GROUND SHIPMENTS: Most orders are shipped ground. FedEx Ground is the prefered carrier of Peters Imports. You MUST count your cartons before signing! The carrier is only responsible for the number of outer cartons shown as delivered. When unpacking your shipment, please be sure to open all cartons as we will pack multiple cases into one carton to save on your shipping charges.

COMMON CARRIER SHIPMENTS: Many times orders are large enough to send on pallets. Please let your Customer Service Representative know if: you do not have a receiving dock, a delivery appointment is needed or if Truck shipments cannot be accepted at your location. ANY SHORTAGES OR OUTER CARTON DAMAGE MUST BE NOTED ON THE BILL OF LADING.

EXTRA CHARGES: Please note that additional charges levied by the freight carriers (i.e. residential delivery or lift gate service) will be passed on to you regardless of your order level. These additional charges are not covered by the prepaid shipping chart.

Any discrepancies in the case count listed on the Bill of Lading or outer carton damage not marked on the Bill of Lading BEFORE the driver leaves will not be credited. For concealed damages, please call our Customer Service Team for instructions. When checking in your order, please open all cartons, some cartons may contain more than one item.

WHEN WILL MY ORDER SHIP?

We try to ship all orders within 2 business days. There are a few factors that may affect this timing:

1. Product protection - We may hold your order until the following Monday to prevent perishable product from remaining in a truck over a weekend.

2. Holiday Season (Sept. 15th - Dec. 25th) - Although we add many additional employees and make as many preparations as possible during the season, we may be up to a week behind. We will try to keep you updated if your order will be delayed more than 7 days.

3. Delinquent account status - If your account has an amount past 30 days, our credit department may call you to clear this up before shipment of the order.

4. Product Availability - If more than 20% of your order is out of stock, we may choose to hold the order until the required products arrive. If your order will be held for more than 7 days, we will contact you for possible substitutes or permission to ship available products and leave the remaining products on backorder.
