PLEASE READ OUR POLICY CAREFULLY:
- USED Equipment/ Item Sales: We carry a large inventory of used commercial equipment that has been serviced, tested and (if specified in the listing) refurbished. All used equipment is serviced and tested prior to being listed for sale. This means that our listing photos are current and that is how the item will look when you receive it. We always try to provide the most accurate photos and descriptions of our items to prevent any misinformation or confusion for our customers. If you notice something missing from an item in the listing photos, please don’t expect it to be there when you receive it. If you have any questions regarding an item please reach out to us prior to purchasing or making an offer.
- Used “Untested or Sold AS-IS” sales: Any item listings described as Used and “Untested” or “AS-IS” means you are purchasing an item that has not been tested and is being sold in “As-is” condition. What you are seeing in the photos is what you are buying. This means we did not service or test an item listed as “untested” or “AS-IS” nor are we implying that they work. No guarantees, warranties or returns.
- New “Open Box” Item Sales: We are a direct dealer for many different commercial equipment manufactures. We often update our new display items in store and sell the prior display models listed as “New Open Box” at a discounted price. This means that the item is new and has never been in use but has been removed from factory packaging. This also means that these items are sold AS-IS and may have small imperfections like small dents, scuffs or even scratches from being on display. All listing photos we use are the most current to accurately show the condition of our items listed for sale. Please understand when you purchase something listed as “New Open Box” it is NOT the same as something that is listed as “New”.
- New Item Sales: Again, we are a direct dealer for many commercial equipment manufactures. We typically stock new items in our warehouse and will ship the items directly from us(unless specified). All listings described as “New” means you are purchasing a new item in factory packaging. In almost all cases prior to shipping a new item we will open packaging to inspect equipment and reinforce packaging to prevent any damages that can happen in shipping. If you have any issues with new equipment you received, please contact us directly to avoid any delays. Any issues experienced with new equipment is to be handled directly through the manufacture.

We are not and will not be held responsible for any mishandling or damages done to equipment and items once they have been loaded on or in customers vehicle or trailer by our staff members. Please be prepared and bring your own straps and transport materials. We do not have or provide straps for customers to secure their items.

Please provide us with the following information for a shipping quote: A shipping address, State whether the shipping address is a Residential or Commercial Address (Shipping companies charge an extra fee to deliver to residential addresses even if your home is a business.), Will you need a truck with a lift gate upon delivery? (Yes, if the destination does not have a loading dock or forklift available. Shipping companies will charge an extra fee for this service), Most of our items require freight shipping due to their size and weight. We do not make money from shipping rates. The quote you receive will always be the most current, lowest rate from a reputable, insured freight company that we trust. If you would prefer to use a company of your choice then we can provide you with the shipping weight, dimensions and pick up date for scheduling.

- Crating and Palletizing: We will always secure any item that we ship out to the best of our ability to avoid any possible damages that may occur in freight or ground shipping. We may charge a crating/ palletizing fee for items that require a custom pallet or crate.
- Shipping Damages: Please understand that shipping damages or even total loss can occur. Regardless of how well we secure or crate items, the items do travel between multiple warehouses and trucks before it makes it to its final destination. We cannot control how the items are handled within transit after they leave our warehouse. If any damages are found to an item or crate upon delivery they must be noted in detail on the bill of landing (shipping receipt that the driver has you sign) prior to accepting the delivery. Also please photograph the damages prior to unloading if possible and before signing. It is the buyers responsibility to file any damages done within transit directly with the shipping company. If you do not inspect the items upon delivery and sign for it, you will not be able to file any claims or hold the shipping company responsible for any damages. Shipping companies will deny any claim filed against them after the item has been received and signed for without any noted damages on the bill of landing. Until a item is signed for and accepted it is still the shipping companies responsibility. If the driver denies any claims or is unhelpful, simply ask to speak their dispatcher on scene prior to signing anything. We will always try to help our customers to resolve any issues with the shipping company. However, it is crucial for you to follow the practices stated above in order for us to assist you further in these situations. Thank you for understanding.
