Shipping and Freight Charges

All items are supplied FOB Origin (AKA FOB ExWorks – the shipping point).  In most cases, the origin/shipping point will be our warehouse in Lynnwood, WA 98087.  In other cases, products will drop ship to you directly from a factory origin/shipping point. Freight charges in either scenario will be prepaid by Northwest Caster & Equipment and added to your invoice, unless other shipping arrangements are made at the time of order.  You can call us toll free at (800) 562-6998 to discuss shipping options.

Loss or Damage in Transit

For items that are supplied FOB Origin (AKA FOB ExWorks), INCOTERMS state that the title for the goods sold transfer to you, the Customer, when we give the product to the transportation company. As a result, any and all claims for loss or damage should be addressed with the transportation company. If you note that your shipment is damaged or short, please note this immediately to the transportation company. We will assist you to the best of our ability for any freight claims that arise from this shipment. You must notify us of any damage, shortage or wrong product shipped claims within 30 days of receiving the product. You can call us toll free at (800) 562-6998 or email info@nwcaster.com

We will contact you to discuss your options if we are going to miss a scheduled shipment.
