Deliveries which are made by Common Carrier Freight Trucks: delivery locations
not accessible by tractor trailers must make special arrangements for pickup at the local
terminal or pay additional fees for delivery. Please inform sales representative at time
of purchase to avoid add-on fees after the original sale. Certain delivery areas which are
not serviced on a daily basis by the common carrier may require up to 7 days additional for
delivery; certain areas [i.e. Manhattan, certain islands or rural areas, etc] may require a surcharge
by the transportation company in addition to stated shipping fee.
The Liftgate Option for all items is a surcharge for an automated lift to move the item off the
delivery truck to the ground. In some areas Lift Gate service is not available. In the event Liftgate
Service is not available, Solar Direct may at its option, upgrade the service to UPS/FedEx/DHL
(or similar) or Deliver via Courier or Pickup Truck for the same surcharge, provided the item is
delivered to the ground. In the event this service can not be provided, the Liftgate fee will be refunded.
Items delivered by common carrier will be delivered curbside. The driver may move the package up
your driveway and/or inside your property as a courtesy; however, some common carriers charge a fee
for this added service, be sure to verify with the driver if there will be a charge; any additional charges
will be billed directly to the customer by the common carrier.

This is an oversize item. It is shipped through a common carrier freight company (large 18-wheeled truck)
and will arrive at your address about 3-7 days after leaving the manufactures warehouse. The freight
company will contact you in advance to schedule a delivery date and time. The item will be delivered from
the rear of the truck at your address. You will be required to accept and remove the merchandise from the
rear of the truck. The freight company will not take it inside without charging additional fees, which you would
be responsible for paying, as this was not included in the freight quote provided to you. It is important to
inspect the packaging for any potential damage that may have occurred while in transit. It is normal for the
cardboard packaging to show some wear. However, if there is visible damage, refuse delivery of the order and
contact the customer service associate from where you ordered your cover. If there appears to only be box
damage and you decide to keep your cover for further inspection, be sure to note the box damage on the
receipt you will be required to sign so a claim can be filed on your behalf – keep a copy of the signed and
noted receipt for your records. If the package is accepted without any damage noted, any damage found or
any claims needing to be filed will be the responsibility of the consignee.
Solar Heaters
Vortex Solar Heaters ship via FedEx or common carrier.
Notice: the panels are assembled in four 1 foot strips which are connected together with a tack weld. This is to hold the individual strips in place during shipping and handling until they are placed on the roof. In some cases, the tack weld will break apart during rolling, shipping, or un-rolling of the panel. This is normal and does not in any way affect the integrity or performance of the panel; broken seam welds are not covered under warranty.
