Shipping Days:
We ship large LLE products ( such as chutes, feeders, and panels) within 72 hours of placing the order. (usually Mon-Wed-Fri). Combining shipments to one day is more efficient from a labor standpoint and from a freight rate standpoint. By combining orders to go out on one day as opposed to smaller amounts on multiple days we avoid up charges from the carrier and help preserve our national discounted contract rate.

Minimum Shipping Charges:
There are minimum charges to move any kind of freight. The cost to roll the truck into my facility to load and the cost to roll into your location to unload are the same whether the driver is handling one pallet at 200 lbs or 3 pallets at 1500 lbs. Therefore the price for shipping one 4’ Double Sided Feeder at 100 lbs is the same as it is for two 4’ DSFs at a total of 200 lbs. Depending on distance, 220 - 250 lbs of product is an approximate breaking point under which all shipments cost the same to move.

Damages:
While every effort is made to handle and package your order with care some scratching and scuffing is inevitable in handling the products. And while we have worked with UPS to determine the best way to package our materials to reduce damage in transit damages do sometimes still occur.

In the unlikely event that a damage claim is needed, a notation of damage on the original bill of lading will be required. Please check all products over very carefully while the driver is there and note any damage on the bill of lading before the driver leaves. Please also notify me of any damage within 24 hours so I can start the claim process.

NO CLAIMS FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE CAN BE MADE TO CARRIERS BY LLE AFTER THE DRIVER HAS LEFT. Any claims not documented by the customer w/ the driver will be the responsibility of the customer and will require a call by the customer to the local UPS Freight service center within 24 hours notify them of the damage and ask about a claim.

As long as the damage is well documented on the BOL, we’ll handle filing a claim with UPS Freight and providing replacement products at no charge.

Group/Regional Orders:
We have worked successfully with two farms combining orders all the way up to regional farm groups that consolidated orders for the advantage of their membership.

We can combine orders for any number of farms to ship to one farm or other business and reduce the shipping costs. As outlined above, there are minimum charges to move a shipment. By combining orders these base charges are spread over multiple orders therefore reducing everyone’s shipping costs. The ordering process is very easy for group members.
Case study on Group/Regional ordering

We will handle all of the following:

           Accepting the orders via whatever method each member chooses (phone, e-mail, web order, fax)

           Process all payments (check or credit card)

           Coordinate the consolidation and shipping of all orders to one location

           Calculate the shipping for each group member’s order prorated on the freight of each order as a portion of the
           whole.

           Invoice each group member directly with the appropriate amount of reduced freight. Simple and cost saving
