when your shipment arrives

by ups or FEDEX:                      

If your shipment is being delivered by UPS or FEDEX , the driver will bring the merchandise inside. Simply sign for the number of boxes and if there is any damage, call one of our customer service representatives at 800-826-8423 to resolve the problem.

 

BY TRUCK:

In the case of a truck delivery, the driver will normally not unload the merchandise and will require you to take merchandise from the truck inside (unless inside delivery was requested when the order was placed). The following instructions are provided to assist you in receiving your shipment correctly.

          Examine the carton closely on all six sides. If the carton is damaged, you do have the right to open it to inspect contents (ICC Regulation 120).


BACKORDER POLICY

Occasionally, some items may be out of stock. If an item is not available for shipment, it will be placed on backorder as long as the backordered item(s) total $25 or more. Backordered items totaling less than $25 will be cancelled. Both backordered and cancelled items will be marked on your packing slip and invoice.

 

Essential Medical Supply, Inc.® will be responsible for freight charges on backorders if the original order was shipped free. If you do not wish to pay additional freight charges on backorders, please discuss with your customer service representative when placing your order to confirm item availability.

 

DROP SHIP POLICY

Customers may request drop shipments for standard selling quantities. An additional $5 drop ship fee will be added to the invoice in addition to the actual freight charge.

 

ADDRESS CORRECTIONS

It is the responsibility of the dealer to make sure all "Ship To" addresses given to Essential Medical Supply are correct. If an address correction or reconsignment is required, there will be a $18 per incident charge.
