Shipping info and charges:
All orders are subject to a shipping and handling charge.
Normal shipping and handling assumes delivery to a place
of business and not a residence. Residential
deliveries may require extra freight charges. We
ship via U.P.S., U.S. Mail, or common carrier freight lines.
It is our option to fill orders from our stock or the manufacturer/distributor.
Manufacturers/distributors require lead times for manufacturing
and/or handling. No C.O.D. shipments. All times quoted
by the phone, fax, or email are estimated time to shipping date.
Add three to seven working days for shipping travel time.
Longer ship times are normally encountered in coast to coast deliveries.
The following are additional
freight charges which may be added to quoted freight costs:

1) Unloading;
Freight line truck drivers are only responsible for bringing freight
up to the tailgate of their truck. It is your responsibility
to unload. Most truck drivers respond well to friendliness
and consideration and might assist your unloading if you request
kindly.
2) Damaged
and/or Missing Merchandise; Any damage to merchandise
whether obvious or hidden, must be noted on your delivery ticket
IN THE PRESENCE OF THE TRUCK DRIVER.
Open all boxes and examine the inside contents in the presence
of the truck driver. Any shortages also need to be noted
on the delivery ticket at the time of delivery. Responsibility
for loss or damage of goods passes to you when they are received
by the carrier. Carrier responsibility is lost without the
proper receiving of goods. No replacement can be done without
the properly noted delivery receipt with the truck drivers signature.
DO NOT REFUSE the shipment because
of damage or shortage. This will seriously delay the replacement
process. Call Us IMMEDIATELY after the trucker leaves so that
we may begin the replacement process. 1-800-821-5197 |
