Terms of service

Product Description & Scope

Anderson North LLC provides flat-packed, DIY panelized structural cabin kits, including the STACK (log-style bunkie), SHELTRIX (A-Frame), SLANT (mono-slope), SOLID (box-style), and SYNTRY (porch cabin) models. All products are sold strictly as panelized structural kits (goods) and are not sold as finished dwellings, permanent structures, or construction services.

Each kit is delivered unassembled and designed for DIY construction using basic tools. Structural assembly is typically completed by customers within 1–3 weekends, depending on experience, crew size, and site conditions.

Cabins are intended for seasonal, off-grid, emergency, or accessory use. Any use of a kit as a dwelling or occupied structure is determined solely by the buyer and remains subject to local zoning, permitting, and code enforcement requirements.

Anderson North LLC does not provide on-site labor, installation, utilities, foundation work, or construction services.

Delivery & Freight Shipping Policy

Anderson North LLC ships cabin kits from Limestone, Maine using national freight carriers.

All cabin kits are packaged as palletized construction materials and shipped using Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight trucking companies. Shipments consist of palletized building materials such as dimensional lumber, plywood or OSB sheets, metal roofing panels, doors, windows, trim, and boxed hardware.

These shipments are classified as palletized construction materials and are not shipped as prefabricated structures or finished buildings.

Shipping Method

Cabin kits are prepared and palletized at the Anderson North LLC facility in Limestone, Maine.

Once an order is fully paid, Anderson North LLC schedules freight pickup through a national freight carrier. The freight company transports the palletized materials directly to the customer’s delivery address.

Shipments are typically packaged on four pallets and transported by standard freight trucks.

Freight Billing

Freight shipping costs are billed directly to the customer by the carrier (TForce).

When a shipment is scheduled, the customer receives the freight charge associated with their delivery destination. Shipping costs vary depending on distance, residential delivery requirements, and liftgate service if requested.

Payment & Deposit Terms

Two payment options are available for all Anderson North cabin kits.

The deposit authorizes material procurement and production planning.

Delivery will not be scheduled until full payment is received.

If the remaining balance is not paid within the 45-day window, the order may be canceled and the deposit will be retained to cover materials, labor allocation, and administrative costs.
