Scheduling Freight Deliveries
If your order is shipping via freight carrier, the freight company will contact you to schedule delivery. Please double-check your shipping contact information to ensure that the email address and phone number are accurate. If the freight company cannot reach you or is unavailable to receive the delivery, you may incur additional storage charges.
Receipt of Freight Deliveries
An adult 18 years of age or older must be available to accept all freight deliveries, and you may be required to assist the driver with unloading from the truck. You must inspect the entire order before signing for delivery. The delivery driver should wait for you to confirm the product’s condition before leaving the delivery location. Note that a damaged box does not always indicate damage to the product inside, and an undamaged box does not always guarantee that the product inside is intact.
IMPORTANT: Once you have signed for your order, no party can file a claim with the carrier.
Suppose you discover any damage to your product upon delivery and inspection. In the case of damage, you should refuse the shipment by writing “Refused due to damage” on the Bill of Lading. Provide the Bill of Lading along with the product to the driver. Please fill out our damage shipping claim form as well to notify us. Proper documentation is required to receive compensation for damages or replacement products.

FedEx Shipments.
If your order was shipped via FedEx, please inspect your product upon arrival. Note that a damaged box does not always indicate damage to the product inside. If the product does appear to be damaged, please complete this shipping damage claim form within three days after the date of delivery. We address these on a case-by-case basis but will try our best to work towards a satisfactory solution!
We aim to ship orders as quickly as possible and therefore are usually unable to make any changes or cancel your order once placed. If you have already received a tracking number, we will be unable to change your order on our end. If you need to change your address, you can try working with the carrier directly to see if they can re-route your order. Additional fees may be incurred. You can return the items within 30 days, but you are responsible for the return shipping, and the items will be subject to a 20% restocking fee.
You may notice your order shows a delivered status, but you are still missing some items. If that is the case, please try the following:
- First, check inside your box.
- Second, click further into your tracking number. Often when we ship multiple items with FedEx, there will be a master tracking number with sub-tracking numbers within it. Our order confirmation email currently only shows the status of one of the tracking numbers, so your other items may still be in transit.
- Third, you can try checking around your house/apartment as the carrier may have left your order in a safer location (alternate exterior door, garage, porch, etc.)
If you still believe you are missing items from your order, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us, and we will look into it for you!
We are unable to ship to P.O. boxes due to the size of our products.
