Freight
| All items shipped are subject to Declared Value. To decline the Declared Value on your shipment, it must clearly be indicated on your purchase order. By declining the Declared Value, the buyer must supply their carrier’s account number as the order will be shipped 3rd party. The buyer assumes all responsibility for the shipment once it has left our warehouse. Shortage or damage in shipment does not excuse the buyer from timely and full payment of the invoice.
Unless we are advised otherwise, back orders will be shipped when the product arrives. If early shipment is requested, then freight charges become the customer’s responsibility. On prepaid shipments, Omcan retains the right to choose the carrier. Split shipments or back orders are not allowed on prepaid orders. Should the customer request a split or partial shipment, freight charges then become the customer’s responsibility. Any accessorial freight charges are not included in prepaid shipping.

If there are unforeseen delays, then Omcan is not responsible for lost sale or any other monetary compensation relating to the estimated delivery time. Certain Items are required to be shipped on a pallet due to weight, size, product type, and packaging constraints. Items of this nature are indicated in the Price List with a Delivery Truck Icon.
