GROUND SHIPPING
Ground shipping provides delivery for smaller items using carriers such as FedEx, UPS & USPS. When your order ships, you will receive an email with your tracking information. For larger items see freight shipping below.
FREIGHT SHIPPING
Freight Shipping is used for larger products that can’t be shipped via common carrier or are too heavy to lift. When products are shipped freight, they come on a pallet or in a shipping crate. The pallet might be plastic wrapped or strapped. We take your purchase seriously and do our best to ship your order in a way that will insure its safe undamaged arrival.
It’s important to note that since freight orders ship on a pallet or in a crate, the truck used to transport your order could be a large semi-truck hauling a large trailer box. These trucks have a hard time navigating through narrow tight roads. That is why Freight orders include curbside delivery only. If you need your order moved somewhere else you can contact the freight company prior to delivery and see if they offer "Inside Delivery" service. This service will take your freight and have it moved into your garage only. Additional charges may apply. The driver must have what he deems is reasonable access to the end of your driveway. On rare occasions, the driver may determine that he cannot access your property line or driveway for your curbside delivery. If this happens you must make arrangements to get your order from the freight company, which at times could mean meeting the driver at a different location. The driver will take your order off the truck for you, but you are responsible for moving the order to where it needs to go on your property. The driver will not offer assistance in this regard, nor is he obligated. If your order exceeds the lift gate size or weight limits, you will need to make arrangements to get your order off of the truck.
The freight company will call you prior to your delivery to schedule the delivery. An adult must be present to inspect and sign for the shipment. If you miss your appointment or need to reschedule your delivery, you may be responsible for additional fees incurred. You are responsible for inspecting the freight shipment for damage at the time of delivery. If you notice any damage to the packaging, you need to make a note on the Bill of Lading sheet, "Freight Refused Due To Damage" and have the freight company take the damaged unit with them. DO NOT SIGN FOR ANY DAMAGED FREIGHT. If you find damage during your inspection contact Freedom Fire Pits right away at (888) 978-0554. If you sign for the freight delivery without noting the damage, the freight company is released from liability and the responsibility now falls on you, the customer. So please thoroughly inspect the freight prior to signing for it.
Occasionally, we get notice from our shippers that the delivery address will require additional fees due to accessibility or unusual circumstances. It is impossible for Freedom Fire Pits to anticipate all delivery circumstances at the point of sale. In the event we are notified by the shipper of these types of situations, we will contact you to cover these additional fees. We cannot be held liable for additional fees that go above and beyond our typical shipping parameters.
