Shipping Policy – sanitaryware-us.com
Thank you for shopping at sanitaryware-us.com, your trusted source for genuine Sanitaryware bathroom and kitchen products. This Shipping Policy outlines everything you need to know about how we prepare, protect, and deliver your orders. Please read it carefully before completing your purchase. By placing an order on sanitaryware-us.com, you agree to the terms described below.
Order Processing
Once you submit an order through sanitaryware-us.com, our team begins preparing your Sanitaryware products for shipment. All orders go through a verification and quality check process. We inspect every Sanitaryware item for visible defects, ensure that all parts and accessories listed are included, and confirm that factory packaging remains intact. This step is essential because Sanitaryware products are precision-engineered fixtures—damaged or incomplete items can lead to installation delays and performance issues.
Processing typically begins within a reasonable period after order placement. During peak seasons or when dealing with large-volume orders (such as multiple Sanitaryware toilets or full bathroom suites), processing may take slightly longer. We will notify you once your order has moved from processing to the shipping stage. If any item is out of stock or backordered, we will inform you as soon as possible so you can choose an alternative Sanitaryware product or adjust your order accordingly.
Shipping Carriers and Methods
We partner with reputable national and regional carriers to deliver Sanitaryware products safely to your doorstep. The carrier assigned to your order depends on several factors, including the size and weight of the items, your location, and the shipping method selected at checkout. Common carriers used by sanitaryware-us.com include ground freight services for heavy items like Sanitaryware cast iron sinks or ceramic toilets, and parcel carriers for smaller components such as faucets, cartridges, or trim kits.
You may choose from different shipping methods during checkout. Standard shipping is suitable for most Sanitaryware products and offers a balance of reliability and cost. Expedited shipping may be available for smaller, in-stock items. Please note that certain oversized or unusually heavy Sanitaryware products—for example, jetted bathtubs or multiple toilet pallets—may require special freight handling. In such cases, sanitaryware-us.com will contact you directly to coordinate delivery access and any additional requirements.
Delivery Area
sanitaryware-us.com ships Sanitaryware products to addresses within the continental United States. At this time, we do not ship to PO boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or international destinations. If you reside in Hawaii, Alaska, or US territories, please contact us before placing your order to determine if shipping can be arranged for your specific Sanitaryware items. Remote or rural locations may have limited carrier coverage, which could affect delivery options.
Inspection Upon Delivery
Because Sanitaryware products include delicate materials such as vitreous china, glass, and finished brass or nickel surfaces, we strongly recommend that you inspect every package immediately upon delivery. If you notice any of the following, document it thoroughly before accepting the shipment:
- Visible damage to the outer box (crushed corners, punctures, wet spots, or torn areas)
- Sounds of broken ceramic or loose parts inside the package
- Missing packages or items that appear to have been opened previously
If the carrier delivers your Sanitaryware products and visible damage exists, you have the right to refuse the shipment. Note the damage on the carrier’s delivery form and take photographs. Then notify sanitaryware-us.com as soon as possible. If you accept a package and later discover concealed damage (damage not visible on the outside), contact us within a reasonable timeframe. We will work with you and the carrier to resolve the issue, including arranging for replacement Sanitaryware products when appropriate.
Do not install any damaged Sanitaryware product. Installation constitutes acceptance of the product’s condition and may limit your ability to make a claim. Keep all original packaging materials until you have fully inspected the item. The packaging is often necessary for carrier damage investigations.
Signature Requirement
For high-value Sanitaryware orders or large shipments (such as complete toilet assemblies or multi-piece shower systems), a signature may be required upon delivery. This protects both you and sanitaryware-us.com from theft or misdelivery. If you prefer to waive the signature requirement, you may do so during checkout, but please understand that doing so transfers responsibility for the shipment once the carrier marks it as delivered. We cannot replace Sanitaryware products reported missing from a delivery location when no signature was required.
Incorrect Shipping Information
You are responsible for providing accurate and complete shipping information when placing your order on sanitaryware-us.com. Before finalizing your purchase, double-check the street address, apartment or suite number, city, state, and ZIP code. If you realize that you entered incorrect information after the order has been submitted, contact us immediately. Once a Sanitaryware product has been picked up by the carrier, we may no longer be able to redirect the package. Packages returned to us due to incorrect addresses will be subject to additional handling before reshipment.
Split Shipments
If your order contains multiple Sanitaryware items of different sizes or from different warehouses, we may send them in separate shipments. You will receive tracking information for each individual package. For example, a Sanitaryware faucet might ship via a parcel carrier, while a matching ceramic sink ships via freight. Do not be alarmed if you receive only part of your order at first—the remaining items will follow. Each tracking number represents one box or pallet.
Weather or Carrier Delays
sanitaryware-us.com is not responsible for delivery delays caused by circumstances beyond our control, including severe weather, natural disasters, carrier labor disputes, or other force majeure events. Sanitaryware products are often heavy and packaged on pallets, which can be affected by extreme conditions. We will do our best to communicate any known carrier delays, but we recommend that you monitor your tracking information directly for the most current updates.
Lost or Stolen Packages
If the carrier marks your Sanitaryware shipment as delivered but you cannot find it, first check around your property (porch, garage, side door, or leasing office). Ask household members or neighbors if they accepted a package on your behalf. If the package remains missing after a thorough search, contact the carrier directly with your tracking number. For theft-related issues, we recommend filing a police report. sanitaryware-us.com will assist with carrier claims where appropriate, but we cannot automatically replace Sanitaryware products marked as delivered to the correct address.
Damaged in Transit – Your Responsibility
To protect your rights regarding damaged Sanitaryware shipments, always follow these steps:
- Do not discard any original packaging.
- Take clear photos of the damage (both box and product).
- Keep the product in the condition it arrived.
- Contact sanitaryware-us.com as soon as possible with your order number and documentation.
Failure to follow these steps may limit our ability to file a successful claim with the carrier. We want you to receive flawless Sanitaryware products, and we will make every reasonable effort to resolve damage claims quickly.
