If your order requires delivery via common carrier, your delivery site must be able to accommodate a large delivery truck (including delivery by trucks pulling trailers up to 53′ in length). Please check your site for low hanging wires and clearance restrictions directly in front of the delivery address. These may create obstacles that could affect delivery. In addition, a lift gate, and or forklift may be required for offloading and are the customer’s responsibility.

Adventure Playground Systems is not responsible for inaccurate or undeliverable addresses.
Products usually arrive 3-7 days from the date of departure from our facility. Customer is responsible for an additional redelivery fee if the delivery truck arrives, but the customer/agent is not present or able to accept delivery.

DELIVERY & UNLOADING

If installation services are purchased with your order, an Adventure Playground Systems installer will unload the delivered merchandise. If the installation is not purchased, unloading of equipment and inspection of incoming goods at the time of delivery is the customer’s responsibility. Most freight deliveries require personnel and/or a forklift for the safe unloading of goods. The driver will not assist in unloading the delivered merchandise. Please notify Adventure Playground Systems prior to delivery if special conditions need to be addressed, additional charges may apply.

DAMAGED SHIPMENTS

Please note any shortages or damage on the bill of lading as soon as you okay to receive the delivery. In the event of damage, we will be happy to assist you with filing a freight claim to receive a replacement product.

Damage found after the shipment is unpacked (concealed damage) must be reported to an Adventure Play Expert within 48 hours of delivery. Please closely inspect your shipment! Most freight companies allow 72 hours from receipt to report concealed damage. DIGITAL PHOTOS MUST BE TAKEN. If you discover damage of any kind, DO NOT DESTROY ANY ORIGINAL SHIPPING CARTONS. If the condition of delivered freight before unloading indicates possible damage (damage to carton/pallet/crate), take pictures before unloading cartons.
