SHIPPING POLICY
Shipping charges are based upon weight, dimensions, distance traveled, and type of shipping service you specify (ground, next day, second day, freight). Unless otherwise noted by Buyer, goods will be shipped via carries of our choice (UPS in most cases) with shipping, handling, and packaging charges prepaid and added to the invoice if applicable. Buyer must pay for special routing or pre-delivery notification. Apple Environmental Inc. is not responsible for incorrect address charges. Buyer must supply verified shipping address at time of order to avoid incorrect address charges. Should we incur incorrect address charges we reserve the right to pass those along to the Buyer for payment.
All shipments are F.O.B. shipping point. Shipping method is determined by size and weight of each item. Items differing in size and weight may ship independently, by different methods, even if ordered together. Items that are too large or heavy for UPS will be shipped motor freight. Someone must present to accept truck deliveries. Standard truck delivery is to a facility with a dock designed to receive freight or a fork lift needs to be available to unload pallet or additional pallet charge may apply. Twenty-four hour notification, residential deliveries, lift gate, or inside deliveries are available with an additional charge.
To view shipping charges, use the Shipping Calculator featured in the Shopping Cart. Unless otherwise stated, freight and shipping fees will be charged for shipments to anywhere in the contiguous United States, using a carrier of our choice. Other terms apply to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and export orders. Any extra charges incurred for additional services, such as customer’s carrier or special handling by the carrier, must be paid by the consignee. Items back ordered from an order qualifying for prepaid shipping charges will be shipped prepaid. Title and risk of loss pass to the customer upon tender of shipment to the carrier. Certain restrictions apply to Free Shipping promotions. These include our choice of carriers and shipping methods as well as other limitations.
