Terms of service

Terms that apply when you ship with us.

Shipping contract

When you tender a shipment, you agree to the carrier rules and tariffs in effect at the time the shipment is created.

Prohibited items

Hazardous goods, weapons, currency, and other restricted commodities cannot be shipped without prior written authorization.

Packaging

Items must be packaged to withstand normal handling. Improperly packaged shipments may be refused or excluded from claims.

Delivery commitments

Service-level transit times are estimates and exclude weather, customs, and force-majeure delays. Money-back guarantees may apply to specific services.

Charges and billing

Quoted rates may be re-rated based on actual weight, dimensions, and accessorials measured at the terminal. Invoices are due net 15 unless otherwise agreed.

Claims

Visible damage must be noted at delivery. Concealed damage and loss claims must be filed within nine months of the tender date with supporting documentation.

Liability

Default liability is limited to the lesser of declared value or statutory tariff limits. Additional coverage is available at the time of shipment.
