To order LTL (less than truckload) quantities, Christmas
tree buyers in Southern California should use the
L.A. Wholesale Christmas Trees order form on the California
prices page for
Christmas trees picked up in Los Angeles at our San Fernando
Valley yard
Christmas tree buyers
purchasing trees at the farm in Oregon must provide their
own trucks.
Freight
charges to ship wholesale Christmas trees from Oregon are
a big component of the overall costs of operating a retail
Christmas tree lot. Securing reliable freight arrangements
is essential in a seasonal shipping industry like Christmas
trees which routinely faces extraordinary last minute swings
in the cost and availability of commercial trucks.
Smaller tree lots located in the
western US that do not need full semi-truck loads are encouraged
to explore the option of using a large Penske, Budget or U-Haul
rental truck which hold about 200 trees to pick the trees
up themselves at the farm. The farm is located near Eugene,
Oregon, so for do-it-yourself types this can work out for
distances under 1000 miles. And if you are adventurous enough
to try it, you will get a scenic treat when you come to pick
up your trees at our enviromentally
certified Oregon Christmas tree farm in the Cascade Mountains
along the banks of the scenic McKenzie River. Well even
make special arrangements for a complimentary night at nice
local bed and breakfast lodge the night before your truck
is loaded.
