FREIGHT CLAIMS
We assure that products are in good condition prior to packing and shipping. We are not responsible for shipments after they leave our warehouse. The carrier signs for acceptance at that time. Customers must examine all arriving shipments for evidence of damage or breakage, and must refuse acceptance or file a claim with the carrier for compensation. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN AHC BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE IN UPS or FED EX SHIPMENTS.
SHIPPING POINT
All shipments are FOB AHC warehouse, Thomasville, North Carolina and Portsmouth, Virginia.
SHIPPING METHOD
We ship via the least expensive, not necessarily the fastest, carriers. If you have a preferred carrier, we welcome the information and will ship via that carrier. For basic ground transportation services, you may be asked to pay a premium for custom selected carriers. If you request any type of expedited ground transport or air transport services, you are responsible to pay the entire freight services charge for such shipments.
SHIPPING CHARGES
Shipping charges for an order (or any back order) are calculated based upon the original order total.

The above shipping rates apply only to basic ground transportation for the shipment of single orders made to one destination at one time within the Continental U.S. We contract with LTL freight carriers (such as Yellow Freight Lines) for standard commercial delivery only. Residential delivery or accessorial services that you may require from an LTL carrier (such as inside delivery, re-delivery, call for appointment, lift gate request, etc.), will incur freight charges that are in addition to the freight rates stated above. If you advise us that you need such services when you place your order, we will prepay for the services and add them to your invoice. Otherwise, the freight carrier or AHC will bill you for such additional services. Parcel shipments (such as UPS) will not incur additional freight charges for residential delivery or accessorial services.
