such shipments are subject to USPS size, weight, and content restrictions. If
we cannot send your package to your APO/FPO address, we will contact you.
APO/FPO shipments may be subject to additional shipping fees. If you will be
charged any additional shipping, we will contact you to notify you of the fees
and give you a chance to adjust your shipping address if you so desire.
All shipments, unless specifically
denoted, are curb-side shipments. All larger shipments, shipped via freight
carrier, will require a signature at the time of delivery. If you authorize the
shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, Paradiseoutdoors.com
can not be held responsible for damages that may occur during delivery. It
is the customers responsibility to inform us of any problems with this type of
delivery at the time of purchase. Paradiseoutdoors.com is not responsible for
shipping costs on merchandise not delivered due to a shipping companies
inability to deliver to a particular location. Certain circumstances may
include but are not limited to: narrow or winding roads, dirt or gravel roads,
and vacant establishments. In home delivery is neither implied nor offered and
is not necessarily available even if the customer is willing to pay more for
it.
Remote
or hard-to-reach areas (example: Martha's Vineyard, etc.) may incur additional
shipping fees. This applies to Free Shipping and regular shipping orders. If
this is the case with your order, a Customer Service representative will
contact you promptly to notify you of the additional charges.
If an item is shipped and returned
because it is not deliverable due to an incorrect address, the customer will be
responsible for shipping both ways. Orders for larger items that must ship
freight require the shipping company to contact the customer prior to delivery.
If the product is returned because the freight company could not reach the
customer, this will be considered a return, and the order will be subject to
our regular return policies.
Paradiseoutdoors.com does not charge
shipping on items with a free shipping icon next to them on our website when
shipped to US locations, except for Alaska and Hawaii. Shipments to Canada,
Alaska and Hawaii are not eligible for free shipping. All Canadian, Alaska
and Hawaii shipments are sent via Drop-Ship Vendor’s discretion, and as such
require an individual quote. If you order via the phone, you will be notified
of the extra shipping as soon as the quote is established to
paradiseoutdoors.com. If you order online, a customer service representative
will contact you shortly after your order is placed with the additional
shipping charges (before the item is shipped). The customer is responsible for
all duties and tariffs on Canadian, Alaska and Hawaii shipments.
The customer is responsible for all
duties and tariffs on Canadian shipments.
Our relationship with our vendors
rely solely on drop-ship direct, and larger items will go freight. We reserve
the right to choose which freightway carries your shipment. We do not, however,
control the shipping companies (freight or UPS). Once a shipment is in the
hands of the delivery company, we cannot change shipping addresses, we cannot
make a delivery happen on a certain day, and we can only approximate delivery
times. Basically we only know what they tell us from that point on. We wish we
had more direct control over shipments, but that is not how shipping companies
work.
Over 99% of deliveries have no
external or internal damage, and are signed for without a problem. For your
protection, we ask that you please inspect your
packages following these guidelines:
Standard Delivery:
If your shipment arrives through a typical delivery service such as UPS or
FedEx, you have 3 days to call us at 1-805-239-7899 to report the damage.
Freight Delivery:
If you authorize the freight company to leave
freight without a signature, Paradiseoutdoors.com cannot be held liable for any
damages or missing pieces. Leaving a note is the same as signing for your
products in good condition.
If your order ships via freight,
please follow these steps:
- Step 1: Ensure
that the pallet/piece count on the delivery receipt matches the number of
pallets/pieces you receive.
- If a pallet(s) or piece(s) is missing:
- Note this on the delivery
receipt before you sign. Example: "Received 4 of 5 pieces"
- Call us at 1-805-239-7899
immediately to let us know you are missing pallets/pieces. We will
coordinate with the shipping company to locate the missing pallets/pieces
or replace them.
- Step 2: Inspect
the packaging for external damage.
- If you notice exterior damage:
- Open the box and inspect for
concealed damage before signing the delivery receipt.
- If you notice external
damage and the delivery driver will not allow you inspect the inside of
the package or the driver will not let you note "damaged" on
the delivery receipt, call us immediately at 1-805-239-7899. ( If you
are unable to reach us, you should refuse the shipment. Doing this will
not invalidate your order and we will still work diligently to get your
order to you in good condition as quickly as possible. )
- Note any damages to the
packaging or products on the delivery receipt by specifically writing
the word "Damaged" before signing.
- Please Note: Signing your delivery
receipt without noting any damages legally states that you have received
your freight in good condition.
- Step 3: If
there is no visible external damage, please sign for your freight and
specifically write this note on the delivery receipt: "Did not
inspect for concealed damage."
- Step 4: Please
inspect your items for concealed damage after the driver has left. You
have 3 business days to call us at 1-805-239-7899 to report concealed
damage.
If you have any questions, please
feel free to contact us at 1-805-239-7899.
