Shipping & Returns
SHIPPING POLICY
To ship products to you, we use a variety of shipping methods ranging from courier to LTL freight carriers. Depending on the size and weight of your purchase, we will choose the most timely and cost effective method of shipping. Shipping costs are non-refundable.
LTL FREIGHT DELIVERY
Items over 120 lbs ship via an LTL freight carrier that requires a scheduled delivery time that is arranged between the carrier and the customer (you!). You are required to be present at the pre-arranged delivery time to sign for the delivery and move your package into your desired location. This delivery method is curbside drop-off unless otherwise specified by the customer and agreed to by blokDEK®. The driver will arrive at the shipping address you supplied when ordering and you are responsible for moving the products into your desired location. Some shipments may be delivered on a full-size semi-truck so please be sure you choose a shipping address that can accommodate a full-sized trailer or contact us before hand so we can make separate arrangements with the freight company.
If you change your shipping address once the product has left our facility you will be responsible for any re-consignment fees that are incurred. Please be sure to contact us ASAP if you need to change your shipping address for any reason.
LTL shipments should arrive wrapped, strapped, and in good condition. Customers should check the packing slip and condition of the package prior to signing off on it. If there are any discrepancies, they should be noted before accepting the shipment.
When your shipment arrives at the destination terminal, the delivery company will contact you to arrange a drop off time/date. It is the responsibility of the customer to schedule delivery with the freight provider at this point. Make sure you have provided us with a phone number the delivery company can contact you at to schedule the last step of your delivery.
Unless additional arrangements are made prior to your delivery, the delivery driver WILL NOT carry your order into your desired location or assemble your products. If you request additional services from the delivery company, charges from those services will be the customers (your) responsibility.
SHIPPING ZONES & RATES
All shipping rate offers apply to online store only at pricing listed on website. blokDEK® offers shipping to residential or commercial street addresses anywhere within the 10 Canadian provinces (excludes territories) and 48 contiguous United States (every state in the US, except Alaska and Hawaii). If you live outside this area, contact us to arrange shipping. We only ship to a valid street address, and do not deliver to P.O. boxes or military addresses.
We will provide email notification when your product(s) have shipped. Orders are shipped from our Edmonton, Alberta, Canada warehouse.
UNFORSEEN SHIPPING AND ORDER ERRORS
In the case that blokDEK® cannot complete an order or needs to add additional charges due to unforeseen circumstances, we will contact you to inform you of any changes before your order is shipped out. We reserve the right to cancel or change an order for any reason, but we will contact you before any changes are made. Examples of reasons this could happen are but not limited to; new tariffs in place since order date but before shipment, errors in product pricing, additional shipping information required, and customer credit or fraud issues. We may contact you in the case that additional information is required to process your order.
If for any reason you (the customer) choose to cancel your order while the shipment is over the road without attempting to find reasonable accommodation to complete the delivery, the cost of shipping will be deducted from your refund to return the product to blokDEK®.
