Shipping Terms

A. Delivery Types:
Our goal is to provide you with the most cost-effective and expedient shipping options. As such, smaller quantities that are within the acceptable weight limit for UPS or Fedex will ship with one of the above carriers. Orders that consist of a larger quantity or exceed the weight limit for the above carriers, will ship via truck with a common carrier, also known as freight/LTL.

B. Standard Delivery VS Lift Gate Delivery:
If you do not have a loading dock and choose standard delivery, you will be required to off load the items on your own. You may requeste a lift gate delivery at an additional fee, (this is known as sidewalk delivery), and the driver will lower the contents to the ground for you. You will be required to bring in your delivery to your establishment.

C. Freight Delivery Inspection Information:
UPS/Fedex: If your item ships via Fedex or UPS, we must be notified within 48 hours via email, along with photos of any damages within 48 hours of receipt of delivery.

Common Carrier/Freight:
All merchandise is inspected for damages at our warehouse before it ships. Your items will ship FOB (Freight on Board) which means that once a product leaves the warehouse, the freight company is responsible for any damages or missing items.

If your item ships via freight, in order to ensure that you are convered for any missing items or damages that may occur during transit, you are required to do the following:

1) Do not sign the delivery slip until you have counted and inspected the contents of your order.
2) If there are any damages or missing items, please note that clearly on the delivery receipt before signing and make sure to keep your copy.
3) If possible, take photographs of the damages items as well as the damaged cartons.
4) Keep the damaged packing materials for inspection by the freight company.
5) Please contact us asap, but not later than 24 hours after receipt of delivery, to notify us so we can assist you with filing a claim with the freight company.
6) If the driver is unwilling to wait or you are unable to inspect at that time, please write "Unable to Inspect - Possible Damages" on the delivery slip before signing. This may entitle you to compensation for any concealed damages.

We must be notified or any concealed damages withing 48 hours of delivery.
Please note, compensation for concealed damages is often at a lower rate than damage noted on the delivery slip. However, we will do our best to assist you regarding your claim with the freight company.
Please note, by signing the delivery receipt without noting any damages, you are stating that your delivery has been received complete and in acceptable condition and you will likely not be covered for any concealed damages or missing items.

D. Delivery Scheduling:
Freight companies generally deliver on business days during normal business hours. There must be someone present at your location to accept, inspect, and sign for the delivery. In the event that no one is there, there will be a re-delivery fee assessed by the freight company and charged to the customer.
If required, please request a call before delivery; it may incur an additional charge. The freight company is not able to re-deliver due to unsuccessful attempts to schedule delivery, the items will be returned to the warehouse and the customer will be responsible for the original shipping, return shipping, as well as a 35% restocking fee. These charges will also apply in the event that a delivery is refused by the customer either in whole or in part.

If there are any issues regarding the delivery, please contact us at 908-433-4264 or 877-860-7328 immediately so we can resolve your issue to your satisfaction.
