Receiving Your Order

We use common freight carrier for our deliveries. We offer only CURBSIDE DROPOFF unless specifically requested by the customer. Unless specifically requested, no truck lift-gate service is ordered for delivery. If you need another type of delivery please contact the freight carrier directly. Contact details will be emailed to you the day after shipping.

When receiving your order, you are responsible for the following:

Count all pieces of your freight. Ensures that all pieces are accounted for before you sign for them (for example, if you have signed for 5 pieces, but only received 4 pieces it will be assumed by Bath Trends and the freight carrier that you have actually received 5 pieces).

Check shipment for any visible damage to containers. If the boxes are dented, crushed, scratched, punctured, or cut it is very important to mark this on the bill of landing. If there is a possibility of damage it may be necessary to open the box and mark the actual damage on the bill of landing. It is important to be specific. See refusing shipment for more details.

Check the contents (inside) all boxes before the driver leaves to ensure that the contents do not have concealed damage. Due to the nature of the products we sell, boxes that have been dropped may not show obvious signs of external damage. This is very unusual, but it could happen. The driver may refuse to allow you the time to open specific boxes – if this is the case, open the boxes as soon as possible, but no later than 5 business days after the delivery, to inspect for damage.

If we need to replace a damaged item it is in your best interest to contact us immediately, so we don’t sell out of this item during the time you waited to report the issue. It the item is no longer available, customer service will assist you to make alternative arrangements, or arrange a refund.
Purchaser agrees to indemnify Bath Trends in full for any damages or liability that it incurs related to the delivery of merchandise or product that is caused by any negligence or omission on the part of the purchaser.

Damages & Refusing A Freight Shipment

If the shipment is damaged and unusable, it may be necessary to refuse part or all of the order. Call our shipping department at (800) 413 2701 before refusing any shipment. Bath Trends will assist in filling a freight claim for damaged freight if the carrier is our normal in-house carrier. If the carrier was chosen by the consignee then it will be the responsibility of the consignee to file such a claim. Should a shipment arrive with damages caused by the carrier, the carrier will return the merchandise “Dead Head” at no cost to either party.

Any external evidence of loss or damage that occurred during transit is considered visible loss or damage and must be noted on the bill of landing and signed by the carrier’s agent (driver). Failure to adequately describe the visible loss or damage could result in the carrier delaying or refusing to honor the freight claim.

Any damage that occurred during transit that was not visible at the time of delivery is considered concealed loss or damage. Due to rough handling in transit it is possible to damage the contents of a container without damaging the container itself. If such a situation occurs it is important to contact Bath Trends immediately for instructions on how to handle the claim. Please do not file a claim with the freight company yourself – if they deny your claim we have no recourse with them and thus cannot replace anything that is damaged. If a claim is to be filed it is important to save the container that the damaged merchandise arrived in. At least two clear pictures are to be mailed to customer service immediately at info@bathtrendsusa.com

You must open all received boxes and inspect products for concealed damage within 5 business days of delivery and Bath Trends must be notified at that time. After this time frame claims may not be honored.

Freight Carrier Fees

Bath Trends is only responsible (under the “FREE SHIPPING” policy) for curbside delivery. Bath Trends will pay the basic delivery charges to the curb, and the residential delivery charge (assessed by all carriers) only. If other services, such as in-home delivery services are requested by the customer and billed to Bath Trends, all such fees shall then be re-billed to your credit card.

If the Freight carrier is unable to deliver the freight due to problems with contacting your or setting up delivery appointments, storage fees may be assessed by the carrier – in such case all storage fee are the responsibility of the customer and shall be billed to your credit card. Any additional freight carrier’s fees such as re-delivery, special notification, storage due to lack of response to appointments requests, returns due to lack of response and lift-gate services, are the responsibility of the customer (unless otherwise noted on your order). The customer is also responsible for additional charges caused by a change of address without notification in the required amount of time (7 days prior to delivery).
