• Production timelines do not include the transit time required for shipping.

SHIPPING & RECEIVING

Special order items not in our inventory will be shipped directly to you from the manufacturer or distributor.

• Small parcels weighing less than 50 lbs. that can be packaged within specified carton dimension limits will be shipped by ground parcel carrier or the US Postal Service.
• All other items will be shipped using ground freight carriers.

Standard ground freight rates include curbside delivery by appointment.

• Additional freight charges may apply and include but are not limited to a lift gate service for heavy palletized items, service to areas with limited access (e.g. gated communities, alleys, or cul-de-sacs), service to addresses with limited hours.
• Labor and equipment required to receive ground freight shipments is the responsibility of the customer.

DAMAGE CLAIMS

The Consignee or a responsible designee must receive, inspect, and sign for product shipped by ground freight.  A Receiving Document along with tracking information will be sent from Water Feature Pros to the Consignee via email when the product is tendered to the freight carrier.

• The Receiving Document outlines the proper procedures for receiving and inspecting the product.
• The Receiving Document outlines the process for documenting damage that may have occurred in transit.
• The procedures outlined in the Receiving Document are binding.
• Failure to inspect the product upon delivery or adhere to the process outlined in the Receiving Document may result in the loss of the Consignee’s ability to file a damage claim with the freight carrier.

Freight damage claims are limited to breakage.  Repairable chips, scuffs, and abrasions are not a basis for a freight claim.

Beyond filing a damage claim on behalf of the Consignee, Water Feature Pros will bear no responsibility for additional expenses, real or perceived, that may be incurred by the Consignee.

CANCELLATIONS

Orders for product made-to-order may not be cancelled for any reason once submitted, accepted, and confirmed by the manufacturer.  Unforeseen production or shipping delays are not a basis for cancellation.
