Best Buy Business Shipping and Delivery

Shipping options and policies.

Best Buy Business makes every effort to ensure that your order is processed and shipped as quickly as possible. While the vast majority of orders arrive on schedule, please be aware that delivery may be impacted by product type and availability; warehouse locations; weather conditions; order hold status due to credit verification; or restricted, invalid or remote addresses.

All shipping items are subject to product availability. Once an item is in stock, you will be notified by email that the order has shipped by the method selected at time of purchase. Partial in-stock orders may ship separately. Check with your Account Manager to confirm product availability at time of purchase. If you believe your shipment is lost, contact your Account Manager within 30 days of shipping notification.

APO/FPO delivery.

APO/FPO delivery is required for orders being sent to a U.S. Army Post Office, U.S. Air Force location or Fleet Post Office destination abroad. APO/FPO addresses are extensions of the U.S. Postal Service for members of the armed forces stationed abroad. A valid APO/FPO state and zip code combination must be entered in the Ship To address. Special shipping restrictions may apply. For more information, please visit the Military Postal Service Agency online at http://hqdainet.army.mil/mpsa/.

Special delivery.

Special delivery is required for items that are oversized or overweight. These items will be shipped by truck and will be considered outside delivery service unless you specify additional needs as follows. All forms of special delivery require a loading dock or a lift gate. If you do not have a loading dock at your facility, then lift gate service is mandatory and will ensure that a truck with a lift gate capable of safely lowering your purchase to the ground is used for your delivery. Be sure to select lift gate if you do not have a loading dock. Inside building delivery may be added to your special delivery, in which case the driver will deliver the product inside your destination (home or office). Both lift gate and inside delivery require separate charges in addition to the special delivery charge. The trucking company will contact you in advance, and delivery will typically take 7-10 business days. The buyer or buyer’s representative must be present at time of delivery to sign for the delivery.

Eligible for special delivery indicates that the quantity of a given item on your order qualifies for but does not require special delivery. For items that are eligible, the customer may compare estimated shipping charges from various levels of service on the payment and shipping screen and choose a preferred method.

Please review the information outlined below to determine the exact type of special delivery you require:

  • Outside delivery: The delivery team removes your item from the truck and leaves it nearby to complete the delivery. You are responsible for bringing the item inside the delivery location. If you would like your package to be brought into your delivery location, make sure you select the inside delivery option from the list of shipment options on the purchase page.
  • Inside delivery: The delivery team removes your item from the truck and brings it inside your building. Because inside delivery requires extra time for the delivery team, an additional charge is required for this option.
  • Loading dock: Your building is equipped with a loading dock. The delivery truck backs up to the loading dock and places your item onto the dock. If your delivery location is not equipped with a loading dock, make sure to select the lift gate delivery option from the list of shipment options on the purchase page.
  • Lift gate: No loading dock is present at the delivery location. The delivery truck must be equipped with a lift gate to remove your item. Because the truck must be equipped with a lift gate, an additional charge is required for this option.

To see how the different special delivery options work in conjunction, please read the following information.

  • Loading dock + outside delivery: Your building is equipped with a loading dock; the delivery truck will back up to the loading dock and place your item onto the dock. You or your building’s warehouse team is responsible for bringing the item inside the delivery location. This is the least expensive combination but should only be selected for delivery locations with a loading dock.
  • Loading dock + inside delivery: Your building is equipped with a loading dock. The delivery truck backs up to the loading dock and places your item onto the dock. The delivery team then brings your item inside your building. This combination only requires an extra charge for the inside delivery option and should be used for delivery locations with a loading dock only.
  • Lift gate + outside delivery: No loading dock is present at your building. The delivery truck must be equipped with a lift gate to remove your item. The delivery team takes the item off the lift gate and leaves it nearby to complete the delivery. This combination only requires an extra charge for the lift gate option and should be used for delivery locations without a loading dock.
  • Lift gate + inside delivery: No loading dock is present at your building. The delivery truck must be equipped with a lift gate to remove your item. Once taken off the truck, the delivery team then brings your item inside your building. This combination is the most expensive because it requires extra charges for the lift gate option and the inside delivery option. It should be selected for delivery locations without a loading dock that require the delivery team to bring the item inside the delivery location.

White glove delivery.

White glove delivery is required for oversized and/or extremely fragile items that do not qualify for standard delivery. These items will be delivered inside the customer location specified. The items will be unpacked, and the delivery team will remove the packaging material. The buyer or buyer’s representative must be present at time of delivery to inspect and sign for the delivery.

Gift Card delivery.

You should receive your Gift Card separately in the mail 4-7 days after your online order is confirmed. Gift Cards will be shipped by U.S. Postal Service unless their value exceeds $200, in which case, for tracking purposes they will be shipped by United Parcel Service.

Estimated shipping charges.

In some cases, it is not possible to determine exact shipping charges at the time of checkout. These items will be temporarily marked with an estimated shipping charge designed to be as close to the actual cost as possible. After your order has been processed, we will confirm the shipping charges and notify you if there is any change from the estimated charge. Your transaction will not be processed until you have confirmed that the new shipping charges are acceptable.

Shipping location restrictions.

Best Buy Business currently offers a variety of shipping options to service most locations within the U.S. Please note that all options may not available in every area.

We regret that we are currently unable to ship to P.O. boxes.
