Freight - Shipments are sent via regular UPS, UPS 100 Weight (for orders weighing between 200 and about 600 pounds), or by truck for orders of 500 or 600 pounds and over or as you direct. FedEx (formerly Viking) truck shipment rates are discounted 62% for customers in California; 66% for customers in the Western states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington; and 55% for most of the rest of the continental United States. The minimum charge for a FedEx shipment is $52.65. Please inquire for rates on shipments to Hawaii and Alaska. We use FedEx for shipments to the Western states listed above unless you specify another carrier. Truck shipments are sent Freight Collect. UPS shipments are sent Prepaid and the shipping cost is added to your invoice.

Damaged Merchandise - For UPS shipments, please notify your UPS service center immediately and request an inspection. For truck shipments, note missing or damaged items on the Bill of Lading and request a damage claim form from the driver. Please phone us immediately if there are any discrepancies or damage to your shipment.

We will immediately issue a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number to be included on the packing slip with the returned merchandise. No credit will be given without an RGA number or after 10 days from shipping date. Special order items are not returnable.
