POLICIES
As a convenience to our customers, we accept payments via Discover, VISA, MasterCard, and American Express. A 3% processing fee will be applied for all credit card transactions.
​
We require all orders to be paid in full before they are scheduled for production.
​
We accept payment via cash and check. No third party checks will be accepted. If prepaying via check, material will be released for will-call or shipment after the check clears.
​
For customers with good credit history, we offer Net 30 terms upon approval of a completed credit application. Please note that interest is charged to all customers on invoices not paid within the Net 30 terms at the rate of 2% per month, or subject to a charge of $5.00, whichever is greater. Accounts that have exceeded the established credit limit and/or that are past due will be placed on hold, pending payment. We will continue to provide quotes, takeoffs and sales orders as requested to prevent any possible delays in production, however we will not release material for will-call or shipment while the account is on hold.
When picking up orders, the customer is responsible for confirming that the order quantities are correct. All materials are to be checked off on the provided materials list as loading occurs to verify full receipt of the order.
​
The customer must report any visibly damaged material and missing or incorrect items within two business days after pick-up time.
AS&D will store will-call orders up to two weeks after the time the customer is notified their material is available for pick up. After two weeks, materials are subject to a 25% restocking fee with the balance refunded to the customer. All custom-ordered and fabricated items will be charged at full price. This includes, but is not limited to, swaged cables, custom cutting, custom hardware, and non-stocked/non-standard inventory purchases.
​
If the customer reorders the materials after they have been restocked, then standard lead times will still apply.
The customer is responsible for unloading materials at the delivery location. If a forklift is required, it is the responsibility of the customer to provide one.
​
A materials list is provided with all shipments. The customer has within two business days after the delivery date to inspect materials & report any missing or incorrect items.
​
If a freight delivery arrives with visible damage or signs of damage, the customer must note on the delivery driver’s BOL (bill of lading) that there was damage and that a closer inspection of materials will follow. Customer must then notify AS&D with a detailed list of damaged products within 24 hours of delivery so that a claim can be made with the freight company. AS&D requires customers to take representative photos of damaged materials to assist with the claims process.
​
If the customer reports damaged or missing items within the specified time frame, AS&D will promptly arrange for the materials to be replaced. If the damaged or missing item claim is not received within the specified time frame, then the customer is responsible for replacement costs.
The customer is responsible for scheduling the shipment via the company of their choice once AS&D has notified them that their order is ready for transit. The customer will pay the shipping cost and is responsible for any materials that are damaged while in transit.
​
If damage occurs during transit the customer is solely responsible for submitting a claim to the freight company for reimbursement of the damaged materials. The customer may contact AS&D to order replacement materials at their own cost. All disputes with the freight company shall be handled by the customer. AS&D’s responsibility for the shipment ends when the shipment leaves the loading dock.
