- Product must not be damaged in any way. All damaged products must be returned to manufacturer. (See above)
- There must be no missing parts from product. If parts are missing, customer must contact manufacturer.
Guaranteed Low Price Policy:
It's this simple - if you find a lower total retail price, (on the exact same BendPak or Ranger Product only), advertized anywhere on the web (by an authorized dealer for the product in question), let us know where you found it, and we'll beat it. If you have already purchased a product, and then find it for a lower price elsewhere within 15 days, we will refund you the difference. Must not be used or refurbished product. Price must include any additional charges (such as shipping & handling) the competitor may be charging to arrive at the final price. Price must be verifiable on a specific vendor's web site, not a 3rd party web site, and not a screen shot. We must be able to actually go to the web site in question and see the price. Guaranteed low price policy also does not apply to paid membership sites not available to the general public where they collect a fee from the user to be a member.
Delivery: The Tool Connection makes no guarantee that ordered items will arrive by a certain time or date. Any quote regarding delivery date or time frame is merely an estimate. If you absolutely must have product within a certain time frame, you must notify The Tool Connection at time of order. Most items can be expected anywhere between 4-14 days, but could take up to 21 days, depending on various factors. The Tool Connection is not responsible for any additional fees customer may incur for rental of equipment for purposes of unloading or other purposes related to receiving product. The Tool Connection is not responsible if freight company provides customer with a delivery date, and unforeseen circumstances delay shipment further. Once again, any delivery date, provided either by The Tool Connection or the freight carrier is merely an estimate, not a guarantee of a delivery date. Any number of various shippers may be used to deliver product to destination, depending on the item being shipped, quantity, time and destination. Some larger items will need a loading dock or some other special means to remove item from delivery vehicle. Customers are responsible to provide for these means. Again, customer is responsible for unloading heavy truck freight shipments from delivery truck, unless other arrangements have been made (ie: liftgate delivery). Additional charges will apply for a liftgate delivery. Some items are too large for a liftgate. Customer is also responsible for installation of products, unless otherwise agreed to. Customer must follow manufacturer's installation specifications and instructions for installation and operation exactly or warranty and return capability may be eliminated. If freight company attempts delivery and nobody is present to receive shipment, causing a subsequent re-delivery attempt, customer will be responsible for paying a re-delivery fee. Additional charges would also be required if customer needs to re-direct shipment to a different delivery address after order has already shipped. Customer may also be responsible for storage fees if freight carrier has to hold product due to customer being unable to receive product for periods of two days or more.
Shipping & Handling: The Tool Connection has now established a free shipping format to the 48 states. (sorry Alaska & Hawaii, but additional shipping charges will apply. Call for quote). There will be no shipping or handling charges added to any orders with the following exceptions:
- Certain shipments that ship via freight truck to military bases, schools / universities, prisons, golf courses, government institutions, resort properties require a $75 surcharge.
- Customers will be charged a $40 fee for any heavy deliveries that must ship via freight truck (usually single, heavy items over 100 to 125 lbs.) that are delivered to a residential (non-business) address. These are orders that must ship by freight truck rather than UPS or FEDEX.
- Online orders - this $40 residential delivery fee will be assessed after your order has been completed. Please indicate in our "Special Instructions" section whether or not your ship to address is a business or residential address. There will be no additional charges for UPS orders shipping to a residence, or to a business address. We currently deliver to the continental US, lower 48 contiguous states only. Please indicate if liftgate truck is required. An additional fee will apply to all orders that require lift gate. Some items are too large to be delivered by liftgate. Call for details. Note: We currently ship to the 48 contiguous states only.
- Redelivery attempts - If customer was not present or able to receive truck freight shipment at carrier's first attempt, a second attempt will require a $75 redelivery fee.
