Delivery of Your Order
Products sold on this site are often large and heavy, so if you have any question about getting your item(s) delivered, please call us: 800-570-6890. We attempt to furnish our vendor with a contact name and phone number at the destination and to have that information on the shipment bill-of-lading, so that the carrier can contact you, if necessary, about delivery. Please furnish an address that will be open during normal business hours. Carriers charge for re-delivery if they attempt delivery and your facility is closed or not staffed. Please note that an LTL carrier’s truck driver is not required to unload your shipment, only to bring it to the rear of the truck for off-loading.
UPS Shipments
GENIE Super Hoists and Load Lifters may ship by LTL or by UPS, and we can specify delivery by UPS to most addresses to avoid a delivery problem. Please advise us in advance if your UPS shipment must be signed for.
Truck Shipments
All other items ship by LTL Common Carrier.
- COMMERCIAL ADDRESSES: If you presently accept delivery of motor freight items, there should be no delivery issue(s) at your destination. If your address does not have a loading dock or forklift truck you may prepay the cost of Lift-Gate Delivery or pick the shipment up at the carrier’s terminal. You may also arrange for shipment to a third party. Carriers will charge for inside delivery when required.
- RESIDENTIAL ADDRESSES: LTL Carriers will not bring long tractor-trailers into residential areas. Lift-Gate Delivery is available and can be prepaid prior to shipment. Shipments can also be picked-up at the carrier’s terminal.
- PICK-UP FROM CARRIER’S TERMINAL: This is usually arranged at the time of your order. If you need to be in touch with the freight carrier, we can assist you in obtaining an address and phone number. Note that shipments need to be picked-up promptly to avoid storage charges.
- LIFT-GATE DELIVERY SERVICE: This service is available at destinations in residential areas or areas that do not have any unloading capability. Service is usually on a shorter wheel-base truck with a hydraulic tail-gate for lowering the load to the ground. Note that the truck driver is only required to get the shipment to ground level; it is your responsibility to remove it from the lift-gate and/or move it on the ground as needed.
