Important Details About Shipping & Ensuring Delivery:
We use 3rd party shipping companies and they are very strict regarding responsibilities. You should know what is expected from you and why it is important.
- Correct Ship To Address and Contact Information
If you have given us incorrect info, the shipping company will, most often, return your product to their terminal. They will not automatically attempt to find the correct information and often cancel the shipment. Often times we are not notified of this for days or even weeks - Delivery Inspection
Freight companies require inspection for damage BEFORE someone “signs” for the delivery so open the box and take a look! When damage is reported after the delivery driver leaves the location, the freight company will deny all responsibility for the damage. YOU become responsible. - Receiving the Delivery (off loading from the truck)
Your Powertrain order is going arrive in a 4’x4’ container and will weigh anywhere from 150 to 550 lbs.
Need a Forklift or Liftgate?
If you do not have a “forklift” available we can arrange for the delivery vehicle to be equipped with a “lift gate” for unloading purposes. BUT WE NEED TO KNOW that you need this. Once it is off of the freight truck the delivery driver will, most likely, not move it around for you so be prepare
- Special Location Deliveries
Large items, such as engines, transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials, are delivered via tractor-trailer (small semis). There are “tight” locations where these vehicles become impractical: Long rural driveways, alleyways, cul-de-sacs, dead-end streets, gated entryways, and even apartment complexes are a few common examples of special locations
LET US KNOW!
If we know that you need this type of delivery option we can help insure that your order gets delivered If we don’t know then there is a good chance of a non-delivery situation
