Adagio Harmony River Fountain (CENTERED IN BASE)

1. A lift gate service. Unless you have a forklift, bobcat, tractor with forks (rated for the weight of your shipment), residential deliveries typically need a LIFT GATE SERVICE.  This is a lift elevator on the back of the truck allowing heavy items to be offloaded from the truck to the ground. If you plan on removing the shipment yourself then the Labor and equipment required to receive ground freight shipments is the responsibility of the customer. Note: these often are large trucks and will only be able to drop the shipment at the end of your driveway. 

1. Heavy palletized items that exceed the normal weights of shipping may be subject to additional freight charges.
2. Service to areas with limited access (e.g., gated communities, churches, alleys, or many cul-de-sacs) will have a “Limited Access” charge applied.
3. Deliveries to addresses with limited hours may incur additional shipping charges, however when a delivery appointment is scheduled, they may meet the needs of your limited hours.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND CONFIRM RECEIPT

SHIPPING & RECEIVING:

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.

All shipments by ground freight carriers will be delivered curbside to your property. You must be prepared with manpower or equipment to move the product from the curbside of your property to where you are going to keep it until it is installed. Note: the freight driver is not required (by their union contract) to move the product other than getting it off the truck when you ordered a liftgate (see section 2a).  This being said, there are certainly instances if a customer is friendly to a driver (smiles, pleasant, bottle of water) that they may do a little more than just a curbside delivery.  If your surroundings are conducive to them moving your pallets a little further onto your driveway using their pallet jack, they may do this, but again they are not required to do so as third party, labor union, contracted employees.

 2) Standard ground freight rates include delivery by appointment and are typically done by a semi pulling a 40-52’ trailer. IF YOUR ADDRESS WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE THIS TYPE OF TRUCK YOU NEED TO LET US KNOW AND WE WILL REQUEST FREIGHT BE PUT ON A SMALLER TRUCK, WHICH MAY CARRY AN ADDITIONAL FEE FOR LIMITED ACCESS.
