We strongly recommend reading and following the manufacturers’ warnings, instructions and procedures carefully. Please contact the factory before proceeding if you think you have a problem.

PRICES & PAYMENT:

Market price fluctuations and occasional errors make it necessary for us to reserve the right to change prices without notice. All accounts must pay in U.S. dollars. Net 30 days from date of invoice. Interest at the rate of 1.5% per month will be charged on all accounts unpaid 30 days after invoice due date.

SHIPPING:

Orders are shipped FOB USABlueBook, or factory, by the most efficient means available. Freight charges, which include shipping and handling, will be added to invoices for open account customers.

Additional charges may apply for certain orders, including but not limited to oversized items, hazardous materials (see below), rush orders, air freight or motor freight items.

HAZMAT SHIPPING FEES:

Certain items are considered hazardous materials (hazmat) when they are transported. Carriers charge an additional fee for shipping hazmat. This fee is passed along to the customer. Other regulated items are not considered hazmat when transported via ground. However, hazmat fees may apply when they are transported via air or vessel based on the type of chemical, the carrier, volume per container or a combination of factors. Lithium batteries are not subject to hazmat fees when shipped by ground, but are often subject to a hazmat fee when transported by air or water. To help customers avoid these fees, certain items containing Lithium-Ion batteries ship by ground only.
