The Woodworkers Shoppe Delivery Policy - click here for printable format

Our goal is to deliver your Skyline Woods products to you quickly, safely and efficiently. While Skyline Woods mills and custom crafts all of its solid wood products, we contract all of our deliveries with professional freight services. This allows us to get your order to you faster and maintain lower prices. A Woodworkers Shoppe customer representative will work with you to determine the best method of delivery for your order. For convenience and safety of all concerned please follow the guidelines for the delivery method that is selected for you below:

I. Semi Truck Flat Bed Delivery - for large orders

The contracted delivery drivers do not carry unloading equipment, such as forklifts. For this method of delivery, a forklift is required and it is your responsibility to have a forklift and operator available to unload your order. The forklift must be able to lift a minimum of 12 ft. and 2500 pounds. Please consider that the delivery area must be large enough to accommodate the unloading of the flatbed with a forklift and must be done so in a timely manner.

II. Semi Truck with Enclosed Van Delivery (Common Carrier) - small orders

This shipment method is designated for small orders that ship long distances.  The delivery truck is usually a box semi truck (as shown here), which typically means that the product will have to be unloaded off the back of the truck by a fork lift or by hand if a fork lift is not available.  The trucks can be as large as a full semi so please be sure to have ample room for the truck to maneuver if the order is being delivered to a residence.  Whenever product is shipped by a common carrier it is always cheaper to have it shipped to a business or commercial address rather than a residential address. Once the product leaves The Woodworkers Shoppe location it is the carriers responsibility to deliver the product undamaged. In the unlikely event that damage does occur during shipment, you can refuse shipment or accept it, but note on the carriers delivery receipt exactly what damages occurred. Notify your Woodworkers Shoppe customer sales representative immediately. The Woodworkers Shoppe will ship the replacement product back to you in a timely manner. Save all materials and original packaging and boxes for the carriers inspection and pick-up of merchandise.   Always look your package over well and if you have any questions, sign your delivery receipt "Accept upon further concealed inspection".

III. Pick-up Flatbed and Trailer Delivery - most common orders

This is the most flexible and common method of delivery. While this method of delivery is flexible, and can often be unloaded directly at your door, you must consider if there is ample space for both a pick-up truck and trailer. Larger orders will require a forklift and operator for unloading. Your Woodworkers Shoppe customer representative will advise you when your order is placed.

• In some cases, hand unloading will be the only option. The driver will assist in removing the materials from the trailer for you and your help to unload at the job site. The drivers’ time is very valuable and delivery times need to be kept to a minimum. If the unloading takes longer than one hour, you will be charged $25 plus $25 for each additional 1/2 hour of the driver’s time. This could mean as much as $75 for the first additional hour and $50 for each hour after that (based on $25 per ½ hour). The driver will inform you when, or if, any excess time over an hour is approaching and will convey the additional charges that may be incurred to you. All additional charges will be paid directly to the driver at the delivery completion. In order to avoid additional charges, please have additional/sufficient help on hand to unload your order in a timely manner.

• If for any reason your order cannot be delivered to your door, such as excessive snow, mud or foliage, your order will be unloaded at the nearest possible location.

• If your delivery site cannot be accessed with a trailer, you may need to consider using two pick-up flatbeds for delivery. A flatbed load contains three units while a trailer load contains eight.

• If you have not arranged for a forklift or additional help to unload your order in a reasonable amount of time, your order will be returned to The Woodworkers Shoppe. It will then be your responsibility to arrange the delivery of your order.

Thank you for your cooperation in the shipping, delivery and unloading of your Skyline Woods order. By following these guidelines you can be assured that your order will be delivered in the best condition possible.

Damaged Claims:

Damages are noted as......"

Apparent Loss/Damage:

• Apparent loss or damage must be noted on the Freight Delivery Receipt and signed by the driver. Failure to do so will result in refusal of the carrier or The Woodworkers Shoppe to honor any and all claims.

• Apparent loss or damage on pick-up flatbed with trailer must be noted to driver and a phone request will be made by the driver to a Woodworkers Shoppe representative.

Non Apparent Damage:

• When damage is non apparent until the merchandise is unpacked, a claim for concealed damage must be filed and your delivery receipt must have been signed "Accepted upon further concealed inspection".

Picking Up Orders:

Picking up your own order will always be an option; whether your looking to cut freight costs or to get away to beautiful Northern Michigan. You are always welcome to pick up your order and visit our spectacular showroom and tour our Skyline Woods Milling Facility.  We can load your order in the back of a truck or on a trailer, your sales representative will inform you on what equipment is required to haul your order. Please be aware of weather conditions and the protection of your wood materials when transporting. Proper tie downs and tarps are not the responsibility of The Woodworkers Shoppe and will be your responsibility solely. It is always a good idea to bring your own plastic or tarp even if it looks like a nice day.
