What will shipping costs be? Orders under $3,000 shipped within the continental United States are charged a 15% shipping fee. Orders over $3,000 may qualify for free shipping. Free shipping does not apply to drain care products. Drain care shipping cost is $500 per pallet.

What shipping method will be used? Packages over 150 lbs. ship by LTL Motor Freight. Individual packages up to 150 lbs. are shipped United Parcel Service (UPS) Ground.

My shipment was damaged. Who is responsible? When the shipment is picked up from Duracable Manufacturing, the driver's signature indicates receipt of all items listed on the Bill of Lading in good order and acceptance of the responsibility to deliver these items to you in the same good order. To guard against financial loss from damaged or lost shipments, you should take the following precautions.

1. When your shipment arrives, check to make certain all items on the Freight Bill agree with the Bill of Lading or invoice from Duracable Manufacturing.
2. Damaged goods or a short shipment does not, in and of itself, justify a refusal to accept the merchandise.
3. In case of shortage or damage, have the driver note the shortage or damage on the Freight Bill and sign it. Once you sign the Freight Bill without any notation of damage or loss, the transportation company is no longer liable. Any concealed damage found when thoroughly checking your shipment must be reported to the transportation company within 15 days of delivery.
4. If a claim is necessary, the transportation company normally will inspect the damage or trace the loss, provide you with a claim form, and assist you in completing the form. Remember, the copy of the Freight Bill with the shortage or damage noted on it and signed by the delivering carrier’s representative is the best possible support for your claim. Although our legal liability for your shipment ceases when the transportation company signs for it at our dock, we are always willing to help you in any way possible in tracing lost shipments or assisting you with your claims when necessary.

Tax

What if I am tax exempt? Tax exempt customers must submit a completed tax exempt form to taxdepartment@duracable.com. Duracable Manufacturing is required to collect sales tax for our customers with shipments to certain states, due to the 2018 Supreme Court ruling on Economic Nexus. Please submit sales tax exemptions or resale certificates for all applicable states to ensure that the appropriate tax is charged. You will be charged applicable sales tax if we do not have a copy of your exemption certificate(s) on file. Incomplete certificates will not be accepted.

Sales and Promotions

What rules apply to sales and promotions? Discounts or savings cannot be combined with other offers or discounts. Current promos are not valid on past orders. Standard freight charges apply to all sale items. Orders are subject to credit approval. Sales and promotions exclude repair parts and services. Some sales items may have limits on purchase amounts.

Returns

How Do I Return an Item?

Items Under Warranty - If something should break on your machine while still under warranty, contact your account manager or call 1-800-247-4081.

Machine Repair

How Do I Get My Machine Repaired?
