For product shipments requiring delivery by common carrier motor freight (truck), Acoustics First will make arrangements with an appropriate trucking company.
Please also note that if your item(s) require different shipping methods, your order may be shipped in multiple packages, sometimes from different locations.
Oversized items are sent via motor freight (trucking company).
NOTE: The common carrier motor freight delivery company is NOT responsible for unloading the goods from their truck or carrying the items into the building.
Upon Delivery:
When your order is delivered, immediately inspect the material for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. Carefully inspect the packaging as well as the contents of the package. If the goods are acceptable, please sign and date the shipping receipt.
Moderate Damage:
If there is visible damage to the product, PLEASE note this damage with the freight carrier. You MUST notify Acoustics First Corporation within 24 hours of receiving the goods or we may not be able to file a freight claim on your behalf. It is not necessary to contact customer service if the box is damaged, but your product is acceptable.
