SHIPPING

Unless you specify otherwise, we will ship your order in the most efficient way possible. If you have a preference of carrier, please tell us; we’ll do our best to honor your request. Packages up to 150 pounds are usually shipped via a parcel service, with charges prepaid and added to your invoice. Larger or bulky shipments are shipped via common carrier, freight charges pre-paid and add.  Items temporarily backordered are shipped to you immediately as they become available. A per order service fee of $5.00 may apply to 3^rd party or collect customers. Need it really fast? Just ask your BASCO Customer Service Representative for details on next-day delivery.

Note: Due to the current volatile nature of freight costs, your freight may need to be requoted between the time of your order being placed and when your order ships. You may see an increase in shipping costs.

PRICING AND SPECIFICATIONS

Stocked item prices are updated daily on our website and are net in U.S. currency. They are FOB shipping point and do not include freight, applicable federal, state or local taxes, customs duties or export packing charges. Prices and specifications are subject to change without notice.

SALES TAX

We are required by law to add sales tax to orders shipped to certain states. If your company or your order is tax exempt, please send us a copy of your sales tax exemption certificate.

CLAIMS FOR SHORTAGES OR DAMAGED GOODS

We take great care in filling, checking, and packing your order. On rare occasions, a package may be lost or damaged in transit. For your own protection, you should always carefully inspect any shipment before accepting delivery. If damage has occurred, you must note it on the delivery receipt. If a truck shipment is damaged, you must also immediately have the shipment inspected by the carrier. Obtain an inspection report from the carrier and forward a copy to us. According to government regulations, any claim must be filed within 15 days after receipt of the shipment. Your BASCO Customer Service Representative can help you – please call us at 1.800.776.3786.
