Please read the following carefully.
Hotel Supply Warehouse, Inc. dba HotelRestaurantSupply.com (HRS) ships most of our products via UPS or FedEx, using their standard rates. However, a few of our larger items exceed UPS's weight limits; therefore these items are shipped by a freight company. Please understand that the shipping amount calculated on our site is as accurate an estimate as we can provide. However, the actual shipping costs may differ slightly. If the difference is greater than 15%, we will call you for an approval before processing your order.All pictures are best available at time item is added to our website and may not accurately reflect product. Pictures may also contain optional accessories. We use care and caution when adding items to our website, taking information from our manufacturers and suppliers and presenting to you as accurately as we can. Since all items are added by humans, errors and omissions can occur from time to time. If you see any discrepancies, potentially incorrect information or have any other questions about products we have for sale, please contact customer service at custserv@hotelrestaurantsupply.com or 954-358-2112 or 800-931-0116. It is our goal to provide you the best information about foodservice equipment and supplies available on the Internet and we want to correct any incorrect information as quickly as practical.
Please inspect shipments carefully before signing for them and refuse damaged items. If you are displeased with anything about your shipment PLEASE CONTACT us immediately. We permit returns only when the manufacturer accepts returns from us. Even if returns are allowed by the manufacturer, there are no returns after 15 days from shipping date. In addition, a return authorization and a copy of the invoice must be included with all returned merchandise. All merchandise must be unused and in its original packaging. Non stocked items are returned only per the manufacturers terms and when allowed may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 25% or more plus costs for shipping and return. Once you sign for a product free and clear with a freight or small package carrier our ability to file a claim for the product is eliminated and it is your responsibility to file the claim and make arrangements for settlement with the carrier. It is your responsibility to inspect the packages carefully before signing for them, including opening the package to make sure there is no concealed damage. We repeat, once a customer or their representative signs for a package free and clear we are unable to take responsibility for any damage to the product. We will assist you in filing the claim with the carrier in the manner we can. If a return authorization is provided to you, the customer is responsible for the return shipping and any damages that may occur to the product during the return shipping.
Free Shipping: In order to offer the absolute lowest prices to our customers, Hotel Supply Warehouse, Inc. offers a select group of items that have free shipping. This free shipping applies to products that are individually marked with Free Shipping and is for regular ground shipping within the 48 contiguous US states only. Other charges will apply if you want these items shipped next day air, 2nd day air, or if a lift gate or other special circumstances are required.
If your item is in stock, it will generally be shipped on the same day that you order, as long as the order is received by Noon Eastern time. Orders for in stock items placed after Noon will be shipped on the next business day.
Unless indicated as in stock, most items are not available for immediate shipping and may have a lead time prior to our shipping to you. Once we place our purchase order to obtain the products you ordered we may not be able to cancel the order, or if cancelled there may be a charge up to the full amount of the product price. For most orders we receive a notification from the manufacturer that your item has shipped and we will charge your credit card at the time the product ships. For a few items we do not receive a notification at shipment, or if the manufacturer does not permit cancellation or return of orders we will charge your credit card for the order immediately upon placing your order with our supplier and use it as a deposit until your order is shipped from our supplier.
We automatically provide tracking information for orders that ship direct from our warehouse in Deerfield Beach, FL. For orders that ship direct from the manufacturer's warehouse we may not receive tracking information but are happy to obtain it for you upon request.
In the unlikely event you wish to cancel an order contact customer service. If items have shipped, or have been ordered and are en route to our warehouse for shipping to you they may not be cancelled. Restocking and/or order cancellation charges may apply to cover expenses we have related to your order.
All cancellations must be acknowledged by us in writing to you.
The amount of time for your order to reach its destination depends on the shipping method selected by you during the checkout process. We utilize the UPS QuantumView shipment monitoring system. If we have your valid email address you should receive an email notification from UPS letting you know when they pick up the package, if there are any exceptions to a normal delivery along the way, and a confirmation email when your package has been delivered. If your ISP requires you to provide valid email addresses in order to receive email you may want to permit both custserv@hotelrestaurantsupply.com and quantumviewnotify@ups.com
Customer Instructions and Responsibilities for Freight Deliveries
Unpack and inspect the entire shipment for visible damage prior to signing for and accepting the shipment. Refuse delivery of any items with damage. If damage is found after driver has left - customer is responsible for filing claim with freight carrier and HRS is unable to accept any liability. If there are minor scratches or other damage that you the customer are comfortable accepting and negotiating directly with the freight carrier you may accept the shipment and you must file the claim directly with the freight carrier. HRS accepts no liability for any freight shipments that the customer or their agents have signed for.
You are responsible for having someone present to receive the equipment. If an employee, subcontractor, neighbor or anyone else at your location signs for the package you accept the responsibility for the delivery as if you signed for it. You are responsible for any redelivery fees or fees associated with returned packages that are undeliverable if you or someone else is not available to receive shipments when delivery is attempted. Verify the number of packages delivered with the packing slip provided by HRS. Unpack your order immediately and inspect for hidden or concealed damage prior to signing for the freight with the carrier. Should any damage be discovered, retain the shipping carton and any inner packaging intact, request inspection immediately from the carrier as well as make a written request to the carrier. Hidden or concealed damage must be reported and an inspection requested within 3 business days. If there is any damage (visible damage with item refused or concealed damage) then contact HRS customer service at 800-931-0116 or 954-358-2112 to advise of the damage. Please have your order number, shipping information and any available tracking number ready so we can assist in the process if possible. Do not attempt to return any item to HRS without a return authorization. Unauthorized returns cannot be processed and all costs are the customer's responsibility.
Additional information for our customers. What does your signature mean on the delivery receipt/bill of lading?
Your signature (or that of your representative) indicates that all items identified on the delivery receipt/bill of lading are "RECEIVED IN GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT AS NOTED BY" the person that signs the document. This means that you are relieving the manufacturer, the freight carrier and HRS of any liability for the damages. Once you sign the delivery receipt/bill of lading without noting any damage HRS has no method of holding the freight carrier liable for damages.
Don't be unnecessarily rushed. When the products are being delivered you do need to check the products while the driver is still there. The driver may be insisting that he needs to leave immediately so just sign the form and then file any claims later. We have noticed that the more urgent the driver seems to get the form signed and to move on to his next delivery, the more likely it is that the products are damaged. Inspect the products and note any potential damage on the delivery receipt/bill of lading.

Shipping costs are estimated. Some large and heavy items do not ship via UPS and appropriate freight transportation will be arranged. If you are ordering products and the estimated cost is $0.00, the weight or size of a product, or the combination of all of the products you are purchasing is larger than a single package that can be shipped via UPS. We will contact you to arrange for shipping that meets your needs. Should costs be lower than those estimated, we will pass the savings along to you. We will contact you in the unlikely event that costs are more than 15% higher than those stated during the ordering process to confirm your order.
Sales Tax
Laws regarding the collection of sales tax vary by location and undergo frequent change in content as well as interpretation by governmental agencies. Hotel Supply Warehouse, Inc., any parent companies and/or subsidiaries will always make every effort to fully comply with the law and governmental regulations. It is our understanding at this time that customers, whether business or individual, bear the responsibility of reporting purchases that are shipped across state lines and to pay the state and any applicable local sales taxes as per their local laws and regulations. Hotel Supply Warehouse, Inc. is registered in and conducts business within the state of Florida, and therefore collects sales tax for orders billed or shipped within the state of Florida. Organizations with current and valid sales tax exemptions may request an exemption for sales tax collection by speaking with customer service and providing a copy of required documentation. Sales tax laws and regulations apply to all businesses and individuals within the United States. Online businesses that advertise "No Sales Tax" may not fully understand the sales tax laws, or may be mis-leading their customers whether intentional or not.
Some products are shipped direct from the manufacturer to the customer by Hotel Supply Warehouse, Inc. Some manufacturer's sales agreements require that sales tax be collected on any products they ship direct to the customer in certain states. Examples include but are not limited to Blodgett Oven requiring sales tax collection for products shipped direct within the 15 states that Blodgett has manufacturing or office space in.
Hotel Supply Warehouse, Inc. does not make the tax law, or set the sales tax collection requirements of our suppliers. Sales tax for shipments within the state of Georgia should show sales tax on the automatically generated Invoice. Sales tax for shipments outside the state of Georgia will not show on the automatically generated Invoice, but will be collected if required.
NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES ARE PERMITTED FOR FURNITURE. HRS restaurant furniture manufacturers do not allow returns because the furniture is manufactured for you with your color and material selections. Once an order is placed with the manufacturer you are liable for the cost of the furniture, any accessories, shipping and other costs as indicated on our quote to you. Due to variations in display of colors and textures by computer screens we encourage you to request a sample of finishes if you are matching existing colors or demand a close match in material finish. Returns due to color selection are not permitted. Some material and color selections require an extended lead time by the manufacturer, frequently in the 4-12 week range though not guaranteed. Obtain an estimate of delivery date for furniture.
In order to keep our prices the lowest in the market for all customers, we pass along the manufacturer terms and conditions including any shipping costs to customers for special order items. We value your business and hope you appreciate our policy that protects you from costs incurred by other customers since we do not spread those costs across all of our products and customers.
