Shipping & Returns

 

SHIPPING POLICY
 

  1. All orders will include Free Shipping to a commercial location of your choice with either a loading dock or forklift available.  If you do not have access to a commercial business location to receive your order don't worry, we can also ship to our Freight Carrier Terminal nearest you for convenient dock pick-up. All orders are shipped via LTL Freight Carriers.

  2. If your order is placed and payment is received or financing is approved by 12 p.m. EST (Monday - Friday) the order will be shipped the next business day. Orders placed on weekends are processed on Mondays. We ask that you allow 7 - 10 days for shipment to arrive (in most cases it will arrive sooner). In the event of high sales volume, shipments may be delayed up to 2 business days. If an item in your order is on back order it will require up to 7 - 10 days to ship from our facilities. 

  3. Please consider the following before requesting your order to be shipped to a residential address. On average the additional cost to ship to a residential location is approximately $350.00.
     
  4. Please inspect the item(s) carefully for any shipping damages. It is possible that small dents or dings to the housings can occur in transit. Minor flaws are cosmetic and DO NOT affect the integrity, operation or warranty of the system. Please note the flaws on the trucking bill and accept the shipment. In the event that major damage is found, BE SURE to note the damage on the trucking bill, along with the drivers' signature and call us immediately.  

It is your responsibility to pick-up your shipment within 48 hours after its delivery to the freight carrier's terminal center. If you are unavailable to pick-up your shipment delivery within two days after the shipment arrives to the service center, the carrier will assess charges of a storage fee. If you would like to change the address your shipment is delivered to, after your order has shipped, the carrier will charge you a re-consignment fee. We must authorize any changes to the final delivery address.

  • Look for any damage to the packaging. Damage to the packaging includes:
    • Broken pallets.
    • Shrink wrap that is falling off, missing, slightly torn, dirty or has holes.
    • Cardboard with tiny crinkles, dents or tears. 
    • Inspect underneath any packaging with damage, no matter how slight the damage.
    • When in doubt, sign the delivery receipt noting damage. 


YOU ARE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO THE PACKAGING OR PRODUCTS NOT NOTED AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY. DO NOT SIGN THE DELIVERY RECEIPT CLEAR UNTIL YOU HAVE DETERMINED THAT YOUR SHIPMENT IS COMPLETE AND FREE OF SHIPPING DAMAGE. YOU MAY REFUSE PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT IN ADVERTISED CONDITION.

  1. If you sign the delivery receipt damaged and take delivery of the products, we will process a damage claim on your behalf. You may do one of the following:

    a)  Retain the equipment and receive a cash settlement or replacement parts with an allowance.

    OR

    b)  Exchange the equipment. We will reship a new item once the damaged item is en route back to us.

  2. If you refuse the product that is damaged, noting that you are refusing due to damage, and take delivery on the undamaged products, we will reship a replacement product once the damaged unit is confirmed to be en route back to our distribution center.

  3. If you sign that there is a shortage, we will work with the freight company to track the missing portion of your shipment. Please allow up to ten business days for the freight company to locate any missing pieces of your shipment. If the freight company in unable to locate the missing pieces of your shipment, those items will be shipped to you at no charge.

  4. If you sign the delivery receipt clear, but later determine that your equipment has been damaged, the settlement outcome is between you and the freight company. You must report concealed damage within 24 hour of the delivery. You must establish that the damage occurred prior to you receiving it.

  5. If you sign the delivery receipt clear, but later determine that you received fewer pieces than the delivery receipt indicated, there is no recourse, although the carrier can perform a search of their docks. Unfortunately, the carrier will automatically deny these types of claims.
