Where We Ship
We will ship anywhere in the world. Small items (under 150 Lbs) can be shipped UPS. Larger items, sold in North America, are usually shipped via flat bed truck
Common Carrier
If an item must be shipped via common carrier (enclosed truck) it must be skidded and partially crated. We are equipped to do this and will charge a small fee for this service when it is required. Common carrier is used primarily for items weighing between 150 Lbs and 2500 Lbs or items that are too small or are particularly top heavy or delicate that cannot be shipped safely on a regular flat bed machinery transport truck.
International Shipping
For international shipping of machinery we can either crate for export (complete crating) or load the item or items into a container. We are very experienced in shipping large machines out of the country - we do it almost every day. There will be reasonable charges for export crating and/or containerization, based on the time and materials required.
Freight Damage
Upon receipt of the item, complete inspection is necessary prior to removal from truck. Writing the smallest damage on the Bill of Laden (document the driver has you sign) is required. Taking pictures of the damaged area while the machine is still on the truck is also critical. If you accept and sign for the machine without noting any damage on the BOL, the machine is yours "as is" and you cannot claim freight damage later. If you notice damage to the machine contact us at (704) 995-4555 or the driver's dispatcher prior to signing the BOL. |
