The shipping department at Carpet Express takes great pride in packing and shipping orders correctly. As a floor covering dealer who regularly ships to individuals, dealers, and businesses across the United States, we know the importance of proper packaging and using the most dependable freight companies. Your Carpet Express sales representative will give you all the shipping details, including cost, approximate delivery time, and phone numbers for your local shipping terminal. *IMPORTANT: You are responsible for unloading home deliveries.
Frieght drivers do not unload deliveries. If you choose a home or business delivery, it is very important to have of a few strong helpers to unload the material from the delivery truck. Most flooring materials are very heavy and the rolls or packages are designed to be moved by a fork lift or by a professional installer. Don't Forget About Terminal Pickup. Most customers choose to have their installer pick up their material from their nearest local terminal. This can save you the home deliver charge (as much as $200 saved), and will save you the hassle of unloading yourself.
*IMPORTANT: Inspect Delivery Before You Accept.
When you or your installer pick up your order up from the shipping terminal, or if you receive a home delivery please be sure to:
- Count the boxes and rolls, and make sure your complete order is accounted for.
- Visually inspect the packages, rolls, etc. for damage.
If damage is seen on your package, write on the shipping bill of lading a detailed description of the damage found (i.e. damage found at the end of roll), and immediately call your Carpet Express sales representative. If damage is not discovered until the goods are opened at home, immediately call the truck line and Carpet Express to report the concealed damage. Also be sure the number of items (i.e. packages and rolls) exactly match the bill of lading. If you have any questions, please call Carpet Express, because once you have signed the bill of lading, you are saying that all goods are received and in good condition.
