Our website calculates a flat rate shipping charge based on your shipping address.All shipments are curbside delivery only. This means that the delivery driver will only drive the equipment to the property nearest the entrance.
Freight companies charge more for shipping to residential and limited access (restaurants) addresses versus a commercial address. You must click the box to add this service to your shipping charge. If you do not have a loading dock or forklift on site for your delivery you must add the liftgate service to your shipping charge.
If you have any questions about the shipping charges and calculations, contact our Customer Service at sales@deliaauctions.com
Freight (LTL) Shipments – Damaged/Missing Items
If any item or packaging is damaged or missing, or if you have any doubt about possible shipment damage, you MUST do the following:
- Note it clearly on the shipper’s Proof of Delivery (POD) receipt before signing it and have driver sign, as well.
- Keep your copy of the shipper’s Proof of Delivery (POD) receipt.
Contact us within 2-business days of receiving your shipment at sales@deliaauctions.com. - Keep the damaged packing materials for inspection.
- Take pictures of the damaged items and packaging.
If you are receiving the shipment, it is essential to thoroughly inspect the shipment before signing off on the Proof of Delivery (POD) receipt. You must confirm that the shipment was intended for you, that the entirety of the shipment arrived, and that it was delivered undamaged. If you sign the Proof of Delivery (POD) receipt and find damage later, you will have difficulty proving that the damage occurred during transport. Our warehouse gives great attention to packaging every order for shipment. Unfortunately, damage occasionally occurs during transit, and we must go to the carrier company to receive reimbursement for these damages. By signing the Proof of Delivery receipt, you are taking responsibility and ownership for the shipment in the condition noted. If all or part of the shipment is damaged and you did not note this in any way on the Proof of Delivery (POD) receipt, D’Elia Auctions & Restaurant Equipment Sales CANNOT guarantee any compensation for damages.
Tips for Receiving and Inspecting Cargo
When your cargo arrives, do the following before signing a POD receipt:
- Record the whole procedure: Photograph and video evidence of the freight can make or break a liability battle over a damaged claim. Start collecting this information the moment the freight arrives on your lot during offloading.
- To further protect yourself, ask the shipper to photograph the goods before shipment.
- Examine cargo with the truck driver: Walk through this process with the driver so he or she is aware of any issues you note.
Thoroughly inspect the cargo: Examine each item for visible damage. - Carefully review the packaging, the shrink wrapping, the pallets, and the warning tape. Look for issues such as tears, holes, stains, and other such damage. Check that packages have not been opened and resealed.
- Damaged freight: If you see visible damage, photograph it and make a detailed note of it on the POD. You should note minor wear and tear just to cover yourself. If there is serious damage to a package or pallet, point it out to the delivery driver. After that, with the driver as a witness, open the package up and see if the items within have damage too. If so, make further note of it on the POD.
- Obtain driver confirmation: After you have gone through the entire shipment and documented any issues, obtain the driver’s signature or initials next to your notes about the damaged items.
Take the cargo: Even if it has damage, do not send the driver away with the goods. Instead, make a note of the damages in the POD and accept the cargo. - File a damage claim right away: Typically, you have 7 days to file a damage claim with the freight carrier. It is essential to file a damage claim as soon as possible and within the 7 days to recover any damage costs. Include information about the damaged items, the shipment number, the estimated cost of damage, and contact our Customer Service at sales@deliaauctions.com about the damage.
Small Package Shipments (UPS) – Damaged/Missing Items
Great care is taken when packing your order, but on rare occasions, damage may occur or an item may have been missed. If any part of your order is missing or damaged, contact our Customer Service at sales@deliaauctions.com within 2 business days of receiving your order so we can find a solution for you!
- Loss: A claim for a missing package can be issued if it has not been received within 24 hours of the carrier’s expected delivery date and time or after 24 hours of the tracking information being updated to “delivered”. Before filing a claim, be sure you have checked all exterior doors and other locations where the package could be placed, including the porch, back patio, garage, and any area out of potential weather hazards.
