Shipping policy
This Shipping Policy governs every shipment from Bennett Truck Center and works together with our Returns, Cancellations & Order Policies and Warranty Policy. By placing an order, you agree to the terms below.
Processing & Shipment
Orders are typically processed and shipped within 1–2 business days after payment has been received and cleared. Processing time does not include transit time. Items not in stock at our facility may ship directly from the manufacturer or supplier (drop-shipped). All processing, ship, and delivery dates are good-faith estimates only and are not guaranteed; the Estimated Dates & Delays terms of our Order Policies apply to every shipment.
Risk of Loss
All orders ship FOB Origin: risk of loss, damage, or delay passes to the customer when the shipment is tendered to the carrier at our facility or our supplier's dock. Title to goods remains with Bennett Truck Center until the order is paid in full.
Carrier Delays
Bennett Truck Center is not responsible for delays after a shipment has been tendered to the carrier, including delays caused by weather, carrier logistics or capacity, incorrect or incomplete addresses, holidays, strikes, or events beyond our control. Carrier delays do not qualify for refunds, cancellations, or damages, and do not entitle the customer to cancel without the fees described in our Order Policies. The customer's exclusive remedy for a delivery delay is to pursue the matter with the carrier; Bennett Truck Center will assist where it can.
Inspection, Damage & Shortages
All shipments must be inspected at the time of delivery. Visible freight damage or shortages must be noted on the carrier's delivery receipt or Bill of Lading at delivery, with photos taken before signing — failure to note visible damage at delivery may void eligibility for a freight claim. Concealed damage must be reported within 48 hours of delivery through our Support Request form or by phone or text at 737-204-9316. Keep all packaging materials and the item until the claim is resolved. Replacement or credit is issued only after the carrier completes its investigation and approves the claim; Bennett Truck Center will assist in filing.
Freight Shipments (LTL & Heavy Items)
Large or heavy shipments — engines, long blocks, transmissions, differentials — deliver curbside unless otherwise arranged in writing. The customer is responsible for providing proper unloading equipment (forklift or dock). Liftgate service, redelivery, detention, limited-access, or other accessorial fees assessed by the carrier are the customer's responsibility and may be billed after delivery.
Addresses
The customer is responsible for providing an accurate, complete shipping address. Bennett Truck Center is not responsible for shipments lost or delayed due to address errors, and any carrier fees for address correction or re-delivery will be billed to the customer.
Shipping Costs & Free Shipping
Shipping costs are calculated by size, weight, and destination. Where free shipping is offered, it applies only to the original outbound shipment. On any return or cancellation, all shipping & handling costs — including original outbound shipping even when offered free at the time of sale, and return shipping — are the customer's responsibility and are deducted from any refund, as set out in our Order Policies.
Refused or Undeliverable Shipments
If a shipment is refused or returned undeliverable, the customer is responsible for all outbound and return shipping costs, applicable restocking and cancellation fees under our Order Policies, and reshipment fees if the order is sent again. Bennett Truck Center may deduct these costs from any refund or credit.
Service Area
Bennett Truck Center ships within the United States only, unless otherwise approved in writing. Approved international shipments are subject to additional handling, customs fees, duties, and carrier conditions; Bennett Truck Center is not responsible for customs delays or clearance issues once a shipment leaves the U.S.
Force Majeure
Bennett Truck Center is not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, severe weather, fire, flood, labor disputes, carrier failures, government actions, or supply chain disruptions.
Limitation of Liability
Bennett Truck Center is not liable for missed delivery dates, vehicle downtime, rental costs, lost business or income, or any incidental or consequential damages related to shipping or delivery. Bennett Truck Center's responsibility ends when a shipment is tendered to the carrier.
