Is everything really free ground freight?

Not quite everything, it just seems that way! The larger TV's, generally 42" and greater, need special handling and therefore, do not qualify. Same with some of the larger UPS units, as some weigh over 100 pounds. A general rule-of-thumb is that if it weighs 70 pounds or less, it SHOULD be free freight. It's always best to ask if you are unsure.
