty or more are worth a dedicated run almost anywhere; smaller lots work best combined with a delivery.
Collection
You are always welcome to collect at Livonia during yard hours — for small quantities it is usually the cheapest option by a wide margin.

What Illinois buys from us

  • washed technical totes for blending and decanting, with gaskets matched to the product
  • dedicated totes per product, washed between campaigns rather than between fills
  • liquid fertilizer and micronutrient storage with camlock outlets
  • gravity-fed irrigation heads on stands, and livestock waterers with float valves

Illinois questions

What customers here ask first

Do you actually deliver to Illinois?
Yes. A mix of our own trucks on scheduled runs and vetted partner carriers. We run this region regularly but not weekly. Orders that can wait for a scheduled run ship considerably cheaper than ones that need a dedicated truck, and we will always tell you which you are being quoted. If your order is below the sensible minimum we will say so and suggest combining it or collecting, rather than quoting you freight that costs more than the totes.
Will you buy used totes in Illinois?
Regularly. Send a count, the last contents and your postal code and you will have a per-unit number within a business day. Loads of twenty or more justify a dedicated run almost anywhere; smaller lots are best timed to ride an existing lane.
How is freight quoted?
By the actual lane, not by a classification table. Empty totes are very low density freight, which is why volume changes the per-unit cost so dramatically. Twenty units often ships for not much more than eight.
What about returns if something is wrong?
Five business days from delivery to raise a discrepancy against the written grade, and return freight is ours if the unit did not match it. That applies in every state we ship to.
Can we visit the yard?
Yes, and customers from much further than Illinois do. Walk-ins are welcome during yard hours at 11966 Brookfield St, Livonia, MI 48150; bring a tape measure and closed-toe boots.
