DELIVERY & RETURN POLICY
SHIPPING/DELIVERY
As a service to our customers, Westside Textiles will arrange the shipping of orders via one of our preferred carriers. All charges are PROFORMA and will be included on the final balance due notice.
If the customer chooses to manage their own freight and delivery, Westside Textiles must be notified of the specific details of the movement such as the desired date of pickup. The fee to move the product from a manufacturer to a terminal for “customer’s own” pick-up will be added to the balance due. All shipments are moved through a Bill of Lading or carrier’s automated delivery system. The location of the pick-up by the client or the client’s agent may trigger sales tax responsibility at that location.
Ownership of the product transfers to the customer (owner) upon the freight carrier taking possession of the order for transport. Therefore, responsibility for damage occurring in-transit is the owner’s.
International shipping quotes available upon request. All international shipments require Certificate of Origin. There is a $50 fee and a 24 hour lead time.
RECEIPT OF PRODUCT
Westside Textiles highly recommends using a qualified receiving warehouse to receive, inspect, consolidate deliveries, and facilitate in-home installation. Westside Textiles advises that all crated goods should be processed through a professional receiver such as a receiving warehouse. A receiving warehouse acts as an agent for the client and is responsible to note any damage and assist the owner with filing a freight claim when any damage is found. A qualified receiving person should be present to accept products when delivered directly to a home.
When receiving shipments with a Bill of Lading, a signature on the Bill of Lading confirms that the products are received in good condition unless exception is made on the Bill of Lading.
When receiving parcel deliveries, a signature on carrier automated handheld confirms that the products are received in good condition.
If the merchandise is refused upon delivery for quality or damage issues, the receiver should contact the Westside Textiles showroom of purchase immediately.
If the driver must “drop and dash”, the receiver should note on the Bill of Lading that any concealed damage of boxed or crated product will be the responsibility of the carrier or the manufacturer as determined upon inspection of the product. Full inspection must occur within 48 hours of delivery and if applicable, all freight claims must be filed within 72 hours.
INSPECTION OF PRODUCT
Inspect the packages carefully. If there is any visible damage to the packaging or the indicator is activated, note it on the Bill of Lading or report to the parcel carrier representative. Take photos of any damage to the packaging, this is necessary to expedite damage claim resolution.
Inspect all merchandise carefully. Cartons and crates should always be unpacked in your presence. NEVER discard original packaging until satisfied with the delivery.
If you are unable to inspect the merchandise at the time of receiving the shipment, note on the Bill of Lading that any concealed damage of boxed products will be the responsibility of the carrier or the manufacturer as determined upon inspection of the products. Westside Textiles must be notified within 48 hours of any concealed damage that is found. Keep a copy of the Bill of Lading. Save the packaging material and take pictures of the damage.
All claims should be reported to the customer service manager at the Westside Textiles showroom of purchase. However, when appointing their own carrier, client is responsible for filing claims with the appointed carrier.
PRODUCT QUALITY AND IN-TRANSIT DAMAGE REPORTING
Products are inspected by the manufacturer prior to release to ensure that the order is in good condition, complete, and ready for shipment.
The carrier is responsible for a complete inspection of the products at the point of origin. Any damage must be noted on the Bill of Lading. The signed Bill of Lading is confirmation by the carrier that they have accepted responsibility for delivering the products in the condition in which they were received. Inspections of the boxed or crated products are limited to the exterior of the packages. Exceptions must be noted and the packages opened at once if the condition of the cartons or crates appears compromised.
All freight damage claims must be made directly to the Westside Textiles showroom of purchase within 48 hours of receipt.
If the customer appoints their own carrier, freight claims must be filed directly with the appointed carrier. Westside Textiles is not responsible for a customer’s own or third party freight damage and claims.
