Shipping policy
Order Confirmation, Credit Card Pre-Authorization
When we receive your order, we will send you an order confirmation email, and your payment method will be pre-authorized for the purchase. We place the order with our suppliers immediately. If an item in your order was in stock on our site, but is on back order or unavailable from our supplier for any reason, we will void the pre-authorization, cancel the order, and notify you via email.
Credit Card Charge
Seven days from the date of order, or when the order is ready to ship, whichever comes first, we will charge your credit card.
Shipping Time & Estimated Arrival
In stock products have estimated arrival times on the product page, typically orders are shipped in 3 to 7 days. Note that these are estimates only, based on the latest information we have for each product. They are not a guarantee of arrival by a certain date. Call 888-815-8815 to inquire if expedited shipping is available on your order.
For custom, backordered, or long-lead-time products, we will communicate with you directly about estimated shipping time.
Free Shipping
Free shipping for all products applies to the US contiguous 48 states. For custom-quoted products, rural deliveries, or hard-to-access areas, additional shipping charges will be needed based on our freight carriers' quote. We will contact you for confirmation before assessing any additional charges. You may choose to cancel your order instead, at that time.
Order Tracking
We will email your order tracking information when available. Please allow 24-48 hours for tracking information to become live on the carrier's website. We will inform you if we learn of any unexpected shipping delay. If you do not receive tracking information within six business days of your order, feel free to follow up with us at orders@GetMyShed.com.
Large Item Delivery
Large items such as free standing garages or storage buildings are too heavy or large to ship via package carriers like UPS, FedEx, or US mail, and will be shipped via contracted LTL motor freight carriers. These shipping carriers will usually call you to schedule delivery when you can be present to receive it, but they are not required to do so.
Please check the estimated delivery date on your tracking information. If no one will be home around that date, call the carrier and discuss with them whether they can delay the delivery by a day or two or to make some other arrangement. Many carriers will accommodate, but for longer delays you will incur storage charges, which you will be responsible to pay. If the driver attempts to make a delivery during an agreed upon appointment window and you are not there to accept delivery, they may drop off the shipment, or you may be subject to re-delivery charges for every attempted delivery thereafter. If for whatever reason you cannot be reached after a failed delivery attempt, storage charges will incur and you will be responsible for the storage charges.
If you have any special shipping requirements, for example gate codes, areas where a semi-truck may have an issue delivering the shipment to your property, an alternate drop off point such as a freight-truck-accessible road pullout adjacent to your property, or if you want to pick up your shipment yourself or schedule your own ‘hot shot’ driver to pick it up at the carrier’s local freight terminal, be sure to call and discuss these with the shipping carrier as soon as you can.
Curbside with Free Lift Gate Service
All freight shipments are to your curbside, driveway, or entrance to the address. Since most of our deliveries are to residential areas, our free lift gate service is automatically included for all shipments. With lift gate service, the freight truck will pull up to the curb at the residence, and the truck driver will lower and unload the shipment to the residence curbside. The carrier is NOT responsible for bringing merchandise into your home, garage, or yard, uncrating it, installing it, or removing packing materials.
Other Delivery Services
GetMyShed.com only provides the aforementioned curbside lift gate service. Once we email you the tracking information you can contact the freight carrier directly to inquire about additional services that may be available (e.g. white glove service, placement in the back yard, freight terminal hold, etc.). You would be responsible for directly paying the truck freight carrier for any additional services.
Address Changes, Undeliverable Shipments, Remote Areas, Fragile Bridges, etc.
GetMyShed.com is not responsible for any restrictions due to geographic location, inaccessible roads (dirt, gravel, dead ends, single lane, low hanging wires, low clearances, etc.), local covenants, neighborhood association laws, or any other restrictions that would prevent the delivery of your shipment. If you have any delivery restrictions that would prevent a large truck from accessing or delivering to the curb of your property or build site, please contact us prior to ordering. GetMyShed.com will not be responsible for any shipping costs incurred for undeliverable merchandise for any reason and these costs will be deducted from the customer refund. GetMyShed.com will not be responsible for any costs incurred for special delivery fees to deliver to an inaccessible area that requires special equipment or handling. Additional delivery fees for special handling will be the responsibility of the customer to pay. Some remote locations or locations with roads, bridges, or ferries that cannot take the weight of a large truck are not serviced by our LTL carriers and we do not guarantee delivery will be possible to these areas. If a change of address is needed after the order has shipped, the carrier will charge a fee for this service called a reconsignment fee. All reconsignment service fees will be the responsibility of the customer.
Shipping Damage
IMPORTANT: You MUST inspect both your PACKAGE AND THE CONTENTS immediately upon delivery and immediately report any visible or concealed shipping damage. You only have 48 hours to make your shipping damage claim. Beyond that, you will have to pay for any replacement parts, including shipping costs, which can be substantial. Shipping damage is not covered under the product warranty. Different manufacturers have different ways of dealing with shipping damage, so if your assembly manual or stickers on the box request that you follow a specific procedure or contact the factory directly, please follow their instructions.
If you notice any damage, you should take pictures of the damage and also of the entire box and product, and make note of it on the receipt when signing for or refusing delivery. The driver should also sign, acknowledging the damage. If your package or item(s) do arrive damaged, please send damage photos to returns@GetMyShed.com and we will process an insurance claim on your behalf.
If there is significant damage to the box, such as holes, dents, impacts, or open seams, or if the box has been heavily re-taped, please refuse the delivery unless we specifically instruct you otherwise. If the box or pallet was dropped off unattended and has significant damage call us IMMEDIATELY the same day at 888-815-8815.
If there is any damage to the box, including minor damage, please ask the driver to wait, and open the box and inspect the contents. If there are multiple damaged, missing, loose parts due to internal container breakage, or any large damaged part(s) - please refuse the delivery. Note the damage on the receipt as your reason for refusal.
If there is no damage to the contents, or if there are only 1 or 2 damaged small parts, you can chose to accept the delivery. In this case you must note all damage on the receipt before signing, and also endorse the receipt as “Subject to further inspection for possible concealed damage”. You MUST complete a full inspection of the entire contents within 48 hours of delivery and send photo proof to us immediately, to get free replacement parts. Outside the 48 hour window, you will have to pay for replacement parts and shipping.
If you sign for the delivery without noting damage, it means you accept the item as is. Even though there may be no noticeable damage, you should sign with a note, "Subject to further inspection for possible concealed damage." This will help giving us the ability to file a claim for damage from the carrier in case you later discover concealed shipping damage within the 48 hour window.
IMPORTANT NOTE for DuraMax
DO NOT accept delivery of your DuraMax product until you have inspected it for damage. The driver may not want to wait for you to inspect it, however, you can tell him to wait anyway. If there is damage to the product, and you accept delivery, without noting the damage, then neither DuraMax nor the shipping company will be responsible to replace your product. You will be responsible. There is a large RED sticker on the box that looks similar to this:
Read and follow the directions on this sticker BEFORE signing for the delivery.
DuraMax can be reached on the phone at 800-483-4674, M-F 8:00AM-4:30PM Pacific Time.
Replacement Parts
To ensure your assembly is a smooth and productive process, please inventory and examine your kit immediately after receiving. Take notes and pictures of any missing, defective, or damaged parts. Report the information to us (or to the manufacturer if so directed) and we will arrange to provide you the replacement parts at no cost. We will NOT accept full returns on any products due to missing, defective, or damaged parts.
