  • If you cannot be reached for your delivery, the delivery company will charge additional storage fees or return the shipment.
  • If the shipment is returned due to non-receipt, you will be charged additional shipping fees and it will result in the delayed arrival of your shipment.
  • Freight orders cannot be expedited.
  • If you cannot be reached for your delivery, Freight deliveries require access to a loading dock, unloading equipment or capable persons to unload the shipment from or truck. If that is not possible, a lift gate service can be added for an additional fee.

When receiving your delivery

  • Inspect it immediately for damage and to make sure all items are present.
  • Note all damage and/or missing items on the receipt before signing and accepting the delivery.
  • If you are unable to inspect your shipment when it is delivered, write “DAMAGED” on the receipt before signing as the freight company receives no penalties unless a claim is submitted.
