Ordering and Payments

Payment is due at the time of order. Accepted payment methods are certified check and credit card. If payment is to be made with a company check, prior approval must be obtained from BLD/ BCO management, and BLD/ BCO may hold the check for a period of time until it clears, which may delay an order. Any other payment arrangements must be made with BLD/ BCO management, and must be obtained in writing prior to ordering. 

Rush Order Processing

When an order is placed with Rush Order Processing, we make our best effort to get the order shipped as quickly as possible, many times even the same day. It is an extra fee and does NOT include any guaranteed date of delivery. It is simply that we work to place this order as a priority for customer who may need a product quicker than normal. If a customer wishes to use a special 3-day, 2-day, or guaranteed shipping method, we automatically include the Rush Order Processing at only the cost of the shipping.

Customized Products

Some custom products may be ordered through BLD. Customization usually costs extra, and sometimes extra costs may be incurred by only estimating custom products, particularly if additional engineering must be done for the product. Some customized products may not be covered by any warranty, and other conditions may apply. Once an order has been placed for a customized product and the customization process has begun, the sale is final and the product can not be returned, even if it has not yet been shipped. Contact Boat Lift Distributors for details.

Shipping and Returns

A shipping quote must be obtained for every order to have an accurate shipping estimate. Some products may be shipped directly from other warehouses so even an order picked up at the BLD main warehouse may incur some shipping costs. BLD charges a 20% restocking fee plus shipping on all returned and cancelled orders. Used items can not be returned. All returned orders must have a RMA authorization from BLD or the return will not be accepted.

BLD charges a 20% restocking fee on all canceled orders. Orders may only be canceled if they have not been shipped. For any item that has been customized or modified in any way for a specific order, the order may only be canceled if the item has not yet been manufactured and the raw materials specific to that item have not yet been ordered.
