SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES: Shipments are Ex Works (EXW Incoterms 2010) our dispatch location. Shipments are not insured, but may be insured at the Customer’s option and cost. Please let us know in writing at time of order if you wish your shipment insured. Goods are normally shipped by the customer's nominated carrier. Desco Europe may provide the option to ship by our carrier. In this case, any freight charges quoted (by the website or our customer services team) are estimated; they do not necessarily represent the carrier's published rates and may include additional charges levied by the merchant. Freight charges for credit card orders are paid in advance. Freight charges for open accounts are prepaid and added to the invoice per shipment.
CUSTOMER COLLECTION: It is possible to have orders prepared for Pick-Up by the customer or their carrier. This option must be pre-arranged with Customer Service. Once the customer is notified that their order is complete, it must be collected from our factory within 72 hours. After 72 hours the items will be returned to stock minus a 20% re-stocking fee ($40 minimum).
NORMAL DELIVERY: Most orders ship from the factory within 3 working days.
PARTIAL SHIPMENTS: Partial shipments will be made unless the order specifies that the order is to ship complete.
