Should an Order be cancelled or Seller limits quantity of product, Seller will provide email notification to the email address or via other information located in your account. A refund will then be initiated for the amount owed via the original payment method.

Product Lead times

It is understood that custom products, especially high demand ones, make it difficult at times to maintain a consistent published Lead time from time of Order to product ship date. With unpredictable spikes in Orders being submitted at any given time it is near impossible to provide stable and short “Order to ship date” lead times. Therefore, the websites indicated lead time is a broad estimate of the time your base will take from time of order the ship date.

Shipping

We ship the base(s) via FedEx LTL freight, we do not use any other carriers and will not take responsibility for shipping on any other carriers at this time. We will only ship to U.S addresses and Buyer agrees NOT to export or resell any Product purchased through the web site outside the United States. All shipments will default to “Residential” delivery. If you wish to have your base shipped to a “commercial” address, or want other nonstandard services, or do a pick-up at the nearest FedEx LTL freight location you can email us this request at least 4 days before your estimated ship date. Most often the shipping costs remain the same but if they increase from the original costs provided on the Order, we may delay the shipment until the additional charges are requested and paid for.

Once your Order is completed and paid, we will review the Order and you will receive a confirmation email. Once the base is in production you will receive an estimated ship date and estimated delivery date based upon a (4) day window. Delivery dates are typically 3 days from ship date. Once a ship date and Carriers expected delivery date is identified you will receive an email with this information. If you cannot accept deliver on the estimated date you must notify us via email within two days of an alternative delivery date. Proposed delivery date must be four days from the date of your notice to change. If we do not receive confirmation of any ship date we will not ship the product until we receive an agreed to ship and estimated delivery date.

The base will be shipped Palletized and within a commercial grade corrugated box. It is the customer responsibilities to refer to the original Order and confirm the shipment weight, then insure you have the appropriate personnel available to off load the truck at the time of delivery. You should receive a call from FedEx with an approximate 3-hour window for the delivery.

If at the time of delivery, no one is there to accept delivery and inspect the delivery or have to re-schedule a delivery with FedEx it is your responsibility to make other arrangements with Fed Ex and you will be responsible for any additional costs. It is understood that any added costs caused by or initiated by you with FedEx above the original shipping costs identified in your Order, may be charged back to your credit card or be invoiced separately, and you agree to pay. You may also request FedEx to hold your shipment and pick up the base at the respective FedEx LTL location and avoid added delivery costs. They may have a minimum timeframe that they will hold your shipment before added costs to store the shipment are charged to you.

Receiving Inspection, and Damage Claim Instructions

Although Sellers products are packaged very well, damage does at times occur with the shipments including internal damage not visible outside the packaging.
