Shipping
Many items are in stock. However, if a product must be ordered, a minimum order of $150.00 applies due to manufacturer minimums. Orders are shipped FOB (Freight on Board) shipping point from various locations at the discretion of The Safety Equipment Store®. UPS, FedEx, LTL (Less than Truckload), or other carrier's shipping charges are added to your invoice and charged to the customer.
Large items such as safety cabinets, matting, and certain other products, which cannot be shipped via UPS, will be shipped FOB factory with LTL freight charges added to the customer's invoice.
Most manufacturers products ship free, with shipping prepaid and allowed, to the continental U.S. All shipments ship FOB ship point and the Buyer or Consignee assumes liability for goods damaged or lost during transport, although the Seller will assist Buyer or Consignee with claims to the carrier (LTL, FedEx, UPS, or other carrier) in case of damage or loss.
Hazardous and bulky items are excluded from free shipping. The customer is responsible for shipping charges related to warranty service, product returns, or any issues related to product returns, including shipping to and from the factory or any address designated by the Seller, regardless of customer location.
Shipping Hazardous Products
Products regulated as hazardous by the DOT require special packaging, handling, and may incur additional shipping charges.
Claims
The Safety Equipment Store®, and the Manufacturers we represent, take great care in filling, checking, and packaging your order. However, inspect all shipments for shortage or damage while the Freight Carrier (e.g., LTL, FedEx, UPS, or other carrier) is present and note any shortage or damage on the BOL (Bill of Lading) or confirmation of delivery you sign regardless if on an electronic device or paper. On rare occasions, a package may be damaged, short, or lost in transit. If a shipment is damaged, short, or lost, please note same on the delivery receipt and contact us the same day via email. If your shipment does not arrive as expected, please email us as well. We are here to assist you, no matter the circumstances.
