SHIPMENT POLICY

HoseTechniques will choose the most cost effective shipping method possible, usually UPS. The Dealer may specify carrier only if the Dealer is incurring all freight charges i.e. Next Day Air, 2 Day Air, 3 Day Select or ground. In such case, HoseTechniques Free Freight Allowance (FFA) will not apply.

DROP SHIPMENTS 

There will be a $10.00 fee (in addition to product and freight costs) for all drop ship orders per each Ship to address. All shipments will be invoiced directly to the Dealer. No C.O.D. shipments or C.O.D. for freight only shipment payments allowed for drop shipments. The Dealer will be responsible for all charges incurred by a refused drop-shipment. A 15% restocking charge will be charged to the Dealer for a refused drop-shipment, in addition to any storage or return freight charges from the carrier. 

BACK ORDERS

HoseTechniques policy is to maintain Back Orders unless otherwise notified in writing that all back orders should be cancelled. Acknowledgement of this is part of your Dealer application.Back Orders will be shipped when product becomes available. If the product(s) were originally ordered as part of a qualifying prepaid shipment, then HoseTechniques will pay the freight as a prepaid shipment when the product(s) become available.

DAMAGE CLAIMS

Should the Dealer receive merchandise that is damaged in transit, Dealer must notify delivering carrier's claims department immediately for settlement. DO NOT deduct in full or part the damaged merchandise from remittance.

SHORTAGES

Carton shortages and damages found by the Dealer must be brought to the attention of the Carrier at the time of delivery, usually denoted on any discrepancy on the delivery notice from the carrier.

CONCEALED SHORTAGES

If a shortage is found within a sealed shipment, a Shortage Claim Form (available online http://Dealer.HoseTechniques.com or upon request) is to be submitted within five (5) days of receipt of shipment. Such shortages are not required to be reported to freight carrier. If not submitting online, complete a Shortage Claim Form and fax it to HoseTechniques Accounts Receivable department at 310-533-7077. Refer to the invoice number, date of invoice, date of shipment, part number/s, description, and carton count indicating discrepancy. HoseTechniques will credit the amount of any verified shortage claim to your account.

RETURNS AND STOCK ADJUSTMENTS

In all cases, a list of products to be returned for credit must first be forwarded to HoseTechniques to obtain a Return Goods Authorization number (RGA #). Only after HoseTechniques receipt and review of returning merchandise are credit memos issued. No cash refund will be given against credits resulting from product returns.

PRODUCT SHIPPED IN ERROR

Products shipped in error require the Dealer to obtain RGA # from HoseTechniques.

These returns (and initial pro-rated freight) will be at HoseTechniques expense: a Call Tag will be issued for this process, and/or appropriate credit will be issued upon receipt of merchandise. 

SPECIAL ORDER RETURNS

Special orders placed with HoseTechniques, received by Dealer, and then returned to HoseTechniques with RGA #, in salable condition, will be charged a 15% restocking fee.
