Shipping Information

Our products ship from different factory locations depending on the product ordered. Most items usually ship as noted on the product page, depending on size by freight truck common carrier, smaller items by UPS or FedX. Once your order has shipped, transit time usually takes between two to seven business days depending on the warehouse and delivery location, holidays, and bad weather delays not included.

Products shipped by freight truck will be delivered dock to dock only. Should the order require special delivery requirements, contact the carrier and make arrangements directly with them, when you receive the Pro# for tracking. You will be responsible for any additional charges incurred for those arrangements and must pay directly to the carrier. If we are billed for additional delivery freight charges, we will charge your card for those charges. Remember, as the purchaser you will be the consignee and product ownership transfers to you when the freight carrier pick-up the shipment. The purchaser / consignee is responsible for arranging for shipment acceptance. Note: Some carriers may require a signature as proof of delivery of the shipment. Please use a shipping address that will have someone available to sign for delivery. Remember, before you accept and sign, inspect and note any possible damage on delivery receipt and have carrier driver also note damage and sign. The driver usually calls into the carrier to report the damage at that time.

Job Site Shipments – Please provide with order entry a contact name and cell phone number for the job site person who will receive, inspect and sign for the shipment. When you receive the freight carrier tracking pro#, we suggest you contact the carrier directly to confirm carrier has correct information and get a estimate of delivery time if possible. Provide carrier any additional information to both insure delivery to correct site location and make sure the trailer has enough area to make a safe delivery. Just a suggestion.

Cancellations / Returns / Damages

Cancellations: Please order your product and quantity correctly and accurately as most Visual Display Communication Products and Specialiy Interior Wall Finish Products are custom manufactured per your order, and are therefore non-cancelable and non-returnable. ON a few products that are not custom, if the manufacturer accepts a cancellation it will require a min. 30% cancellation charge. Any questions contact us.

Defective Product

Each factory we team with have good quality control departments and product inspection before shipping. If a product is claimed to be defective, please take photos of the problem and text the details, and email us with photo attachments to sales@wiusa.com. Your input is very important, so please be detail is the text information. WE will pass this information on to the manufacturing mill quality control department. The customer is responsible for the return process if mill requires it, until inspection is complete. Our mill quality control department will be to sole judge. IN no event will we or a factory rep visit the location of the product. If a replacement is required, this will be a new order, new charge and any credit will be issued upon inspection conclusion. WE do NOT ship air freight for any reason.

Damaged Shipments

No matter how well a factory protects product shipments, mishaps in transit do occur. Resolving these issues requires the cooperation of all parties. All shipping / freight damage in transit claims must be made against the freight carrier and is the responsibility of the consignee ( customer) to file the claim, cooperate with the freight carrier and follow up with the carrier to secure final settlement of the claim.

Inspect all shipments upon arrival. Even if the package/ box / crate arrives only slightly damaged. It is imperative that you note or request the freight carrier driver to note that the Shipment is Damaged prior to signing for delivery. Do not sign a clear receipt for the damaged or missing packages / box / crate or there will be no basis for a claim and no credit will be given by the freight carrier.

• Even if the driver acknowledges the damages in writing, you must request an exception / claim number from the driver or the carrier and retain the merchandise and all packaging materials including the box / crate at the address where the box / crate was shipped to until the freight carrier has authorized you to move it to a new location. Usually the carrier will send out a inspector to review the damage.

• In case of CONCEALED DAMAGE, the damage is not apparent until the shipment box / crate is opened, you must contact the carrier within 5 days receipt of the shipment and request an inspection be made. Keep in mind that just like visible damage claim you must request an exception / claim number from the carrier and retain the merchandised all packing materials including the box / crate at the address where the shipment was shipped to until the carrier has authorized you to move it to a new location.

• If a shipment arrives damaged or incomplete, please notify us immediately. Although we cannot be responsible for the actual filing of claims on the freight carrier or accept liability for non-collectible shipping / freight claims, we can provide assistance with filing a claim. TIME MATTERS, since most carriers only allow 5 business days form date of delivery to file claims. DO NOT THROW ANYTHING AWAY UNTIL THE FINAL RESOLUTION OF THE SHIPPING / FREIGHT CLAIM.

• WHY you ask do customers have to put up with all the above BS. Simple – it’s the law. Freight carriers spend millions of dollars on Washington politicians to get legislation passed to protect freight carriers or limit their liability to the public. Keep this in mind when you vote. WIUSA.com is picky and we and our manufacturers try our best to use the best carriers. Many freight carriers have insurance that covers up to $25,000 per shipment, not all carry this insurance or a much lower dollar amount. Please keep this information in mind. If you have your own freight carrier you want to use, contact us.
