Several shipping options are available and depend on the composition of the order, its final destination, and any special customer requirements. Customers may elect to utilize the Blackpointe Guaranteed Freight Price Program which provides a fixed freight cost at the time of order placement. Freight charges are predetermined and prepaid by Blackpointe and are added to the invoice at the time of shipment. If the customer does not elect the Guaranteed Freight Price Program, then Blackpointe will ship by what is determined to be the most reasonable way. The shipping cost will be calculated and added to the invoice. If the customer prefers to designate a carrier, then a 10% surcharge will be  added to the freight invoice.

Air freight and other special delivery requirements will be quoted and invoiced separately. Prices do not include inside delivery, installation or sales tax.

Shipping Policies

Risk of loss of merchandise passes to the Buyer upon acceptance by the carrier. All shipments should be carefully inspected by the Buyer.

In the event of freight damage, the consignee must make a notation on the carrier receipt, and request the delivering driver's signature. The Buyer must also notify the carrier of the need for an inspection, and then file a freight claim. All cartons must be opened and inspected immediately, and if concealed damage is present, the carrier must be notified within 15 days. An immediate inspection of both the damaged goods and the packaging material must be requested. The Buyer has the sole obligation of filing claim with the carrier.

We are not responsible for delays in scheduling or failure to make scheduled shipping dates due to acts or omissions of Buyer, acts of civil or military authority, compliance with Government regulations, strikes or factory shutdowns or alterations, lockouts or other labor complications war, riots, fires or Acts of God, embargoes, reduced supply or excessive cost of fuel, or inability due to causes beyond Blackpointe's reasonable control to obtain necessary labor, manufacturing facilities or material from usual sources.

If a delay of shipments is requested by the Buyer, Blackpointe may transfer the merchandise to  a third party owned warehouse, pending shipment. All costs related to this storage, including but  not limited to insurance and transportation will be the responsibility of the Buyer. Transfer to a storage facility will be considered delivery for all purposes including invoicing and payment. Storage charge and freight charges for delivery will be invoiced separately upon release of the merchandise form storage and will be due upon receipt of the invoice.
