Frequently Asked Questions
If I am not a commercial user, can I still buy from you?
YES! Although our site is geared toward the commercial foodservice industry, many of our smallwares and light equipment will exceed your expectations when used in a residential setting. Larger equipment can be sold to a residence, though there may be some features unavailable for home use.
How do I set up an account with Globe Equipment?

Does free shipping apply to heavy and oversized items?
Yes! Globe Equipment will not charge freight for ANY order marked FREE FREIGHT regardless of the size or weight of the product if being shipped within the continental United States. For items being shipped outside of the contiguous 48 states or internationally, the customer will have to contact Globe Equipment to get shipping rates. If you need a lift gate to get the item off the truck, that is not included in the free shipping.
