Shipping Policy
This Shipping Policy outlines the terms and conditions related to the shipping and delivery of heavy equipment purchased from Next Level Heavy Equipment. We aim to provide clear and transparent information about our shipping processes to ensure a smooth and satisfactory experience for our customers.
1. Shipping Options
We offer various shipping options for heavy equipment, depending on the size, weight, and destination of the equipment. These options may include:
- Local Pickup: Customers can pick up their equipment directly from our location.
- Third-Party Freight: We can arrange shipping through reputable third-party freight carriers.
- Customer-Arranged Shipping: Customers can arrange their own shipping with a carrier of their choice.
2. Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are calculated based on the following factors:
- Equipment Size and Weight: Larger and heavier equipment will generally incur higher shipping costs.
- Destination: Shipping costs vary depending on the distance and location of the delivery destination.
- Shipping Method: Different shipping methods (e.g., standard freight, expedited shipping) will have different costs.
- Additional Services: Additional services such as insurance, liftgate service, or special handling may incur additional charges.
The customer is responsible for all shipping costs, unless otherwise agreed in writing. We will provide a shipping quote before finalizing the purchase, so you are fully aware of the costs involved.
3. Shipping Timeframes
Shipping timeframes vary depending on the shipping method and destination. We will provide an estimated delivery timeframe when you receive your shipping quote. Please note that these timeframes are estimates and are not guaranteed. Factors such as weather conditions, transportation delays, and customs clearance may affect delivery times.
4. Shipping Insurance
We recommend purchasing shipping insurance to protect against loss or damage during transit. The cost of insurance will be included in the shipping quote. If you decline insurance, you assume all responsibility for any loss or damage that may occur during shipping.
5. Delivery and Inspection
Upon delivery, it is your responsibility to inspect the equipment for any damage or discrepancies. If you notice any damage, you must document it thoroughly and notify the shipping carrier immediately. You should also notify us within 24 hours of delivery. Failure to properly document and report damage may affect your ability to file a claim with the shipping carrier.
6. Title and Risk of Loss
Title to the equipment and risk of loss pass to you upon delivery to the shipping carrier, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
7. International Shipping
We offer international shipping to many countries. However, international shipments may be subject to additional fees, taxes, and customs duties. You are responsible for all such fees, taxes, and duties. Customs clearance procedures may also cause delays in delivery times.
8. Shipping Restrictions
Certain types of equipment may be subject to shipping restrictions due to size, weight, or regulatory requirements. We will notify you of any such restrictions before finalizing your purchase.
