Shipping Policy

 

We offer free shipping on all swimming pool packages and accessories throughout the Continential United States. A $9.95 handling charge is applied to all orders.
 

We do ship to Alaska and Hawaii but shipping is not included in our prices please call for a shipping quote 800-986-0748.

 

 

All pool packages are transported by freight carriers and are CURBSIDE DELIVERY – the 47’ tractor trailer will deliver your package(s) to the end of your driveway. Freight deliveries are between 10-14 business days, depending on location.

 

Please plan ahead to arrange means of getting the product(s) off the truck and to your desired location. Swimming pool packages require 2 individuals present at delivery time to get the products off the truck and moved to your desired location.

A liftgate service is available for a fee of $49, but must be requested when your order is placed. Tractor trailers with lift gates will lower the skid to the ground. Please be aware that even with this service, you will still need 2 people to move the product(s) from the curb to your desired location.

 

**The freight company is not required to take the product(s) off the truck nor to move the product(s) to your desired location.

 

Your Residence or Business must be accessible by a 47’ tractor-trailer. If the freight company cannot access your location with a tractor trailer you will need to provide an alternate location for delivery or make arrangement to pick the shipment up at the terminal.   

Please let your sales representative know if the trucking company will have a problem delivering to your location at time of ordering so an alternative location can be scheduled and problems can be avoided.

If the ship to address needs to be changed after the pool has already shipped, the customer will need to pay a reconsignment fee of $29 before the change is made. Please make sure if there is a problem with the delivery location you notify your sales representative at time of order.

 

We pay shipping charges in advance. You are not required to pay any additional shipping charges at the time of delivery.  For residential deliveries the freight company will contact you to schedule an appointment before they deliver your product(s).

 

Receiving Freight: Clear Delivery
Receiving freight can be as if you follow a few steps:

  • Stay in contact with your supplier to find out when your shipment was shipped, what carrier it was given to, and an approximate arrival date.
  • When the shipment is delivered, inspect it immediately for obvious signs of damage. If the packages are not intact and wrapped on a skid please compare the pieces of freight you are receiving against your sales order Any damage should be noted on the delivery receipt BEFORE SIGNING.
  • If the condition and quantity of your freight is acceptable, the driver will ask you to sign the delivery receipt. The driver will give you a copy, and take the original signed copy with him/her (as proof of delivery) for his/her employer's records.

 

The driver will help you receive your shipment and answer your questions.

A signed delivery receipt with no exceptions, is called a "clear delivery." Clear deliveries mean that there were no shortages or visible damage at the time of delivery.

If there are any exceptions please note it on the delivery receipt and once the driver leaves call us to let us know there is a problem 800-986-0748. A sales representative will walk you through the process to verify damage and get replacements.
