the shipping company, to make arrangements for delivery. If they
don't show up exactly on time, it would be the
shipping company you would call. Seller is not

schedules. This is true whether Buyer or Seller arranges for the
shipment We will assist in any way we can however we may not be
able to affect the day's outcome.

as close to the purchaser's property line (Driveway) provided the
location is deemed accessible by the delivering freight carrier.
The drivers' responsibility ends by opening up the
back of the truck. The driver is not responsible to unload to
the curb. It is highly recommended that you have someone to help
you unload your products from the truck. In all cases your
products will be shipped and packaged such that two people can
carry any portion of your unit. You will be given a reasonable time
frame to unload freight ranging between 15-30 minutes. Please be
aware that freight is prepaid and that no additional expenses
should be paid to delivering freight Carriers for deliveries
described above. In the event that a clerical error has occurred -

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
- Inspect the boxes carefully for any damage or holes.
- Please note ALL damages on the bill of lading which the driver
has you sign.
- There may not be any damage to the unit itself, however, if we
do need to get some new parts out to you, knowing who is
responsible for the damage will help speed the process up.
- Please understand that it is only the most extreme cases of
damage where the shipment should be refused. If you are considering
refusing, please attempt to get hold of us while the driver is
still there. We will try to guide you in this decision.
- If the damage is so severe as to warrant that the unit be
refused, know in advance, that it will take a few weeks or more to
get a replacement shipped.
Please note that the shipping companies and SRC reserve
the right to come out to the site to inspect any damages or
defects being claimed. You must adhere to these rights, or you
waive any claim you have against SRC for any damages or defects not
inspected by shipping company and SRC.

their best to assist you, however damage and accidents can occur.
