Shipping Customer Service Information

We can ship to virtually any address in the world. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations.

When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.

Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.

How to receive your freight and what to expect:

The freight company will deliver your products to the end of your driveway. Please be prepared to move the freight to its necessary location. Do not allow a freight driver to rush you through inspection. Once your shipment is on the ground, count the number of pallets. Inspect each carton and piece of equipment on the pallet/s. Look closely for any damage at this point. Look carefully for shrink wrap that is falling off, missing, torn or has holes in it. Run your hands along the top, sides, and bottom of your equipment to check for dents or punctures. Damage can result if your equipment was stacked, hit by other freight or punctured by a forklift truck. Inspect underneath any packaging with damage, no matter how slight the damage. Document any damage to the packaging on your delivery receipt. If you note all packaging damage, it will prevent future disputes with a carrier in the case that a product underneath the packaging is damaged. Document any pallet or product shortages on your delivery receipt.

The delivery receipt is a legal, binding document. If you sign the receipt without adding any comments, you are acknowledging that you are taking ownership of the correct number of pallets with no damage to the packaging or products. Only sign the delivery receipt without adding comments if you are 100% sure that there is no shipping damage to the packaging or products.

YOU ARE LIABLE FOR DAMAGE OR SHORTAGES NOT NOTED AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY.

If you receive a piece of equipment with cosmetic damage, take delivery of it after noting the damage on the delivery receipt. You will receive a cash settlement to compensate. If you receive a unit with severe damage, refuse the damaged item. Document the delivery receipt with the reason for refusal. Always take delivery of undamaged products, even if they are on the same pallet as a damaged product.

Additional shipping fees incurred due to customer error are the responsibility of the customer per our shipping and return policy. These errors are most commonly the result of incomplete or incorrect shipping information so make sure to include full street names, apartments numbers, etc. Charges for re-delivery will be charged to the customer.

All shipping quotes are for FedEx or Ground Freight. Small package FedEx shipments will be delivered without appointments and require signature.

All shipping quotes are for the Continental US only. Orders to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and abroad will likely incur additional shipping costs.

If paying by Credit Card, the shipping address must be verifiable with the issuing bank of the card. If it is not, orders will be shipped to the billing address if it can be verified as legitimate by the issuing bank. To add an alternative address (very easy) call issuing card company before processing your order.
