HOW DO I GET IT?

 A) Pick it up You can pick up your shelter at one of our warehouses located in Jackson, MS, or Nixa, Springfield, just as many clients and contractors do.  You will need to bring a flatbed truck or a suitable trailer and a truck to haul it; you or your contractor can install it following Torshel’s guidelines.

B) Delivery and installation service For an extra and affordable fee, we can bring this shelter and professionally install it at your current house or new construction.  We send out our team of installers to the following states: Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. Ask your family, neighbors, and friends, in case they would like to acquire a safe room also.  We can discuss a special discount depending on the size of the shelters and the distance from each other.  Contact us for delivery and a professional installation quote.

C) Shipping For DIY and clients that live far from our installation service areas.  We put the shelter in a pallet and then ship it anywhere in the United States.  You and your family can assemble this modular shelter; your homebuilder or a local contractor can install it for you.  The delivery site must be accessible for a 53’ long truck (18-wheeler).  The truck has a lift gate, and the driver will leave the pallet as close as possible to your house. If for some reason, this this is not possible, the carrier can leave the pallet at a location nearby such as the nearest accessible point, and you can bring the shelter home panel by panel (each about 60 lbs) with the assistance of another person.  You could also bring a pick-up truck or trailer and get the unit at the carrier’s local terminal after making arrangements with them.

Average arrival time: 3-10 business days.

Average shipping cost: $399 to $1,900 depending on your location. 

If you would like a storm shelter but do not have the financial resources, you can apply for financing; it is very easy, and it takes less than 5 min.www.torshel.com/financing

For DIY Clients: add the cost of the shelter, the shipping fee, and the financing fee, that amount is the one you need to apply for.  If you require installation, call us first to get a quote and add it to the total amount.
