WHAT TRUCK FREIGHT ENTAILS: The best
rate for truck freight shipping is to have you pick it up at the local
freight terminal or commercial drop point. A residential delivery
is usually $50 to $60 more than a business delivery, and, a lift gate
(which drops the goods off at ground level), is another $80 to $100 in
additional fees. Inside delivery is an additional cost on top of
that.
Know someone with a truck? Can you have a dolly or hand cart on
hand? If you can mobilize a couple of strong bodies, you might be
able to save $50 to as much as $120 or so on your freight costs.

NOTE
ABOUT RECEIVING TRUCK FREIGHT ITEMS: Do
not sign for anything until you have inspected your unit. You
have spent good money on this, and it was shipped in good
condition. If you don't inspect it, and open the unit at home and
find 'hidden damage', there is no recourse for a truck freight claim.
All claims for damage MUST be made at the time of receipt of the
unit! Note any damage on the bill of lading before signing
off--it's a relatively easy process to get a new unit or replacement
parts if you do so. But not if you don't inspect it! Also,
don't refuse an obviously damaged unit. You will still be charged
for it, as we will also be by our suppliers. Freight damage is
very rare (FORTUNATELY!), but proper documentation and reporting of any
damage will expedite the claims process. |
