Shipping:

All merchandise is sold F.O.B. our factory. All of our shipments go common carrier. We have negotiated excellent freight rates with our shipping companies and pass those savings on to you. All shipments are sent the most cost effective way and are Tailgate delivery to any commercial location on a commercial truck route. The freight companies will deliver your shipment during normal business hours, 8am – 4pm Monday – Friday. Additionally, the truck driver is under no obligation to help you unload. If you are unable to accept a shipment via this method you must select additional services for an additional charge. Please see methods below:

Residential Delivery If the ship to address is not a commercial location or is not on a commercial truck route you must select residential delivery. This includes deliveries to residential locations including ‘home based’ businesses.

Limited Access Delivery If the ship to address is a commercial location but is not a commercially zoned area or is an area that commercial trucks do not normally deliver to, this includes deliveries to schools, churches, and many small businesses without a loading dock facility, including ‘home based’ businesses, you must select the Limited Access Delivery option. If you have questions about your delivery locations please call our support staff at 888-447-2401.

Liftgate Service All freight rates quoted are for Tailgate Delivery. It is your responsibility to have the personnel and/or equipment necessary to unload the material that has been ordered. If you need to have the shipment unloaded from the truck you must select Liftgate Service and the trucking company will be responsible for unloading the delivery off of the truck. They will only place the shipment on the ground and will not move it inside or move it to any other location. If you need the equipment to be moved inside you must select Inside Delivery.

Inside Delivery If you need to have the equipment you are ordering delivered inside your location you must select this service. The freight company will move the equipment from the loading dock to your inside location, but will not move it up stairs or transport on any elevators. They will move the equipment inside the first available door which is decided by the delivery driver not the customer. If you do not have a loading dock, you will require Liftgate Service in addition to Inside Delivery.

Construction Site Delivery shall be defined as the site of any construction of buildings, roads, bridges or other sites of construction including the entire property upon which the construction is taking place, and delivery to any facility (such as warehouses, depots, supply houses or similar facilities) located on such property. The charge provided in this service will include initial notification in the case of delivery to arrange for an agreed delivery time.

Notify Before Delivery If you need to have an appointment scheduled for the delivery we can have the freight company contact you 24 hours in advance for a nominal fee.

Assembly May Be Required Many of our products are shipped unassembled in order to minimize damage and to allow the item(s) to be packed in an efficient manner geared toward obtaining the best shipping value.

INSPECTION OF SHIPMENTS We at Highland Products take extreme care to ensure that your shipment arrives in acceptable condition. On delivery, the carrier will provide you with a delivery receipt. It is vital that you verify that you have received the correct product, count the number of pieces being delivered, and inspect for damages prior to signing this document. No claims for incorrect or missing merchandise can be made unless it is recorded on this delivery receipt. Claims for concealed damages (damages that are not visually apparent through packaging) must be reported at time of delivery with some carriers, so it is imperative that you inspect your shipment for concealed damages at time of delivery. Highland Products can not be responsible for shipments not inspected by the customer at time of delivery. Damage, error, and shortage claims must be reported within 48 hours of delivery.

Once you report a claim, you should keep all packaging and paperwork until the inspection process is completed. If you have a camera (preferably digital) at hand, please take a photograph of the damage. Our freight carriers and manufacturers will work expediently with us to replace or repair any damaged product. Photographs and the appropriate documentation will streamline the process.

Should you have any questions about return or repair, or encounter any difficulty, please call our Customer Service Department at 1-888-447-2401.

No order can be cancelled unless first authorized and confirmed in writing by Highland Products. In many cases the products we sell are custom fabricated to order. If an order is cancelled once fabrication has begun a cancellation fee of 50% will apply.
