Large Order Shipments

• Freight shipments will be unloaded curbside. It is your responsibility to arrange movement of the materials beyond this point. Delivery personnel are not permitted to enter a customer’s home at any time.
• It is your responsibility to arrange for assistance carrying the shipment into your home if it is needed; delivery personnel are not permitted to assist with this in any way.

Please make sure that there is someone at the delivery location that can handle the material. Boxes can weigh anywhere from 30 lbs. for laminate and vinyl and up to 80 lbs. for hardwood. If your residence isn’t accessible by a semi truck please choose business or service center (freight terminal) pick-up.

Damage or lost material during shipment is rare and if you follow the steps outlined below replacement materials will be sent promptly.

Damaged Material

Unfortunately, because of the fragile nature of tile, we cannot ship tile. We do, however, offer the ability to will-call tile from locations throughout the country depending on the vendor. Contact one of our sales representatives for more information.

You must inspect all materials and sign for your order upon delivery. If you find discrepancies, DO NOT REFUSE DELIVERY OF DAMAGED MATERIAL. ACCEPT THE DAMAGED MATERIAL, have driver sign delivery receipt noting discrepancies, take photos of the damage and email both photo’s and delivery receipt to falisha@flooringliquidators.net immediately.

You must notify us of any damage or missing items within twenty-four hours of receiving your shipment. Damaged material must be available for carrier inspection.

Whoever receives the delivery must check the shipment for the proper item numbers and quantity before they accept delivery. Note missing items on the driver’s Bill of Lading. We cannot be responsible for missing items not noted at the time of delivery.

Damage during shipment is very rare. However, in the event you do receive damaged material it will be replaced if you follow these instructions:

When the shipment arrives, check for damaged boxes, underlayment, molding, etc. If there is any damaged material you MUST accept all of the material and note the damage on the driver’s Bill of Lading. Only damaged material noted on the driver’s paperwork can be replaced.

Do not refuse delivery of damaged material. Accept the damaged material, note it on the driver’s paperwork as described above, and save the material. The freight company may want to inspect or pick-up the damaged material. If you refuse delivery of any items you will be responsible for all shipping charges and restock fees.

REMEMBER

INSPECT

Inspect your shipment for any damage or missing items. You have the right to inspect your shipment before signing for it.

ACCEPT

DO NOT REFUSE ANY PART OF YOUR SHIPMENT. If your shipment is refused, it will take longer for you to receive your flooring, and you may be subject to additional charges. Accept all of your shipment.

NOTATE

If there are any damages or missing items it must be noted by you on the delivery receipt and signed by the delivery driver, otherwise we cannot send replacement product or issue refunds.

FLOORING LIQUIDATORS WILL NOT ISSUE REFUNDS OR REPLACEMENT MATERIAL IF YOU DO NOT NOTATE DAMAGE ON THE DELIVERY RECEIPT AND GET A DRIVERS SIGNATURE ACKNOWLEDGING THE DAMAGE. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY. PROTECT YOURSELF.

During delivery you may notice a carton where the box is torn or ripped. In most cases the flooring itself isn’t damaged. If you do receive a box with a couple of damaged pieces the best thing to do is use the damaged pieces for cuts.

Other services including lift-gate and inside delivery may be available through the freight company when they schedule your delivery. You will be responsible for any fees for those services. Please note request for lift gate services may delay delivery.

Laminate Maintenance

Your laminate floors are designed to be durable and look great for many years – but only with the proper care! Follow Flooring Liquidators’ helpful laminate maintenance guide to ensure your investment stays clean and in perfect shape.

Regular care

Sweep or dust mop your laminate, but never soak or use a wet mop. While the top wear layer is highly water-resistant to stand up to spills, the gaps between tiles are not. Wetting these can warp your floors and cause them to swell. Spills should be cleaned immediately when they happen using a clean, damp cloth to prevent moisture from soaking.

Prevent damage

Laminate is highly scratch-resistant, but you should still take care of it. Cover the feet of all furniture with felt pads to protect your laminate from dents and scratches. You should also keep pet nails trim.
