SHIPPING INFORMATION |
| 1.
We recommend UPS, we do not recommend FedEx or the Post Office.
2. Include an
Equipment Repair Form inside of your box.
3. It is most important to package your equipment properly.
Air pillows are bad because they burst at
our altitude, 8,000 ft. Large size bubble wrap
works fine. 99% of all damaged units are
due to insufficient packaging.
4. We will reuse your original factory Bose box if it is in
good condition, otherwise it will be recycled. 5. We do not use your shipping
account. 6. Local drop off of your equipment is welcome
during normal business hours. 7. Staples, Office Max, Office Depot
are some available shipping locations.
Caution! Many Pack
and Ship locations are using "AIR PILLOWS" which we do not recommend.
Boxes we receive with air pillows are deflated and equipment has no
protection. |
Hear are a few boxes
shipped to us using the Post Office.

We recommend large bubble wrap. Use 3 layers on
all sides then place additional packing (foam peanuts or similar) to fill
any voids in the box. Use extra care to protect sharp or pointy edges
We receive many questions regarding shipping costs to return
your equipment. The following information may help answer some of
your questions. UPS shipping charges are based on the following.
1. Your distance from our location. (UPS calls these shipping
zones)
2. The actual weight of the box. (heavier boxes cost more
than lighter ones)
3. Total of all dimensions of the box. (a
larger box cost more than a smaller box even if the 2
boxes each
weigh the same)
4. Dimensional weight. The calculated weight is
higher than the actual weight based on the total
dimensions of
the box. (example; the box weighs 10 lbs but is charged as if it
weighed 15 lbs
because it is considered oversize)
4. Insurance
to cover shipping damages or loss of package.
5. Extended area
surcharge. (applies to rural locations only)
6. Residential
delivery surcharge. (UPS charges more shipping to a residence than a
commercial location)
7. Signature required on delivery of
package. (we give you the option to purchase this option)
So
why does it cost less to send it to us than the cost to get it
shipped back?
1. We are a business. (no residential delivery
charge)
2. We are not in a rural location. (no extended area
surcharge)
3. Most boxes we receive are to small for safe packing
of your unit. We almost always use a
larger box to return your
unit. (higher dimensional weight)
4. You may not have insured
your package when you sent it to us. (we always insure)
5. We add
a nominal handling and packing fee to each package. |
