You’ve decided to embark on your yurt journey and purchase a Pacific Yurt. Congratulations! Before you can start building your yurt and customizing it, you’ll need to decide whether you’ll be shipping or picking up your new yurt. 

How to Ship Your Pacific Yurt

We’ll be happy to provide a shipping estimate to your location based on which size yurt and features you are considering. Packing and crafting fees apply for both domestic and international shipping with an additional charge for the Glass Window System. 

Keep in mind that while Pacific Yurts will schedule the shipment of your yurt to the specified delivery address, you will be the party contracting with the freight company for the delivery of your yurt. This allows our customers to take advantage of our discounted freight rates. We will provide you with tracking contact information for the freight carrier after the yurt leaves our facility and all you have to do is pay the freight charges directly to the freight carrier at the time of delivery.

How to Pick Up Your Pacific Yurt in Cottage Grove, Oregon

Some of our customers choose to save on packing, crafting, and shipping fees and pick up their uncrated yurt at our facility in Cottage Grove, Oregon. The hours for pick-up are 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Pacific, Monday through Friday. 

We provide the minimum load-out requirements for safely transporting your yurt below, but as the combination of features chosen will dictate the final weight and dimensions of the components, it’s important to speak to our shipping clerk about the specific load-out requirements for your order. For instance, if your order includes Glass Window Systems, additional space would be required.

Yurt Pick-Up / Load-Out Requirements

Depending on the size of the yurt you choose, there are different load-out requirements for transporting your yurt safely. If using a truck or trailer, you’ll need to have tie-down hooks to secure your load properly. Take a look at our pick-up and load-out requirements below, or download them for easy reference.
