WhiteSandCo is headquartered in Southeastern Michigan with aggregate locations throughout the United States. The total delivered cost of sand includes shipping and the cost of sand. Shipping quite often is the most expensive item of the total cost to you. Keep in mind the minimum order we sell is a full truckload which is 24 tons or approximately 18 yards. 24 tons is the most sand one truck can ship. The average volleyball court takes a minimum of 100 yards.
Please take the time to mapquest the distance of your location to our nearest location. If your budget is close to the total cost calculated using our estimation method than give us a call, we will be glad to give you an exact quote. The following shipping and sand quotes are based on a one truck 24 ton order. To obtain mileage calculations for shipping estimates please visit our friends at www.mapquest.com, select the "Directions" option, then use the zip code of our nearest location and the zip code of your location to find the total mileage. After you have determined the total mileage than multiply the mileage by the current dollar amount per mile to obtain an approximate shipping cost. Remember this estimate is for the cost of shipping for one truck load (24 tons or 18 yards) and does not include the price of the sand. To obtain the total price of shipping and sand, read the following instructions and examples:
Current price per mile for shipping one truck load as of 9-10-09: $2.25.
Use mapquest to find the total shipping miles. Multiply mileage by $2.25 for the total shipping cost of one truck load. Then, add the price of one truck of sand from that location (listed below), to the shipping total for the total cost of sand delivered.
Example 1: One truckload of sand from our 95131 San Jose location to a location in San Francisco. Total miles = 47. Price of shipping = 47 x $2.25 = $105.75. Price of 24 tons of sand from our San Jose location is $1800. Total price of shipping + sand = $105.75 (shipping) + $1800.00 (sand) = $1905.75 (total)
Example 2: One truckload of sand from our 49443 West Michigan location to a location in Indianapolis. Total miles = 260. Price for shipping = 260 x $2.25 = $585. Price of 24 tons of sand from our West Michigan location is $864. Total price of shipping + sand = $585 (shipping) + $864 (sand) = $1449 (total). In this example the shipping was a considerable part of the total price! For many locations shipping will be more than the price of sand itself, especially for customers who want white sand from our Florida location and live up north or out west.
