Each carrier has their own expected delivery dates based on the service you selected at check-out once the parcel has been picked up from our warehouse. Any questions regarding delivery dates from the service you selected, please refer to the the following:
Freight/Small Parcel
Small Parcel
All small parcel orders are shipped FOB Origin, which means ownership and risk transfer to you once the carrier picks up your package.
We package orders carefully, but once your shipment is in transit, the carrier is responsible. Please inspect your package upon delivery and report any visible damage immediately. Concealed damage should be reported as soon as discovered.
Shipping insurance through ShipInsure is automatically added to every order. It covers loss, theft, and damage during transit. You may remove it from your cart at checkout if you prefer. Without insurance, you assume full responsibility for your shipment once it leaves our facility.
Examples:
- With ShipInsure: File a claim for reimbursement if your package is lost or damaged.
- Without ShipInsure: You are responsible for replacement or repair costs if anything happens in transit.
Please see below to learn more about ShipInsure and how to file a claim.
Freight
Items that are too large for regular ground delivery may require shipment via truck freight. If your order will require freight shipping, you or someone on your behalf must be present to receive and sign for the shipment. If you are not present on the scheduled delivery date, you may incur penalty charges for redelivery.
You will be sent a PRO number to your email address you provided at checkout once your order is picked up by the freight carrier from our warehouse. You can use the PRO number to track your order.
Depending on the particular shipping arrangement for your order, the obligation to prepare, file any shipping documents may be yours. Please see the following scenarios to determine your responsibility for such case:
- If your goods were shipped “FOB destination [or Anvil Auto shipping dock], or Freight Prepaid and Added to Invoice”, Anvil Auto has paid its carrier to deliver the items and assumes the responsibility for preparing and filing any paperwork, and pursuing a claim with the carrier. You agree to make reasonable efforts to assist Anvil Auto in collecting and providing information regarding any damage or loss. Anvil Auto will coordinate the pickup and return of any damaged items with the carrier, and will receive any reimbursement or payout for any damage or loss. Anvil Auto will endeavor to either repair or replace the damaged or lost goods, in its sole discretion, within a reasonable time period of receiving notice of the damage or loss. You can have the item(s) exchange for a similar item(s) of equal or lesser value. If you would like to have the item(s) exchange for an item(s) of greater value, you will need to pay the difference in MSRP price.
- If your goods were shipped using your contracted freight carrier, i.e. your freight management program, your goods were shipped “FOB shipping point, or Freight Collect {or bill cost to customer freight carrier account}”, you have paid a carrier of your choosing to pick up the items from Anvil Auto and deliver them to your chosen location. You took ownership of the goods when your carrier picked them up from Anvil Auto. You have assumed both the risk of loss and the responsibility for preparing and filing any paperwork, and pursuing a claim with the carrier. A replacement item may be sought by you by contacting Anvil Auto and such replacement item will be provided at your cost and expense. Anvil Auto agrees to make reasonable efforts to provide any additional information necessary for your claim. A FOB shipping point agreement will be sent to the buyer prior to releasing the goods to your carrier.
