Merchandise Delivery Inspection:
 
Once you sign for a shipment, it is extremely difficult to hold a Shipping/ Freight Company responsible for damage caused during shipment. You must immediately and thoroughly inspect all merchandise prior to signing for your shipment. If there is damage, then it is recommended that you refuse the shipment and contact pinballmachinesales.com’s at while the driver is still at your house.
 
If you see damage to the crate or carton but cannot tell if there is any damage to the contents, accept your shipment and sign the delivery receipt SUBJECT TO INSPECTION. Open the merchandise immediately to alert us of any concealed damage. We will process a claim with the carrier. You have two (2) days to alert us of any concealed damages, by contacting our customer service department at shipping@pinballmachinesales.com or by filling out our customer service form here.
 
In all cases, you must do this in the presence of the shipper and note any damage on the shipper’s paperwork. Contact pinballmachinesales.com’s immediately while the shipper is there, and we will help guide and protect you through this process. If this process is not followed and you accept a shipment later finding out that it is damaged, there is nothing pinballmachinesales.com’s can do to protect you if the shipment has been signed and received.
 
Minor issues – Minor damages or blemishes including small scratches and nicks may be present on the item and represent normal wear and tear from product packaging and transit. This damage does not warranty refusal of delivery or a product return.

Measurements for all items are available under technical specifications. Please make sure to measure all pathways and doorways before placing your order, and also ensure that an entire pathway from the truck delivery point to in your home is clear of all debris and anything hazardous.

Delivery items that do not fit, for any reason, are not returnable.
