**Shipping Total - Heavier Freight Orders:

A Shipping Total will be displayed on the checkout page prior to placing your order. This shipping total and the guideline quotes in the list above apply to most orders, but cannot be guaranteed for orders containing heavy freight. For orders that contain heavy freight (such as playground border timbers, larger quantities of slides/freight items), the shipping cost for delivery may be higher than the amount shown at checkout since our shopping cart is unable to calculate shipping rates for these orders. If necessary, we will verify a manual freight quote and email the revised shipping quote for customer review and approval prior to order processing and shipment. Customers may email or call to confirm an exact freight quote before placing an order.

Terms and Conditions for Motor Freight Delivery (orders containing Slides, Timbers, Freight Items):

By placing an order for any product requiring motor freight delivery, customer authorizes Detailed Play Systems to hire a freight trucking company on customer's behalf.  All sales requiring motor freight delivery are Freight On Board (FOB) meaning that title ownership of the goods transfers to customer when goods are loaded onto truck at seller's facilities.  Seller is not liable in the unlikely event that loss or damage occurs thereafter.  Customer is responsibile for incoming inspection of the goods at the time of delivery and for noting any shortages or damage to the goods on the freight slip that customer must sign to receive the delivery.  Detailed Play Systems will assist customer with filing freight claim and receiving replacement product in the unlikely event of a damaged or missing goods problem. Once the freight slip is signed 'received in good order' by the customer, there is no possibility of filing a successful freight damage claim. Motor freight company will call customer ahead of time to schedule an appointment to deliver the goods.  Customer or customer's representative must be present at time of delivery. Customer may be responsible for an additional re-delivery fee if the truck arrives with the goods but the customer is not present for the delivery. Customer is responsible to assure that a 48ft-long freight truck is able to get to the provided shipping address, or otherwise make arrangements to pick up the goods from the local freight terminal or transfer the goods at a mutually agreed upon location that the freight truck can get to - most freight companies do not have smaller trucks. It is the customers responsibility to facilitate the delivery and to assure that delivery of the goods to their shipping address by a freight truck is possible. Motor freight company terms for delivery is curbside unload by customer, meaning that customer is responsible for unloading the goods at curbside in front of the house - the driver's responsibility ends with opening the back of the truck.  Most drivers will help with unload, however they are not required to do so. Additional services such as lift gate unload, inside delivery, or smaller truck usage - although rarely required - may be available from the freight company for an additional charge. These services are not included in the shipping total paid with customer's order, and must be requested/approved by customer at delivery scheduling time and paid directly to the freight carrier. Slide deliveries can usually be easily unloaded and brought into the yard or garage by one person, but in the case of the mulch due to total weight of the goods, it is recommended that you plan to have someone assist you with receiving the delivery.
