SHIPPING POLICY
Terms & Conditions
All orders placed with Merchant (phone, fax, mail, text, verbal, or e-mail), either directly or through a dealer, constitute the acknowledgment and acceptance of all conditions listed below.
Shipping & Handling Timeframe
The shipping time quoted in the cart is the estimated shipping time by shipping companies. Handling time varies from 1 to 7 business days. If an item is out of stock, there may be a waitlist on the item, or it may be made to order. Lead time for waitlisted items is made on a first come first serve basis. For made-to-order items, manufacturing time is generally around 2-4 weeks, and transit time of 4-6 weeks.
Customers should contact the merchant BEFORE placing the order for the most accurate estimated shipping timeline. Expedite shipping is generally available for an additional cost.
Shipping & Handling Charges
The shipping cost quoted on the website reflects the best estimate of shipping cost by said shipping companies. The customer must acknowledge that the shipping or delivery method may differ from what is selected at the time of purchase due to practical reasons.
Additional shipping costs may be assessed to reflect accurate real-world costs.
Customers must provide a commercial shipping address for oversized items that require freight shipping. Commercial Freight Shipping rates reflect the best estimate of shipping cost by freight companies shipped to a verified business address. Locations other than a business (residential home, apartment building, church, hospital, schools, military base, etc) will require additional fees. Examples of fees are “residential delivery”, “liftgate delivery”, “inside delivery”, and “limited access”.
In cases where a failed delivery attempt occurs, redelivery fees apply.
Deliveries
The merchant provides delivery service for parts of the mainland United States. For practical reasons (insurance, safety, fraud, etc.), delivery service is preferred by most customers.
Most purchases of larger or fragile items are defaulted to "delivery" as the shipping method. Lead time for delivery is subject to the availability of trucks and drivers. Lead time is up to 4 weeks depending on the locations of trucks and the availability of drivers. The customer must contact the Merchant if a certain time frame is required.
International Orders (Outside of USA)
Customers are to be responsible for all local handling, local shipping, foreign shipping, broker fees, customs duties, import tariffs, paperwork fees, VAT, tax, and any other shipping-associated fees.
Wire transfer is the preferred payment method for international orders.
The website engine does NOT accurately calculate shipping costs and time frames correctly for international orders. Customers are expected to contact the merchant BEFORE purchase for the most accurate estimated shipping cost and timeline.
Damaged Items & Lost Packages
The merchant provides shipping insurance ONLY if the customer opts in for "PREMIUM SHIPPING PROTECTION". Protection covers items for damage during transit. For insurance to be valid, please make sure to CHECK FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE "ON THE SPOT" while the delivery driver is on site. Otherwise, your claim will be DECLINED. If there is shipping damage, let the delivery driver MARK DOWN the damage ON THE SPOT (please take photos and keep the box) and REJECT the package.
