FREIGHT POLICY
Items will ship ground (Fedex or UPS) and larger orders will ship out via freight lines. Please inspect all delivered goods to your location prior to signing for them. If damage is present, please refuse the shipment and have the driver note this on the documents.
We take great care in packaging our products, but damage may occasionally occur. Occasionally products are shipped via common carrier and are strapped and shrink wrapped to a pallet. Once the shipment is placed on a carrier, it becomes the property of the buyer and is the responsibility of the buyer to inspect all delivered goods prior to signing for them. A signature indicates that the goods are received in good condition and there is no apparent damage.
Do not sign/accept damaged boxes. You can accept a partial shipment from most carriers. If not, refuse the entire shipment or make notation on the freight ticket describing the damage. Have the driver make the appropriate notations and sign off on the damage, as well. This will simplify the process of filing a damage claim. Ask the carrier driver what their company policy is for filing the claim and proceed accordingly. If the buyer accepts damaged goods, it is the buyer’s responsibility for shipping charges that may incur to send the fixtures back for repair. The damaged goods must be returned within 14 days of the delivery date for repairs. Please inspect all goods as soon as they are received.
