  • If your item(s) is on backorder or out of stock, we will reach out to you via email and void the pre-authorization in case you don’t want to keep your order until the item(s) become available.

It is a customer's responsibility to review the order confirmation email carefully and ensure the products, sizes, colors, and other options chosen are correct.

Before placing the order, it is the customer’s responsibility to check that the item(s) can fit the desired space and travel through doors, corridors, and staircases in its packaging. Any returns as a result of sizing issues will be the customer’s responsibility (returnable products only).

In some cases, adding a lift-gate service won't be possible, or the item(s) will be too large for a lift-gate due to the size of the package.
  • The driver has the right to refuse to use the lift gate if he/she doesn't feel safe using it. In this case, it's the customer's responsibility to help the driver offload the package from the truck.

How to Receive a Freight Shipment - VERY IMPORTANT

All orders placed on our website are subject to our shipping & receiving guidelines. Those guidelines can be found on this page, and will also be emailed to you once your order has shipped.

Please read this carefully. If you do not report product damage according to the proper protocol you waive your liability to file shipping insurance claims and our company will not be responsible for damages or filing concealed damage.

If your product is damaged in transit, as long as you follow our receiving instructions we will be able to send out the replacement parts immediately.

Here's how to properly receive your shipment:

BOX COUNT

Inspect all boxes and make sure you have the exact number of boxes included with this order. Check the bill of lading from the delivery company to make sure you have all your boxes. Report any missing boxes to the driver and NOTE THAT ON THE BILL OF LADING. Get it in writing!

CHECK FOR DAMAGE

Next, inspect all the boxes for anything that looks like damage. A punctured or smashed box, open it and make sure that there is no damage. In the event of damage, you must report it to the driver and NOTE THAT ON THE BILL OF LADING. If you do not note the damage on the bill of lading you are confirming that you received the goods in a new condition and you release our company and the shipping company from any liability on the shipment.

To be clear – if you sign the bill of lading without notes, you cannot claim damage afterward. Our company is not responsible for shipping damage discovered after signing the bill of lading without notes. It will be the customer’s responsibility to pay for any replacement parts. Manufacturer defects are not the same as concealed damage and will be covered under the product(s) warranty.

OUR COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CONCEALED DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF NOT INSPECTING THE ORDER DURING DELIVERY.

Please, for the sanity of all parties involved, follow our shipping receiving instructions to ensure the smooth delivery of your products.
