FREIGHT POLICY
Most freight products ship on standard pallets. Products that ship freight are either too heavy or too large dimensionally for ground shipment. All shipments will require access for a semi-truck and trailer to deliver, unless otherwise stated. Keep in mind, shipping to a business address is less expensive and typically has a more convenient delivery process.
Residential addresses in a limited access area or outside of the delivery area, may require you to pick the product at the nearest freight terminal. We will not be responsible for additional fees or compensate for deliveries in these areas. If this is a concern in your area, please advise during the shipping quote process.
After placing your order, depending on the ship to address and delivery method selected, you may receive a call from SSOM regarding the shipping. For this reason, it’s extremely important to provide your main contact number at the time of check out.
For freight shipments going to a residential address, the shipping company will call you from the local terminal to schedule a delivery appointment. All residential freight requires an appointment to be delivered. Oftentimes, the estimated delivery date on the website will be incorrect because of the appointment policy. Do not make arrangements to stay home to accept delivery until the shipping company confirms the established delivery appointment.
Shipping to a business with forklift and or loading dock access is considerably less. Residential deliveries need lift gate assistance, a surcharge fee is applied for this service in the amount of $80 - $100. The lift-gate platform is installed at the rear of the truck to unloading your package. The driver will take your delivery off the truck for you, but it is your responsibility to bring it onto your property.
Please take a few minutes to examine the exterior of the package for any visible damage. You should unpack your item at the time of delivery in the driver’s presence. In the unlikely instance that you recognize damage, remember to note it on the Proof of Delivery (POD) slip that you’ll receive from the driver. If the damage is beyond your level of acceptance, refuse the delivery, take pictures, and notify Mark ASAP at (901) 831-1451 or email mark@SSOMD.com. We never expect the customer to file a claim, we always do that for the customer.
By signing the proof of delivery and accepting ownership of the property in its current condition, your signature and delivery acceptance is acknowledging responsibility for filing any claims with the freight company for damage reimbursement. We will not be responsible for damaged items that are not noted on the POD and without photos taken during the time of delivery.
