Shipping & Warranty Policy

Bienenstock works with reliable carriers for all shipments. All shipments are insured in case items are lost or damaged. Bienenstock's shipping price includes this insurance. Bienenstock's shipping price includes brokerage and duties when orders are delivering to the United States (except for Durolawn). Due to the awkward sizing of our components, most items will ship on a 4'x8', 4'x5'or 4'x4' pallets or require a combination of these pallets.

Orders of products from Bienenstock (“Components”) will ship within 8-10 weeks.

Delivery schedules are approximate and are based on prevailing market conditions at the time of this order. 

When the order is packaged and ready to ship, Bienenstock will send you photos and description of all Components on the order.

The carrier will contact you ahead of the delivery date to coordinate the delivery time. Your delivery is FOB your parking lot. The Client’s receiver must be present to sign for the shipment. All deliveries are fully insured. Bienenstock has photos and paperwork for all shipments in perfect condition as they leave our warehouse. It is the Client's responsibility to check that everything on the order has been received and that everything has arrived free of damage. The Client's receiver must take photos and make a note on the paperwork of any deficiency or damage and the driver will ask the Client's receiver to sign so that a claim can be made and the shipping error can be rectified. Bienenstock’s liability and obligation for delivery of any damaged Components is limited to the repair or replacement of the damaged Component.

Unless otherwise expressly stipulated, the Components shall be installed by and at the risk and expense of the Client.
