Policy Overview

Effective May 1, 2024.

North Bay Equipment is the operator of https://shopnorthbayequipment.com. By placing an order through this website, you agree to the terms below. These terms are provided to ensure both parties are aware of and agree upon this arrangement to mutually protect and set expectations on our service.

1. Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are calculated during checkout based on weight, dimensions, and destination of the items in the order. In most cases, customers are provided with the option of choosing their preferred shipping method at checkout. Payment for shipping will be collected at checkout.

2. Free Standard Shipping

Some orders may qualify for Free Standard Shipping based on their order total, or if a pressure washer pump is included in their order.

Customers who select the Free Standard Shipping option allow North Bay Equipment to choose the courier and shipping method that will be used to deliver their items.

• Free Shipping to the United States: Orders of $1,500 USD and over, before tax, are eligible for free standard shipping to the 48 contiguous United States.

2.1 Free Shipping Exclusions

Due to special handling requirements, select items sold on the website are excluded from the Free Standard Shipping offer. These items include:

• Equipment Shipped Via LTL Freight: Equipment that must be shipped via LTL Freight to any destination is excluded from Free Standard Shipping. See Section 3.1 for additional information.
• Detergents & Chemicals: All detergents and chemicals are excluded from Free Standard Shipping.
• Military APO & FPO Addresses: All items that ship to AA, AE, and AP military addresses are excluded from Free Standard Shipping.

3. LTL Freight

Due to their physical weight and shipping dimensions, some products must be shipped via LTL Freight services. The following conditions apply to orders containing these items:

3.1 Equipment Freight

Any equipment purchased via the website that must be shipped via LTL Freight will incur a freight charge, with the exception of Mi-T-M equipment. This charge will be included in the final cost of the item when it is added to the shopping cart.

3.2 Parts & Accessories Freight

• LTL Freight to the United States: Parts and accessories that must be shipped via LTL Freight to the 48 contiguous United States will be billed accordingly due to weight and dimensions.
• LTL Freight to Alaska and Hawaii: Parts and accessories that must be shipped via LTL Freight require the cost of freight to be manually calculated based on the weight, dimensions, and destination of the item.

Freight costs will be calculated by North Bay Equipment after checkout and billed separately from the original order.

In these cases, we will notify the customer of the additional freight costs and send a separate invoice for the amount due. The customer must pay the invoiced amount before the order is shipped. If the customer opts not to pay the LTL Freight costs within 2 business days, all or part of the order will be cancelled.

3.3 LTL Freight Special Requests

Customers requiring lift gates or set delivery appointments for items that ship via LTL Freight must notify us in advance of their order being shipped so we can accommodate these requests.

Additional charges for these special requests will apply and can be selected at checkout.

4. Next-Day Shipping Deadlines

To ensure delivery on the following business day, all next-day shipping orders must be placed by 10:00am Pacific Time, Monday-Friday.

Orders that have selected next-day shipping but are not placed by 10:00am may be delayed an additional business day for processing and transit.

5. Tracking Notifications

Customers will receive a tracking number and link at the email address provided at checkout to follow the progress of their shipment.

6. Insurance

Parcels are insured for loss and damage up to the value as stated by the courier.

7. Duties & Taxes

• Sales Tax: Any applicable sales tax will be applied to orders at the time of checkout.
• Import Duties & Taxes: For international shipments, import duties and taxes may be required to be paid by the customer when the shipment arrives at its destination. If the customer refuses to pay these duties when the shipment arrives at its destination country, the shipment may be returned to North Bay Equipment at the customer’s expense.

8. Lost or Damaged Packages

If a parcel has been damaged in transit, or if the expected delivery date has been exceeded by more than 5 business days, please contact our customer service department at 707.585.0100 so we may begin an investigation with the courier.

We will process a refund or replacement if and when the carrier has deemed that they are responsible for the package being lost or damaged.

9.1 Change of Delivery Address

For change of delivery address requests, we will try to accommodate requests before the order has been processed for shipping.
