From June 1 through November 30, a storm along the Atlantic coast can push pickups and deliveries back. Keep your dates a little flexible, and we'll reschedule as soon as roads reopen.
Neighborhood rules
If your street in Suffolk is narrow or has HOA restrictions, a store lot or wide road nearby makes the handoff quick.
