Your Responsibilities at Delivery

  • 1 You're responsible for unloading freight from the truck — the driver will not do this for you.
  • 2 A forklift or unloading dock service is strongly recommended for lifts and heavy equipment.
  • 3 You're responsible for any re-delivery fees if the carrier is unable to complete delivery on the first attempt.
  • 4 Do not sign for damaged or incomplete shipments — contact Customer Service immediately if items are missing or damaged.
04

Inspection & Damage Claims

  • 1 Carefully inspect your order before signing the Bill of Lading or delivery receipt.
  • 2 All visible damage or missing items must be noted on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery.
  • 3 Report concealed damage or shortages to our Customer Service team within 48 hours of delivery.
  • 4 If no issues are noted at delivery, the shipment will be considered received in satisfactory condition.

Orders may take up to 3 weeks to arrive or become available for pickup during seasonal delays. All listings reflect backorder inventory, including stock scheduled to arrive in upcoming containers.
