Shipping Terms and Conditions

Orders placed on iFenceUSA.com are generally shipped by truck freight (common carriers) directly to the buyers home or project site. The cost is based on the state to which an order is being shipped. (See the Freight Rate Table below). All information below is based on delivery to any in the 48 continental United States. For deliveries to Alaska, Hawaii or Canada, please ask for a special freight quotation.

Free Freight Requirements and Residential Delivery Fees

iFenceUSA™ will waive freight costs on orders exceeding $3,500 in fence material EXCEPT when shipped to some (not all) states west of the Mississippi River. In these western states, which are denoted in RED in the Freight Rate Table below, iFenceUSA™ will waive freight costs on orders exceeding $6,000 in fence material. Please note that deliveries to residential locations anywhere are always assessed a flat $50 delivery fee that is added to the freight amount on the buyers quote or order confirmation. This fee cannot be waived. In other words, for orders exceeding the minimum purchase requirements for free freight, the buyer would pay a maximum of $50 in freight if delivery is made to a residential location. All orders under the minimum purchase requirements would be assessed freight charges based on the rate table below PLUS $50 if delivery is made to a residential location.

Small Item Orders

iFenceUSA™ may ship small items via UPS, FedEx, etc. and will be assessed shipping and handling charges based on the rates of these delivery companies. These shipments are not considered freight. Therefore, items shipped in this manner will never be assessed the residential delivery surcharge which applies to truck (common carrier) freight.

Delivery Time

Ordered fencing material will usually arrive, on average, about 2 weeks after payment is rendered. Custom fabricated materials may take slightly longer depending upon the size of the order. Of course, we will do our best to get your order out as quickly as possible, but holidays and peak season rushes sometimes bring delays. While this is atypical and orders usually arrive 2 weeks after payment (and occasionally a little longer), we do not make absolute guarantees to ship any order on any date or that your delivery will be on or before a certain date. It is strongly recommended that you do not schedule any installation dates until after you have received and inspected your aluminum fence shipment.

What To Expect When Your Delivery Arrives

Most iFenceUSA™ orders delivered by a freight trucking company will arrive at the buyer's curbside. The trucking company is not responsible for unloading the merchandise cartons from the truck, or for relocating cartons (such as into a building or garage). This is an industry practice beyond iFenceUSA's™ control. Typically, orders are shipped in multiple boxes on pallets wrapped in a protective plastic. This plastic may be removed and the boxes then unloaded from the pallet(s) individually.

Additional Delivery Services Can Be Purchased

Most iFenceUSA™ orders delivered by a freight trucking company will arrive at the buyer's curbside. Someone must be there to accept the order and to carry the boxes off of the truck. The trucking company is not responsible for unloading the merchandise cartons from the truck, or for relocating cartons (such as into a building or garage). The truck drivers are usually helpful, and, in many cases, they will assist you with unloading your order. However, they are not required to do so. This is an industry practice beyond iFenceUSA's™ control. Typically, orders are shipped in multiple boxes on pallets wrapped in a protective plastic. This plastic may be removed and the boxes then unloaded from the pallet(s) individually.

Missed Deliveries

The delivery company will generally notify you by phone to schedule a delivery date. iFenceUSA™ recommends using the most likely answered phone number for orders, such as a cell phone. Generally there is a designated window of time for the scheduled delivery. The buyer must be on-site during the entire window of time to receive delivery. iFenceUSA™ is not responsible for contacting the freight companies for rescheduling delivery or covering any additional expenses via such process.

Delivery Acceptance Protocol / Damaged Material Liability

Freight carriers contracted to ship iFenceUSA™ materials are typically very careful but it is important to understand that damage may occur during shipping. It's rare, but nevertheless possible. All damage is the responsibility of the trucking company and not the manufacturer or iFenceUSA™. At time of delivery, the buyer should inspect entire contents of all cartons for any potential damage that may have occurred during shipment. Inspection should take place right away, in full view of the driver. Just because a box looks damaged, does not mean that the items inside are damaged. Boxes must be opened up to confirm any damage in front of the truck driver. Be thorough, do not allow yourself to be rushed. If it is confirmed that there is actual damage to product, REFUSE delivery and contact iFenceUSA™ immediately for a replacement order.

If a complete and thorough inspection of the contents is not possible at delivery, the buyer must accept delivery with terms, place the note ''RECEIVED SUBJECT TO FURTHER INSPECTION FOR CONCEALED DAMAGE'' on the delivery receipt. Without this, the buyer may not be able to file a proper concealed damage claim with the carrier. If the driver does not allow you to sign the delivery receipt in the manner detailed above, REFUSE delivery and call us. Deliveries that are signed free and clear of damages will be the buyer's responsibility and not that of iFenceUSA™. No exceptions.

Shipping Errors

Any errors or material shortages need to be reported within 24 hours of your delivery. If the error was the fault of the manufacturer, buyer will not be charged additional delivery fees. If the error was the buyer's fault, he will be responsible for cost of any additional products and appropriate delivery charges. All additional charges will be quoted to the buyer prior to shipment and shall be processed as a new order.

Terms Regarding Local Codes and Ordinances

Products ordered from iFenceUSA.com are not guaranteed to be code-compliant for any particular use, intended or unintended, so it is important to be aware of local codes. Buyer shall be solely liable for compliance and shall hold iFenceUSA.com harmless from any lawsuits, fines, etc., arising from non-compliance.
