Shipping Policy
At Home Center Outlet, our priority is to provide you with the best experience from start to finish. From choosing the perfect in-stock door to designing a custom iron door, every step matters to us.Ā We also understand how crucial safe and secure delivery is to your satisfaction. Thatās why we take extra care to ensure your order arrives in perfect condition.Ā
Unlike many other companies, Home Center Outlet does not ship products via freight carriers or LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) shipping methods. Instead, we partner with a direct courier transport company to personally handle your order from pickup to delivery. This means your products will be transported with greater care and less handling, significantly reducing the risk of damage during transit. All shipments are sent directly from our warehouse to your address, ensuring a faster and more secure delivery process.Ā
We know that receiving damaged products can be frustrating, and weāre committed to going above and beyond to make sure that doesnāt happen.Ā
Shipment Processing TimeĀ
We work hard to get your order ready as quickly as possible. Most orders are processed within 2ā3 business days. While we donāt typically deliver on weekends or holidays, weāll always keep you informed if there are any delays. During especially busy times, shipments might take a little longer. If this happens, weāll let you know right away so you can plan accordingly.Ā
Shipping Rates and Delivery EstimatesĀ
We believe in transparency. Shipping charges and delivery estimates for your order will be clearly outlined in your quotation.Ā
Shipment Confirmation and Order TrackingĀ
Once your order ships, we will notify you by email. Since we use a direct courier transport service, your order will not pass through multiple distribution hubs, making tracking and delivery more streamlined and predictable.Ā
Residential DeliveriesĀ
Due to safety guidelines, we kindly ask that 2ā3 able-bodied people be available to assist with unloading larger items. Our direct courier service ensures that your order is handled with care, but couriers are not responsible for bringing items inside your home.Ā
Commercial DeliveriesĀ
For business deliveries, lift-gate services are not required as our direct courier transport company handles deliveries with specialized equipment. Products will be delivered curbside or to a designated unloading area. If special equipment such as a forklift is needed for unloading, it is the customerās responsibility to arrange this in advance.Ā
Your ResponsibilitiesĀ
Weāll always work with you to ensure a smooth delivery, but there are a few responsibilities on your end:Ā
-
Please be available to accept your order at the scheduled time. Since we do not use freight or LTL carriers, delivery schedules are more precise.Ā
-
A minimum of 2ā3 able-bodied persons must be present at the time of delivery to unload and receive the products. Our courier service ensures careful handling, but unloading assistance is required to ensure a smooth and safe delivery.Ā
-
All items must be inspected upon delivery for any shipping damages, and the recipient must sign a product receipt acknowledgment confirming the condition of the items. If any issues are found, they should be noted immediately, and our team should be contacted for further assistance.Ā
-
If delivery cannot be accepted, additional storage or redelivery fees may apply. Weāll provide all the necessary tracking details to help you plan.Ā
-
If for any reason you canāt take delivery at the terminal near you, let us know, and weāll work together to find a solution.Ā
Inspection and DamagesĀ
We carefully package every order to minimize the chance of damage during transit. However, if any damage occurs, please inspect your shipment upon delivery and contact us immediately if something isnāt right. Since we use a direct transport service, damage claims are handled more efficiently. Holding on to the packaging can help us work with the courier to resolve any issues.Ā
Returns and RefundsĀ
If you need to return an item, weāre here to help. Returns can be made within three (3) days of delivery, as long as the item is in the same condition as when it was shipped. Weāll issue a full refund of the purchase price, less a 15% restocking fee (excluding shipping costs).Ā
Unfortunately, we canāt accept returns on items damaged during shipping, but weāll guide you through filing a claim with the transport company. Please notify us before sending any returns, as items sent without prior communication may be refused.Ā
