PLEASE NOTE

 

Please open and inspect the shipment and report any concealed damage or missing items within 24 hours so we can get it taken care of for you asap. 

PLEASE NOTE: you will have 48 hours to report concealed damage. After that you will be responsible for products as we will no longer be able to file a freight claim with the carrier. After this time period, freight claims can no longer be honored
