• Types of delivery: We arrange for delivery either to a loading dock with a forklift or delivery with a liftgate for kerb side delivery.
- A "Loading Dock" is defined as a covered, elevated area to which a truck can reverse, providing level access for a forklift to readily unload the shipment.
- "Kerb side delivery" is defined as drop-off at the kerb of your street address. It doesn't include bringing the delivery up your drive way or inside your building. The driver must have ease of access to and departure from your address.
- If you require other types of shipping such as flat bed trucking, construction site deliveries, driver to deliver inside a property line or a building, delivery to locations with limited access, and unusual or "difficult" unloading, these involve additional shipping surcharges imposed by the freight companies. It is important that you advise us in advance if your delivery requires any of these additional services. Failure to do so typically results in delays while additional arrangements and freight company charges are made for your delivery. These additional charges will be passed on to you to be pre-paid prior to releasing your order from the carrier.
- There are limitations on deliveries to California.
