Shipping & Delivery

DELIVERY

At Pellets Direct™, we want to meet your expectations. We are committed to the successful completion of your home delivery on the first attempt. All Delivery Charges are to be considered Trip Charges to your shipping address. All Delivery/Trip Charges are truck-friendly mile based. Pellets Direct™ will adjust the Delivery/Trip fee to the appropriate selection before processing payment if needed. Once the truck leaves our yard with your product on board, Delivery/Trip charges are non-refundable. We ask that you confirm your delivery date and that an adult, 18 years old or older, who is responsible for inspecting and accepting the merchandise, be at home to accept the delivery. If you are not home when we deliver, you will be charged a redelivery/trip charge, and the original delivery/trip is non-refundable. We do understand that emergencies may occur. However, Pellets Direct™ needs at least 24 hours notice in advance. Delivery/Trip Charge is a non-refundable item on the invoice. This applies if a customer refuses to load the day of delivery for any reason, including but not limited to timing issues or if they do not like the product. Delivery time frames are rough estimates as to when the truck will arrive. There are many reasons trucks may arrive early or late on the day of delivery. Pellets Direct™ will make every attempt to deliver the product to the desired well-marked area as access allows. An alternative placement area must be offered for non-accessible areas.

Please make sure the area and pathway to the specific placement spot are free from any obstructions, and pathways must be secure to withstand the load of the product being delivered, as well as the equipment to deliver the product. All septic systems, wells, or other possible underground or hidden structures must be clearly marked so Pellets Direct™ drivers and equipment can avoid these areas. Pellets Direct™ and its employees cannot be held responsible or liable for damage caused by the extreme weight of product and equipment when asked to deliver beyond the curb. Pellets Direct™ abides by zoning laws that may affect the placement of the product, including but not limited to the non-placement of the product on a roadway or sidewalk area that may block access. When choosing the Put Product in Garage Option, keep in mind that you are paying for specialized equipment capable of accessing the most common garage areas. This equipment can limit the amount of product that can be carried by our trucks. As such, this fee is not refundable for any reason. If, for any reason, the driver cannot access the garage or placement area, an alternative placement area will be used at the driver's discretion. If once the driver arrives at your location, someone at the location directs the driver to place the product in a garage or covered location, the garage placement fee will be added (if not already selected)to your delivery and charged to the payment method used when placing the order. The Garage Placement Fee is not refundable. By finalizing and placing this order, you, the customer, agree to accept full responsibility for any issues or damage that may occur due to the size and weight of trucks or equipment. If Pellets Direct™ delivery persons feel the area is unsafe and/or unfriendly to enter, Pellets Direct™ holds the option to decline to deliver in that area. At that point, merchandise can and will be put in another area at that address, and the customer will be responsible for bringing it to the house. If the customer cancels the order or refuses to take delivery of a product that cannot be placed in the desired spot due to the area not being safe or accessible, the customer is responsible for a non-refundable delivery charge along with a returning service charge of 15% of the total order which will be taken off the refund of the sales slip. Pellets Direct™ delivery people are not permitted to detach or move any merchandise that is in the area for the new merchandise. Covid-19 update--Due to social distancing requirements as well as our policy of no contact delivery, agreeing to these terms and conditions shall constitute an executed successful delivery once our driver has delivered your product.

Any pellets that have been purchased, picked up, and/or delivered that the customer request to be returned/refunded that cannot be swapped out with another pellet will be subject to a 15% restocking fee. If the product can be swapped out, a non-refundable delivery/trip fee will apply. All products coming back to Pellets Direct™ must be in the same condition it was delivered in - not damaged and secured with the same pellet cover and shrink wrap.

Pellets Direct guarantees that product delivered is in ready to burn condition. Product that has been placed in an outdoor location has no further warranty as we no longer have control of environmental conditions. Product placed in to a garage carries a 10 day warranty. Claim for damaged products must be received within 10 days from the date of delivery. If the product is damaged due to Pellets Direct™ or the manufacturer, the customer needs to call and e-mail pictures. Once pictures are reviewed, a manager will call with a solution. If the product is damaged due to where the customer has stored the product, Pellets Direct™ is not responsible for any reimbursement on that product. Any claims made after 10 days after the product has been delivered will be handled on an individual basis with a manager and are NOT guaranteed a refund or replacement of the product. All orders must be confirmed by the customer in order for Pellets Direct to process the payment and schedule the delivery. If the customer delays the confirmation of the order, that order is subject to change for the pricing for what the product would be sold for when the confirmation does arrive. All orders placed online or via phone include in the pricing a non-refundable $75 processing fee. If the order has to be canceled or refunded for any reason, the non-refundable $75 processing fee will still apply. Any e-mail inquiries that are sent via e-mail for a product are not an order until it is confirmed with a sales representative at Pellets Direct™.

Any orders placed for immediate pick-up or delivery or with delayed delivery with free storage will be charged to the credit card used in placing the order once the order is confirmed by our office via phone or confirmation e-mail. Any items sold as a special thru Pellets Direct™ as a final sale or cash-n-carry are all priced accordingly to compensate for any damage that may be with the pellets/skids. These items are all SOLD "AS IS," and NO Refunds or Exchanges will be permitted. Pellets Direct™ does not warrant or guarantee the performance of any pellet or other heating fuel in any particular stove or burning unit. All wood pellets and other alternative heating fuels are backed by a specific manufacturer. Pellets Direct™ will replace or credit purchases only when authorized by the manufacturer. Pellets Direct™ strongly recommends and encourages all products to be tried before purchasing full pallets. Please be aware that all wood pellets and other alternative heating fuels can vary in performance from bag to bag and pallet to a pallet and that all test results come from manufacturers and independent third-party testing labs.

CANCELLATION:

Any special orders of a pellets stove that are canceled after 5 days will be subject to a 15% special order restocking fee for
the total price of the order.

Miscellaneous

PICK-UPS

Any product being picked up by anyone else other than the person who placed the order will need to call ahead to get authorization from a manager. This policy protects our customers to ensure they get the product they ordered. ALL pick-ups must be made in the time allocated on the original invoice. If the product is not picked up by the said customer within that timeframe, Pellets Direct™ holds the right to change the pricing on order to the current market price, and the customer is responsible for paying at that time before the product can leave the yard. If said customer processes a stop payment or a claim with their credit card company on order for this said reason, they will be responsible for all fees incurred to Pellets Direct™ from the merchant provider and the interest on the money due to Pellets Direct.
