For items to large for UPS, a freight carrier is used.  When a shipment is in your area, the freight company will call you to set up a delivery appointment.  As the freight company delivers many orders each day, they can only state a specific date but are not able to narrow down the time window.  Someone MUST be home at the time of delivery and be able to unload the items from the truck.  Delivery is to curbside only.  These trucks can be very long and must be able to turn around after delivery.  Please note that any additional freight carrier's fees such as re-delivery, special notification, time delays, and lift gate services are the responsibility of the customer.  If such services are requested by you and billed to Center Point Pond, all such fees shall then be re-billed to your credit card.  If the freight carrier is unable to deliver the freight due to problems with contacting you or setting up delivery appointments, storage fees may be assessed by the carrier- in such cases all storage fees are the responsibility of the customer and shall be billed to your credit card.

 

Please inspect your item upon delivery in presence of the delivery team, at least in general.  The driver is not required to wait for you to unpack eveything for a full inspection, unless there is noticable damage on the outside packaging.  Please note on the bill of lading anything you notice that is unusual, and keep a copy of the paperwork. Please contact us right away  and no later than 2 days if assistance is needed.
