DELIVERY TIME
|
|
We strive to get orders out as soon as possible. The majority of our orders are processed and shipped within 24-48 hours. However, some items do take longer to process and ship. We do welcome shoppers to contact us to check stock and lead times. We drop ship products direct from their manufacturer. In many cases, the product will ship directly from the manufacturer to you. In some cases, we may have the product shipped to our warehouse before shipping it to you. Any expedited shipping (3-day, 2-day, overnight) may not affect order processing time so please make allowance before placing orders.
We use UPS as our primary delivery service, however other carriers (i.e., FedEx, USPS, many common carriers) may be requested. Though we strive to honor your requests we reserve the right to change the shipping carrier if needed.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS AND SHIPPING
|
|
International orders will be dealt with on a case by case basis. All non-US orders must be paid for via wire transfer (or credit card in some cases). Any products that offer free shipping are for shipment within the contiguous 48 United States. You may arrange shipping through a freight forwarder in the contiguous 48 states and we will ship your order to that location. Shipping charges beyond the contiguous 48 States will apply.
We ship Internationally via major carriers. We recommend contacting our customer
service directly to obtain instructions and rate quotes for
international orders. Our International shipping quotes are estimates
and may vary at the time the order is placed. Additional costs such as
Customs Duties, Brokerage Fees, Storage Fees, Import Tax, etc. may
apply and are not the responsibility of Stapler Warehouse.

PALLET CHARGE
|
|
Our experience has shown that certain items have a tendency to get damaged in shipping. To insure a safe delivery, we require those items to be shipped on a pallet. An additional shipping charge (pallet charge) is listed on the web under the item if it's applicable. Some customers do not wish to pay this fee. To accommodate them, please submit a signed request absolving StaplerWarehouse from any and all liability regarding shipping. They must also pre-pay their order in full by wire transfer. Then and only then, will we ship their item any way they request.

|
|
RATES / SHIPPING CHARGES
|
|
Appropriate shipping charges will be added to each order. Shipping charges may include a surcharge. All orders over 150 lbs. will be quoted and shipped on the least expensive common carrier (truck) that is available unless requested otherwise.
|
|
|
TRUCK / COMMON CARRIER
|
|
Many items cannot ship by UPS, FedEx, etc. We have attempted to identify these products and have posted notices on the particular product's web page. Therefore, unless specifically requested, we will ship the best way (i.e., the least expensive common carrier for the value) that we can find.
Inside Delivery charges are additional costs for bringing the machine from the delivery truck to the location inside the facility where you are placing the machine, and in some cases includes removing a shipping pallet.
Lift Gate Delivery refers to a delivery truck fitted with a lift attached to the body of the truck which is used for moving the item from the cargo area of the truck down to street level when there is no loading dock available. The item will be left at the location next to the lift gate of the truck.
If you require an Inside Delivery or Lift Gate Delivery please contact a sales representative who can provide you with a quote.
Truck shipments are to commercial locations only. Deliveries to residential locations could incur additional charges. These charges will be added to customer invoices as required.
