Shipping info and charges:
All orders are subject to a shipping and handling charge. Normal
shipping and handling assumes delivery to a place of business and
not a residence. Residential deliveries may require
extra freight charges. We ship via U.P.S., U.S. Mail, or common
carrier freight lines. It is our option to fill orders from our
stock or the manufacturer/distributor. Manufacturers/distributors
require lead times for manufacturing and/or handling. No C.O.D.
shipments. All times
quoted by the phone, fax, or email are estimated time to shipping
date. Add three to seven working days for shipping travel time.
Longer ship times are normally encountered in coast to coast deliveries.
The
following are additional freight charges
which may be added to quoted

1) Unloading;
Freight line truck drivers are only responsible for bringing freight up
to the tailgate of their truck. It is your responsibility to
unload. Most truck drivers respond well to friendliness and
consideration and might assist your unloading if you request
kindly.
2) Damaged
and/or Missing Merchandise; Any damage to merchandise whether
obvious or hidden, must be noted on your delivery ticket IN
THE PRESENCE OF THE TRUCK DRIVER. Open all boxes and examine the inside
contents in the presence of the truck driver. Any shortages also
need to be noted on the delivery ticket at the time of delivery.
Responsibility for loss or damage of goods passes to you when they are
received by the carrier. Carrier responsibility is lost without
the proper receiving of goods. No replacement can be done without
the properly noted delivery receipt with the truck drivers
signature. DO NOT REFUSE the shipment because of damage or shortage. This will seriously delay the replacement process. Call Us IMMEDIATELY after the trucker leaves so that we may begin the replacement process. 1-800-821-5197
