Shipping Information

Freight is included to a typical commercial and/or industrial address. Not typical delivery locations may carry an added cost.

Typical delivery is defined as a location that is suitable to accept a semi-trailer truck with a standard 53’ trailer on it, and has the ability to offload it. Please be advised that the equipment is delivered in a standard 53′ semi-trailer unless otherwise specified. The carrier’s policy is to deliver it to the tailgate of the trailer only; they do not remove it from the truck unless other arrangements have been made prior to their arrival. The receiver (you) will be responsible to remove the equipment from the truck. If necessary we can coordinate alternate delivery options at the time of order.

Delivery Options:

Liftgate Delivery:

This equipment is packaged on a pallet and can often be too awkward and heavy to remove without dock equipment. If you do not have a dock and/or a forklift, it is best to add “liftgate” delivery to your order. Liftgate delivery will provide a truck with a liftgate and the carrier will bring the equipment to ground level for you.

Delivery Appointments:

Delivery appointments and/or notification prior to delivery are available at an additional cost.

Big City Delivery:

Delivery to Big Cities, such as the downtown areas of Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, etc. will carry an additional fee to account for the limited access delivery.

Remote Area Delivery:

Delivery to remote areas will carry an additional fee due to the added time required for delivery.

Residential Delivery:

Residential deliveries will carry an additional fee due to the limited access and the requirement of a lift-gate truck.

Redelivery:

If delivery is attempted and the freight is not removed from the trailer any redelivery will come at an additional cost. There is NOT an automatic attempt to re-deliver equipment.

Optional Freight Fee Schedule:

Truck w/ Liftgate Delivery: $125.00
Notification Prior to Delivery (24 or 48 hours): $60.00
Delivery Appointment: $60.00
Big City Delivery: $125.00 – $500.00 (depends on zip code)
Remote Delivery Fee: $125.00
Redelivery Fee: $150.00 – $250.00 (varies based on location)

A WeSellFans.com representative will review all of the freight criteria with you at the time of order placement. We have a checklist that is completed with every order to confirm your situation and provide you with exact costs prior to finalizing the order.

** It is incredibly important to make sure your zip code is entered correctly. The carriers base their deliveries on zip codes and never consider the name of the city, Please check, and double check the zip code provided.

All shipments are F.O.B. Factory or, if shipped from another location, f.o.b., point of shipment with charges either allowed, added to invoice, or collect as noted.
Freight is included for mechanical and electrical accessories only when the accessories are being provided with an air curtain.
Freight Classification: Air Curtains: Class 85
