Shipping
The salon equipment sold by SEUSA is properly packaged for safe
shipment directly to your salon. While some orders are shipped
via UPS or private carrier, most orders are shipped via common
carrier truck-line, F.O.B. our manufacturer's factories.
While freight damage is not a frequent occurrence
because of their packaging practices, no shipment
is immune to the risk of loss or damage. It
is the responsibility of the customer to unload
the shipment, inspect it upon receipt, and appropriately
note any damage or shortage on the delivering
carrier’s bill-of-lading ... before
signing the bill-of-lading.
Shortages:
If the shipment delivered to you is not in accordance with the quantity of cartons as shown on your receipt, do not accept it until such shortages are noted on the Freight Bill and Bill of Lading. ANY CLAIMS FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE should be filed immediately with the Transportation Company that makes delivery to your door. Claims for loss or damage MUST NOT be deducted from our invoice, nor payment therefore waiting adjustments of such claims.
Steps to take if the shipment is damaged:
- Have delivery person note on freight bill the nature and extent of damages.
Notify the Transportation Company’s office to inspect merchandise.
- File claim for damages at once. In filing a claim, you may make a cash adjustment with the transportation company, for full value, arrange to have repairs made, or replace the merchandise.
- If the damage is unnoticed until merchandise is unpacked, notify the Transportation Company’s office immediately and ask to have it inspected.
- Do not destroy packing material until shipment is inspected and claim is settled.
Freight
carriers rarely assume any responsibility for
damage or loss that is not noted on the bill-of-lading
at the time of delivery. The carrier who delivered this merchandise to your door is responsible for its safe delivery.

Shipping
Costs
Due to the nature of the products we provide,
shipping costs can vary not only because of
shipping destinations, but also because of the
larger size and weight of most of our items.
We have found that on average, a good estimate
of shipping costs can be calculated by adding
10% of the total product cost
(when shipping within the continental United
States). A final shipping charge will
reflect this average and be calculated and added
to your total in the shopping cart after entering
your address.
In many cases, SEUSA can optionally specify (at an additional
cost) that the delivering carrier provide "inside delivery"
of the shipment. The added cost depends upon the location of
your salon, the size of the order, and the weight of the individual
pallets or cartons ... this additional cost is determined in
advance by quotation from the delivering carriers. The normal
practice of freight carriers is for the driver to bring the
freight to the back of the trailer and for the consignee to
unload the freight and take it inside. In the case of large
shipments, or shipments of large items, this can be very difficult
and SEUSA recommends that the inside-delivery be specified.
Please feel free to contact
us for a detailed shipping cost estimate.
Present law does not require collection of
sales taxes on SEUSA sales outside the state
of New York, but we are required to collect
and remit the sales taxes on shipments into
New York.
