AND

COMMON CARRIER / LTL FREIGHT CARRIER SERVICE

Our only interest is exceeding your expectation. We have made the shipping process as simple as possible. All shipments are F.O.B. Factory Milpitas, CA All shipments are sent freight collect via your specified preferred carrier. UPS does not handle this size freight. We need a tractor trailer for shipment.

All orders specified to ship freight “Pre-Paid and Bill” will be charged an additional handling/billing fee of 20% of the freight bill.

Freight Via Blanket Wrap Carrier

On orders of 10 carts or more, we recommend shipment via a blanket wrap carrier. This typically costs significantly more for the freight, but you will save a similar amount on handling, unwrapping, de-trashing, fully burdened labor, and the cost of hauling away the non-reusable pallets. This also virtually eliminates the chance of any freight damage. If you elect to use a blanket wrap carrier, they must supply the necessary labor and blankets to wrap the carts and load the truck, Bliss Industries can supply this labor at additional cost. We also highly recommend the use of a truck with a lift gate. If you elect to use this service, here is how the process works.

You determine the blanket wrap carrier to use. Bliss Industries recommends Legacy Transportation Service an agent for United Van Lines. They are based in Mountain View, CA, but they service the globe.

You state the carrier on your written Purchase order to Bliss, freight collect. Bliss will schedule the carrier into our facility on the appropriate date and time.

The carrier wraps blankets around each cart, similar to moving furniture. The carrier then loads the carts onto their truck and straps them to the wall of the truck.

The carrier leaves our facility and goes back to their dock to either add an additional load to fill the trailer or if the carts fill the trailer then they schedule the trailer to be brought to your plant. When it arrives they unload it and take the blankets off.

You now have your carts on your plant floor ready to go. No extra handling, no cardboard to remove, no pallets to pay to have hauled away, no heavy lifting of the carts off the pallets, no back injuries. This truly is as good as it gets when it comes to freight handling, and virtually no chance of freight damage to deal with.

Freight Via Common Carrier

Every reasonable effort has been made to protect Bliss products from freight damage during transit via common carrier, we put the cart on a custom built pallet and stretch wrap the cart. Then we wrap it in cardboard. Next, we strap it to the pallet and then stretch wrap it gain. This works very well. However, on rare occasions, freight damage does occur. Please instruct your receiving department to carefully check the cardboard wrapping and the wood pallet to be sure these are intact. In the event of any damage it is mandatory to note it on the original bill of lading upon delivery. Carriers will not process claims without proper notation on the bill of lading at the time of delivery. Bliss industries will help in any way possible with a freight damage claim. However, we will not assume any financial responsibility once the shipment leaves our shipping dock as we do not control the carrier and all shipments are F.O.B. Milpitas, CA.
