The cost of any special packing or special handling caused by Buyer's requirements or requests shall be added to the amount of the order.

Claims for products damaged or lost in transit should be made by Buyer to the carrier, as Seller's responsibility ceases upon tender of goods to Buyer, Buyer's representative or common carrier.  

SHIPMENTS Via Our Truck: If the Seller’s truck cannot make it to the Buyer’s delivery location, then it is up to the Buyer to take delivery elsewhere (at their shop, parking lot, etc.) or our driver will bring the stuff back to our location. The Buyer will be charged back charges for any additional time the Seller’s driver has to wait for any alternative delivery options. If another option cannot be made at that time, the Buyer will be responsible for any additional costs associated with returning the product to our location or in receiving the product in a 2nd attempt either via the Seller’s truck or a 3rd party. The Seller’s truck has the same specs as a standard Penske moving truck. It has a 24 foot box, is 12 ft. 6 inches high and 102 inches wide. It has a gvw of 26,000 lbs.  Our driver is not to take the truck to areas that it may become damaged or that will break any laws. It is up to the Buyer to make sure the delivery location is free and clear of any obstacles that can cause damage or impede delivery (low branches, low bridges or roads with low weight allowances or no delivery traffic allowed). If the delivery location is not safe enough, cleared enough or legal to accommodate a “standard moving truck” then the Buyer needs to make other arrangements to take delivery. 

TAXES: Customers are responsible for all applicable taxes, as law requires.  We reserve the right to add tax where applicable if not charged on initial invoice.
