What are accessorial charges and freight surcharges?

Free shipping is offered for most domestic shipments, but even these shipments are sometimes subject to accessorial charges. These apply to freight that requires service beyond normal pickup, transport and delivery. BendPak’s domestic dealers will be charged these fees to pass on to the buyer. Accessorial charges include the following: lift gate service; residential pickup/delivery; re-delivery or return trip; pre-delivery phone notification; waiting time; storage charges; special delivery destinations and/or limited access; and reconsignment.

What is BendPak NOT responsible for?

We are not responsible for equipment of any type necessary to unload items off of a delivering carrier's vehicle; charges related to delivery of items to residential areas with restrictions on carrier vehicle size or weight, unless such charges were prepaid prior to shipment; charges related to delivery of items via lift-gate, unless such charges were prepaid prior to shipment.

What is a Bill of Lading?

The signed Bill of Lading is signed acknowledgement by the carrier that the product arrived in good condition.

What should be done about concealed damage?

Consignees have 48 hours to notify the freight carrier and request an inspection.

How do I purchase?

As a designer and manufacturer of quality automotive service equipment, we partner closely with a network of independently owned and operated retail equipment dealers and nationwide service centers for the sale and service of our products. If you would like to purchase any of our products, request further information, or receive details for the dealer in your area, simply fill out the How to Purchase form on any one of our product information pages.

You may also call our sales number found on the Contact Information page. You will be forwarded to one of our friendly customer service representatives who will direct you to an authorized dealer.

What if I am unable to unload the product at my home or business?

OPTION 1 – Freight terminals are located across the country, and they can receive your shipment for pickup or transport.

OPTION 2 – An independent, certified BendPak contractor can handle the delivery—and even installation—of your shipment.

OPTION 3 – Lift gate service can be ordered to help get the product out of the delivery truck. Please note that it is the buyer’s responsibility to prepare the product for installation and/or transport it once it is off the truck.

If I have an item shipped by truck freight, is the driver responsible for unloading the merchandise?

No. An additional fee will be applied to all residential deliveries of heavy equipment and to any lift gate service.

What if my freight is damaged?
