SHIPPING TERMS

When the products leave our warehouse, you own the product. We act as your agent in shipping. The cost of shipping the product to you is included in the initial charges. We reserve the right to determine the carrier. We do not and will not act as your agent involving insurance or claims of loss or damage regarding your purchase.

If you desire to avoid risks in shipping you must obtain insurance coverage to protect this risk, i.e., you bear the risk of loss from the moment it leaves our warehouse. All expenses, including insurance coverage, for returns or shipping of any nature are at the buyer’s expense as if the product were picked up at our warehouse and re-delivered to our warehouse by the buyer.

"FREE SHIPPING": Shipping and handling fees are already included in the initial purchase of any "Free Shipping" products. When a "Free Shipping" product is returned for a refund, the refund will be issued LESS the initial shipping charge and handling fee, and/or any other charges that might apply, after we have received the returned product.

PREFERRED SHIPPER

We usually ship the day the order is paid for. Please write the Invoice / Order Number on your payment when paying by this method.

    The amount you put here should be enough to cover the costs of goods and the shipping and handling charges.  There is a $7 handling charge per case shipped with common carrier and where different items are packed in a case to be shipped on a pallet by truck .

    There is a $15 charge per pallet. Where crating of glass is involved, there is a $15 per crate charge.  (Where multiple glass cases can be banded together sometimes a pallet is unnecessary.)
