Cancellations: All order cancellations must be approved by NIS. Cancellations for material handling, shelving, rack, cabinets, and made-to-order items are subject to a cancellation fee of up to 25%. 

NOTE: Shipments that have been inspected and packaged are considered "shipped". Cancellations for shipped items are subject to an up to 25% restocking fees and cancellation and return fees by the carrier. 

Custom, non-standard, large quantity orders, and some made-to-order products are non-cancelable and non-returnable. NIS, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to change its payment terms on all orders.

Sales Tax: With certain exceptions, other than New Jersey, NIS is not required to collect state sales tax. Sales tax may be required if items are shipping from and delivering within the same state. Customer is responsible for payment of all applicable state and local taxes, or for providing a valid sales tax exemption certificate. Laws regarding the collection of sales tax vary by location and undergo frequent change in content as well as interpretation by governmental agencies.  NIS will always make every effort to fully comply with the law and governmental regulations.  If sales tax is required, you will be contacted to either pay the tax or provide your tax exemption certificate.

TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS

Shipping: NIS offers three standard modes of shipping and are defined as follows:

1. Best-way F.O.B. Origin Freight Pre-Paid and Charged to Buyer on Order/Invoice: All items purchased from NIS are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of damage, loss and title for such items pass to buyer upon Manufacturer/Distributor’s delivery of items to the freight carrier, i.e., loaded on the truck for delivery. Buyer bears freight charges, buyer owns goods in transit & buyer files claims (if any) directly with the freight carrier.

Shipping Location and delivery-requirements information: Customer is responsible for the provision and accuracy of shipping-destination requirements information including: Zip Code, Location Type, Loading Dock/ Forklift Availability, Call Notification Requirements and Availability to receive delivery.  If, at the time of delivery, shipping delivery requirements and information has changed, customer is responsible for any and all additional delivery charges assessed based on those changes.

Note: Freight carriers reserve the right to assess additional fees to the customer in the event of inaccurate shipping location and delivery requirements information.

For example, if a customer indicated that he/she has a loading dock or forklift at the destination to receive delivery, but at the time of delivery he/she does not, then customer will be subject to additional re-delivery and lift gate fees.  If a customer is not available when a delivery is made, but the customer did not indicate needing the Appointment Call requirement, then the customer will be subject to additional re-delivery fees.  

In the event that a shipment was unable to be delivered due to customer inaccuracy regarding shipping location and delivery-requirements information, and the issue is not resolved in a timely manner, the customer, in addition to re-delivery fees, may also be subject to additional storage fees assessed by the freight carrier.

Freight class and weight changes can effect actual shipping price at time of shipment: All Best-way FOB quotes, are "quotes" and may not reflect actual shipping cost at time of shipment, and, therefore, are subject to change. Freight classes and weights are provided by product manufacturers and distributors and based on the National Motor Freight Classifications. NIS uses tremendous care and caution when adding product shipping information to the Site. NIS uses information directly from NIS’ manufacturers and suppliers and presents it to the customer as accurately as NIS is able. However, errors and omissions can and do occur from time to time.  If an error or change is identified, NIS reserves the right to change the Best-way shipping price and the customer will be notified prior to shipping the products.

Freight classes are determined by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association and are applied to commodities by freight carriers, who reserve the right to reclassify commodities based on their characteristics on a per-shipmment basis. This means that the actual cost of shipping can vary from Best-way Shipping quotes. According to the NMFTA "Commodities are grouped into one of 18 classes—from a low of class 50 to a high of class 500—based on an evaluation of four transportation characteristics: density, handling, stowability and liability." The NMFTA continuously reviews the transportability of freight classes and has and will re-class commodities according to thier characteristics. Shipping class re-classifications has and will directly effect Best-way shipping quotes. 

2. F.O.B. Origin Freight Collect: Buyer pays freight, Buyer bears freight charges, buyer owns goods in transit. Risk of damage, loss and title for such items pass to buyer upon Manufacturer/Distributor’s delivery of items to the freight carrier, i.e., loaded for delivery & buyer files claims (if any) directly with the carrier. Note: Items may ship from different locations; Buyer responsible for additional freight charges.

3. F.O.B Origin - Free Shipping:  Free shipping order may not be cancelled. Our distribution centers are immediately notified of the order and the items are picked and packed for shipment. For qualified items, free shipping is offered for "Dock-to-Dock" commercial locations with a loading dock or fork lift, within the contiguous 48 United States only and does NOT include Residential, Lift Gate Service, Military Base, Limited Access, Inside Delivery, or any other required services.  Locations that require additional services are subject to extra charges. Buyer owns goods in transit. Risk of damage, loss and title for such items pass to buyer upon Manufacturer/Distributor’s delivery of items to the freight carrier, i.e., loaded for delivery & buyer files claims (if any) directly with the carrier.  

Buyer’s Responsibility: All items are inspected prior to delivery. NIS' responsibility for title, loss and damage ceases when the products are accepted for shipment by the carrier. Ownership of items, risk of damages and/or loss of items belong to Buyer once items have been inspected and accepted for delivery by the freight/parcel carrier. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to inspect all items (inside and outside of packaging) prior to agreeing to receive items and prior to signing delivery receipt.

Damaged Shipments, Risk of Loss: Freight/Parcel Carriers will not accept claims if damage is not noted at the time of delivery on the delivery receipt. If damage has occurred, Buyer must note the extent of the damage on the delivery receipt and call the delivery company immediately. Contact NIS immediately after you have contacted the carrier.

To protect Buyer interests, it is strongly suggested that you thoroughly check all items before accepting delivery.

Returns: NIS strives to make doing business as easy as possible. Please call 800-757-1064 for a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number. NOTE: returns will not be accepted unless accompanied by this number and must be written on the return shipping label.

Returned goods will not be accepted without permission from NIS.  A standard 15% (and up to 25%) restocking and handling charge shall be made on all approved returns. NOTE: Some manufacturers charge up to a 25% restocking and handling charge as well as a reconditioning charge if required, as determined by the manufacturer. Custom made products, made-to-order products and large quantity orders are non-returnable, non-cancelable and non-refundable.

Claims for wrong-item discrepancies in shipment must be made within 7 days of receipt of merchandise or they will not be accepted. Altered or etched items will not be accepted.

Returns NOTE: direct-ship, non-stock, made-to-order and discontinued-item, and large quantity returns: Many manufacturers will not accept direct-ship, non-stock, made-to-order, large quantity and discontinued-item returns. Such purchases, where Nationwide Industrial Supply is able to procure these items directly from the manufacturer, are subject to the manufacturer’s return policy and are non-cancelable and non-refundable.
