Motor Freight Traps
VERY IMPORTANT: The boxes need to be inspected thoroughly on all sides for any apparent damage that can occur during shipping. Do not sign for boxes that have damage where you can tell the trap inside is damaged. Refuse the trap, the motor freight company will ship the trap back to us and another trap will be shipped to you. Even if the box appears undamaged, PLEASE sign "with possible hidden damage." Please unbox trap right away to inspect for any hidden damage. If there is any damage, call us immediately with description of damage so a claim can be filed. After 10 days from delivery, claims will be denied by the trucking companies. So it's very important to inspect upon arrival and unbox and inspect again within 2 days of receiving.
For International orders we charge only for the items ordered and the actual shipping/handling. Any customs/duties/taxes, etc. that are charged by the country are the responsibility of the customer. We have no idea what the different charges are for other countries. You can contact your customs office to find out what these charges are going to be. For overseas mail service, we are not responsible for lost/stolen items or the shipping charges. The only way we can guarantee delivery is to have goods shipped by UPS or Fedex so there is a tracking number and insurance so a claim can be filed.
