General Delivery Policy (small package):
We mainly ship by UPS but we
have the ability to ship via, other carriers (At customer’s request).
HOWEVER, some carrier’s shipments are not easily traceable. Therefore,
if the BUYER chooses a company different than our standard carrier, the
BUYER is responsible for the shipment, once it leaves our warehouse. By
use of this site, customers authorize UPS to leave a package at the
destination delivery address, without obtaining a signature; if the UPS
driver deems the location to be safe. Customers who are not able to
locate the package that is claimed as delivered, must follow the
instructions for filing a claim listed below under the heading "Incorrect
Delivery and Lost Package Claims."
Refused Shipments:
A refused shipment occurs when
the customer refuses to accept the package during a delivery attempt.
Reasons for Refusal are obvious damage to the contents of the package.
This can occur, whether it was shipped through UPS, USPS, DB Schenker or
one of our other carriers. Customers who refuse delivery must contact
Willow Way LLC Shipping Department immediately. In some cases the
customer may be assessed a fee to cover return shipping and labor
charges. This cost will be passed along to the customer in the form of a
deduction from the total credit due to the customer. In addition,
refused shipments may be considered an “Unauthorized Return” and
subject to the policies thereof.
Return Shipping Charges
Willow Way LLC may provide a
UPS Return Pick Up, depending on the reason a return is requested. If
shipping any other way, please contact Willow Way LLC Shipping
Department at 765-886-4642 or
brandy@soapequipment.com for other arrangements. The customer is
held responsible for all shipping fees where the Return was not
approved.

Incorrect Delivery and Lost Package Claims
 |
“Incorrect Delivery” is defined as any incident where the driver delivers the package to the wrong address or individual. |
 |
“Lost Packages” may occur in two ways.
 |
First; lost packages may occur when packages are not able to be located within the carrier's network. |
 |
Second; a package may be considered lost when the carrier claims delivery was completed by leaving the package on the doorstep, but the customer can not locate the package. |
Occasionally a shipment will get lost.
Although it is rare, it always seems to happen when the merchandise is
needed quickly. Both “Incorrect
Delivery” and “Lost Package” incidents are usually discovered through
standard tracking of the package. After you have received
notification of shipment from us or from the Shipper, and the allotted
amount of time for transit has passed; we suggest that you check
tracking on the package. If tracking does not show definitively
where the package is or when it is to arrive, then please contact the
Shipper, to report a lost shipment. Then contact Willow Way LLC
Shipping Department
brandy@soapequipment.com |
 |
Claims for Incorrect Delivery or Lost Packages:
 |
After we are notified, we will start tracing on our end, and file a Lost Shipment Claim. |
 |
Claims must be made directly to our Shipping Department, 765-886-4642 or emailed to
brandy@soapequipment.com |
 |
At this point you have three choices:
 |
1. Wait for the claim to be approved and then we re-ship the order. |
 |
2. Purchase the item or items again, and have them shipped right away to you. Your money will be refunded when the claim has been approved or the shipment is returned to us. |
 |
3. Give it more time and see if the order turns up and wait to receive it. |
 |
Please note: UPS approval for a claim may take up to 10 days after filling. USPS approval can take several weeks. |
|
|
 |
“Incorrect Delivery” or “Lost Package”
claims, will be honored after thirty (30) days from shipment date. |
Incorrect Product Claims:
Please call Willow Way LLC, Shipping Department at 765-886-4642 or email
brandy@soapequipment.com immediately for assistance in resolving any issues with your order.
Freight Shipment Claims:
We ship primarily
with, R&L, UPS Freight and DB Schenker. Shipments are made using our
carriers. This protects your shipment (insurance) and ensures a better
freight rate. Under exceptional conditions, we may ship with another
carrier at customers’ request. The Customer would then assume complete
responsibility for the shipment once it leaves our warehouse. If shipped
using our carrier, a claim may be filed after two (2) weeks, from the
scheduled delivery date.
Please contact
Willow Way LLC Shipping Department at 765-886-4642 or email us at
brandy@soapequipment.com to file such a claim.
International Shipments:
Should you Request your own Carrier:
If a customer
requests a carrier other than one of our normal carriers, we reserve the
right to charge for the time it takes for us to prepare the required
Customs and Shipping Documents. It commonly takes more time to work with
an unfamiliar carrier. The fee for the documents will be between $50 and
$100 depending upon complexity.
Incorrect
Information or Changes after Customs and Shipping Documents have been
completed:
We request that you
verify and double check all of your contact, shipping and Broker
information. For your goods to smoothly flow through Customs and through
Air or Ocean transit; proper titles, company or personal name, contact
names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. must be < Legally > correct. If
Customs finds that the information provided does not match < In Detail
>, your information, as registered in your country, problems may result.
This can take hours of our time in new paperwork and phone calls. Our
charge for this is $50 per hour.
Once the documents
have been created, should any information be incorrect, such as, wrong
or insufficient address, company or personal name, broker information,
contact information, etc., there will be an additional minimum fee of
$100.00 to re-work the paperwork.
No “Incorrect
Delivery” or “Lost Package” claims, will be honored after
thirty (30) days from shipment date.
