I will be responsible for checking the pallet count, piece count and/or individual small items inside of bigger boxes upon receipt of my order (pallet and piece count information will be sent via e-mail when the order is shipped). In the event there is a piece count shortage and/or damage, a note MUST be made on the receiving receipt before any items are signed for from the carrier. I also understand that if a shortage and/or damaged item is not noted or inspected, neither the carrier nor Pontoon Specialists will be held responsible. I further understand that if I am not present when my order is delivered (for example by Fed-Ex or USPS), and there is a shortage or damaged item, I will need to contact the carrier and Pontoon Specialists immediately to file a claim. I further understand that if any shortage or damaged merchandise is not noted and/or reported to Pontoon Specialists within 24 hours, Pontoon Specialists will not be held responsible for refunds or exchanges.

CARRIER SELECTION

Based on your location and the size and type of products ordered, Pontoon Specialists will select the most efficient carrier to deliver your products.

FedEx or the U. S. Postal Service (USPS) will deliver smaller orders. For each of these carriers, Pontoon Specialists will provide a tracking number, the carrier website address, and the carrier toll free number via e-mail at the time your order is shipped.

In most cases, FedEx Freight will deliver larger orders. Pontoon Specialists will provide a tracking number, the carrier website address, the carrier toll free number, as well as the number of pallets and pieces in the order via e-mail at the time your order is shipped.

PLEASE NOTE: All freight deliveries require that an individual receive, inspect for damage/shortages and sign for all shipments upon arrival. This individual will also be responsible for removing all products from the freight truck. The pallet will need to be broke down to remove the items individually, or you can contact the carrier to request a “lift assist” truck (at your expense) to lower a pallet to the ground.

If you have special shipping instructions when placing your order, please describe them in the “Notes” section at the bottom of your shopping cart. We will be more than happy to help you with these requests, but some requests will require you to pay additional expenses.


For Assistance With Tracking Orders, Please Feel Free To Contact Us.

  • Refuse the shipment or damaged item(s). IMPORTANT - The words “Short, Damaged or Short & Damaged” must be wrote on the carrier's receiving receipt before you sign it.  Refusal of a shipment must get approval from Pontoon Specialists before refusing the shipment to avoid unnecessary fees!

CARPET & VINYL FLOOR RETURN

Carpeting And Vinyl Flooring Have To Be Rolled As Compact As Possible For Us To Meet Shipping Requirements To Our Customers. Because Of This Reason, It Will Not Be Possible To Do Exchanges If The Item Is Removed From The Packaging Bag It Is Shipped In. DO NOT Remove The Carpeting Or Vinyl Flooring From The Original Bag That It Is Shipped In If You Are Unhappy With The Color Or Texture, As Return Of The Item Will Not Be Possible After That Point. 

We Recommend That You Make A Small Tear And Fold An Edge Back To View Textures And Colors Before Unwrapping Carpet And Vinyl Flooring. Of Course, We Will Be Able To Help You If These Items Are Damaged During Transit, Or If The Wrong Color/Length Was Shipped. 

We Encourage Customers To Request Samples Of Vinyl, Carpet, Vinyl Flooring, Sheet Metal And Biminis To See Colors And Textures Up-Close Before Placing An Order.
