DELIVERY DATES Are Not Guaranteed. The factories and shipping companies are not in our control, and trucks can be delayed. We will provide estimated shipping dates, however, these are just an estimate. Refer to our Terms and Conditions of Sale, below, for more.
Once an item ships, it is your responsibility to track your shipment. Be aware that most shippers like UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc will deliver to the address, not the person. Our policies comply with the shippers' policies in every respect. William Tricker, Inc. does not in any way extend or modify the shipper's policies.
Customer agrees that neither William Tricker, Inc. nor the manufacturer are responsible for timelines, especially those set by the customer or the customer's installers. Do not schedule installers or prepare installation until your order arrives, you inspect it, and all items are in hand.
All freight and cast stone shipments are insured. If there is a problem such as loss or damage, then notify us immediately. Note all damage on the shippers receipt and get a copy for your claim. Keep all packing material until your claim is closed. Detailed, in-focus photos may be required and customer agrees to supply them right away. If you don't, then your claim can be denied. You agree to allow a representative of the shipper to inspect the original merchandise and packing materials. Keep these on hand if you make a claim otherwise your claim may be denied.
Neither William Tricker, Inc. nor it's suppliers are responsible for lost or damaged shipments. This is the responsibility of the shipper. Either William Tricker, Inc. or the supplier will file a claim with the shipping company. No refund and no replacement will be made until the claim is approved by the transit company. Customer can offer suggestions, however, either William Tricker, Inc., the manufacturer or shippers will determine the best resolution, not the customer. If the customer refutes the resolution, then the customer is responsible for all costs above the resolution determined by William Tricker, Inc., the manufacturer, or the shipper.
Expected Shipping Schedule.
International Destinations. William Tricker, Inc. does not take responsibility to ship items outside of the continental USA. If your item is lost or damaged, neither William Tricker, Inc. nor the supplier is responsible. Where available, the shipment will be insured. For some freight shipments, we'll ship to a US port of entry/exit, and the customer is responsible for shipping into their country from there. Other responsibilities held by the customer include contracting the customs broker or an exporter to take care of your freight for international destinations. Contact us to determine whether we can ship your item outside the Continental USA.
Duties, customs, country taxes, brokerage fees, other international costs. The recipient is responsible for duties, customs fees, taxes, and other costs from international shipments. Contact your country's customs department to determine your final costs. Upon delivery, the recipient may have to pay duties and other customs fees. William Tricker, Inc. is not legally responsible for and do not pay these fees.
Freight Shipping Rates Merchandise is shipped from different locations from different warehouses with different shipping policies, transit companies, and rates. That is why, at checkout, you may encounter a shipping rate for each item. If you believe the shipping was overestimated, please contact us to request a shipping quotation. Because the freight quotation is made weeks before the merchandise is shipped, we reserve the right to charge customer the correct rate, especially if prices substantially increase.
Free Shipping or Shipping Included? Where shipping is included with selected items, the shipping method will be our method of choice only to the Contiguous United States ("lower 48"). The customer will pay the additional cost for rush, expedited, overnight orders, and shipments outside the contiguous USA.
With rapidly fluctuating fuel costs, our prices can change, even after you place your order. Customer recognizes that this is beyond our control but additional charge we must pay. If this is the case, then the customer agrees to pay the increased rate.
Types of Shipping: Common Courier & Freight. There are two types of shippers, common courier and freight. "Common couriers" include UPS, FedEx, USPS. They transport the lighter and smaller items less than about 80 lbs and less than 10-ft long. There are other restrictions such as fragility that might prohibit your order to ship via common courier.
If your order can't go via common courier, it'll ship via "freight". Heavy and/or large items are shipped by freight (e.g., an 18-wheeler may deliver your merchandise.). The larger, heavier (over approx 80-100 lbs), or modestly large or heavy fragile items under 100 lbs might arrive by semi truck or a service other than common courier. The freight company might delivery your order in a semi-truck or might transfer your order to a small truck. The customer is responsible for arranging delivery.
"Lift-gate curbside" delivery is the standard service where the your merchandise is removed from the truck and placed them behind the truck - on the ground. For large items such as the 1-piece concrete pool, the driver will need your assistance. Ensure to have extra help available.
If the truck cannot fit into your driveway, your crate/s will be placed at the back of the truck. The driver is not obligated to further move the crate(s). Some carry pallet jacks and some don't. If they do, then they may move the crate as a courtesy to you.
If you require more than curbside service, please contact us for a "White Glove Service Estimate" (available for the wrought-iron merchandise, unavailable for cast-stone concrete items) where the merchandise is set in location, unpackaged, and the packing debris hauled away for you. White Glove is not available for all products. Call us.
If you live where semi trucks cannot travel (e.g., narrow and winding roads or gated communities), inform us of this so that your quotation will cover the proper delivery service. If you do not request this and an extra shipping cost is incurred, customer is responsible for the added cost.
Signature of receipt is required for all freight shipments. Ensure to inspect your shipment and if you notice any damage even to packing material, then get documentation signed by the driver listing the damage. If you don't get documentation of damage, your claim may not be approved. We recommend to add "Subject to Inspection" to the receipt and get a copy.
Levels of Freight Delivery Service.
Commercial Delivery. Shipped to commercial zones (not residential areas) and client is responsible for unloading from the truck. Some drivers may help but are not obligated. The truck does not travel into residential areas.Residential Delivery. Truck will travel into residential areas. Crate will be unloaded from the truck and placed at the end of your driveway for you (see above under "lift-gate curbside" service). Sometimes the truck can make it into a driveway, but we make to guarantee that is the case for all destinations. This is the level of service provided when items are shipped free.
If you're in a gated community that disallows certain trucks, additional fees will apply to transfer the goods to an appropriate truck.
White Glove Service comes in different levels depending on what you require. Not all items can ship via White Glove. Generally, the freight company will blanket ship to a third party who transports your order to you. This service may include uncrating, hauling away the packing materials, moving the items to your desired location inside or outside. The cost of this service depends on what lever you chose, how far from the truck your items must be moved (e.g., down a dirt or stone path, up several flights of stairs, etc.). We don't offer installation services such as for fountains. Contact us for details.
Order Can't Be Delivered or is Refused? We are not responsible for charges when (1) the customer gives a wrong address, (2) the recipient is not home for all delivery attempts, or (3) recipient refuses shipment. If the shipper returns the item to us or our supplier after 2 or 3 delivery attempts, depending on the shipper's policies, for any reason, the customer will be charged for actual shipping and handling both ways as well as a restocking fee. We will redeliver the order at the customer's request after the customer pays the additional shipping and handling charges.
Custom-Made Merchandise. Personalized, made-to-order, special orders, or other custom-made or custom-assembled items such as spray rings, cast stone items, some artifical plants, etc. are not returnable, not refundable, and not cancelable. Ensure that you are ordering the correct item and it will fit your space and design. We have specialists available to help you decide on the right item for your application — please use them.

Customer has the option to receive a color sample for most merchandise. If you don't order a sample and the color isn't as you expect, then we cannot ept complaints about the color. For color-finished cast stone products, neither William Tricker, Inc. nor the factory will ept objections to the final product color if you don't request samples before ordering your merchandise.

Returns or refunds are not authorized because an item differs by 10% or less in either dimension unless the customer pays actual shipping both ways and any restocking fees. Nor will returns or refunds be made for mistakes on the customer's part, such as entering the wrong address numbers for personalized address markers or having personnel on site if a delivery is delayed.
