Inspection For Common Carriers (Truck Shipments) — Please check all piece and/or carton counts on the Delivery Receipt versus what is received. Any shortages must be noted on the Delivery Receipt before signing. Shortages not noted cannot be filed as part of a missing/or damage claim. When your merchandise arrives it is the receiver’s responsibility to inspect for damages BEFORE the driver leaves. This includes opening the crate(s) or boxes to inspect for any concealed damage. ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE PALLET, CARTONS, OR SHRINK-WRAP, NO MATTER HOW SLIGHT, MUST BE NOTED ON THE DELIVERY RECEIPT BEFORE YOU SIGN FOR YOUR SHIPMENT. If damage is noted, please see "Claims For Common Carriers (Truck Shipments)" below. If the driver will not let you inspect the contents of the shipment, before signing the Delivery receipt, it is recommended that you note the receipt "POSSIBLE DAMAGE/UNABLE TO INSPECT BEFORE SIGNATURE", before you sign it.
Cancellations — Custom-built displays, Non-stock merchandise, Special order merchandise, Gemini Display Cases, Onyx Display Cases, Queen Anne Display Cases, Oak Display Cases, Deluxe Display Cases, Economy Display Cases, Premium Bullnose Shelving (Finish 1 and Finish 2), Pegboard Panels, Wood Baskets, Wood Crates, Barrel Displays, Glass Cube Bases, and Oak Golf Displays are not subject to cancellation once production has begun.

Factory (Factory Direct) Personal Protective Equipment including Face Shields, Sneeze Guards, Face Masks, etc. is not subject to cancellation once order is placed. Other items may be cancelled prior to shipping. Cancellation of large volume orders over standard stocking quantities may be subject to a 25% cancellation fee.
Returns — Merchandise to be returned for credit must first be approved in writing by our customer service department. Please call to obtain a return authorization number before returning any merchandise, that way we will be able to properly service and credit your return. All returns must be in resalable condition upon receipt of goods with all freight charges being prepaid. Some items may be subject to a 25% restocking charge.

All returns must be in original packaging and cartons.
Claims For Small Package Carriers — Please open, inspect and count all cartons immediately upon receipt. If damage occurs please contact Palay Display for inspection, and save all packaging. Do not return the package to Palay Display.
Claims For Common Carriers (Truck Shipments) — When your merchandise arrives it is the receiver’s responsibility to inspect for damages BEFORE the driver leaves. This includes opening the crate(s) or boxes to inspect for any concealed damage. ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE PALLET, CARTONS, OR SHRINK-WRAP, NO MATTER HOW SLIGHT, MUST BE NOTED ON THE DELIVERY RECEIPT BEFORE YOU SIGN FOR YOUR SHIPMENT. IF DAMAGE IS NOTED CALL THE FREIGHT COMPANY, AND YOUR PALAY REPRESENTATIVE IMMEDIATELY. If the driver will not let you inspect the contents of the shipment, before signing the Delivery receipt, it is recommended that you note the receipt as "DAMAGED" before you sign. In the event that damage has occurred it must be noted on the Delivery Receipt, and with the driver BEFORE the driver leaves. Save all packing material, and call your Palay Display Sales Representative to assist you in filing a freight claim. Please note: If damage has occurred and is not noted on the Delivery Receipt, it is unlikely we would be successful in recovering damages from the freight company. Any photos detailing the damages to your merchandise is useful in expediting your damage claim settlement. Please email them to your Palay Display Representative. Please hold on to all packaging involved with your damaged shipment including all foam, paper, cartons and crates. The carrier may want to inspect these items. Not having these on hand for any inspection, can affect your claim settlement. PLEASE NOTE: IN MOST CASES — CONCEALED DAMAGE CLAIMS WILL BE DENIED BY THE CARRIER. Concealed Damage is damage that is hidden inside the packaging or crates and it not obvious upon first look. This is why you must inspect the contents of your shipment, as concealed damage claims are rarely paid by the carrier. If you sign for the merchandise "in good condition..." without noting any damage, Palay Display has no recourse with the delivering carrier and any freight claim that is filed will be considered Concealed Damage. Concealed Damage Claims must be filed within 15 days of receipt, or they will be denied. We are happy to help you in any way with filing your claim with the delivering trucking company; however, Palay Display is only responsible to you, our customer, for whatever settlement the carrier offers, in a Concealed Damage situation. Please report any damage to your representative at Palay Display immediately, so that we can assist in the replacement process in a timely manner. We will do everything possible to assist you in your claim, but we cannot be held responsible for loss or damage after delivery to the common carrier.
Errors — If an error occurs with your order that is attributed to us, please contact a representative immediately. If the error requires another shipment, we will ship freight free as soon as possible up to the same level of service as the original shipment. Any expedited level of service above the original order will incur an additional charge. Errors that are attributed to the carrier will be handled through the claims process.
Nondelivery or Delays (Weather, War, Strikes, Acts of God) — Palay Display cannot be held liable for any expenses or losses incurred in the event your merchandise is delayed or not delivered due to war, strikes, weather, acts of God, or any other circumstance beyond Palay Display's control. When weather, war, strikes or acts of God are involved freight charges are due in full including expedited shipping fees.
Refused or Undeliverable Packages & Shipments — In the event that the carrier is unable to deliver your shipment or packages for any reason that is not the fault of Palay Display or its agents, the outbound and any applicable return freight, as well as any re-delivery fees where applicable are not subject to refund, upon return of the merchandise. If choosing to ship via US Mail (USPS) please make sure the ship to address is able to accept mail. US Mail does not deliver to certain address statuses such as AS17 - This address is classified as not receiving mail by the USPS via their No-Stat flag. Please contact USPS if you have questions about your address status. UPS & Fed Ex attempt deliveries several times, leaving communication each visit stating their date of additional attempts. Palay Display will assist in arranging your shipment of goods, but our responsibility ceases once the approved carrier has control of your merchandise. Most Common Carrier deliveries include a call before delivery to set up an appointment that works for the consignee. To insure you receive the merchandise you have ordered through Palay Display, please communicate any special delivery needs through your delivering agent. Non-delivery or delays on the specified date due to reasons beyond our control is not the responsibility of Palay Display, and payment in full including redelivery charges or other assessed fees is the responsibility of the consignee.

Shipping Methods & Temporary Location Considerations
Standard Shipping Method: — Our standard shipping method is Ground using the most economical package carriers available including UPS, FedEx, USPS, and Regional Carriers. We use several different Common Carriers to provide you with the best possible freight rates on truck shipments. Note: Not all shipping methods are available from all ship from locations.
Billing Freight Collect On Your Carrier Account: — Freight collect is available on orders placed over the phone only for items that are stocked in Bloomington, MN. Please verify your account number with customer service when placing your order. Collect shipping is unavailable on orders placed over the website. Website orders are shipped prepaid and add, and will automatically have freight charges included in your order total. This applies to all carriers including FedEx, UPS, and Common Carriers.
USPS: — USPS (United States Postal Service) is available on non-truck items that are stocked in Bloomington, MN only.
Expedited Shipping (UPS Next Day, 2nd Day, or 3 Day Select) — In most cases expedited freight charges will be significantly higher than the ground shipping on your order. If you are not familiar with UPS Expedited Rates and none are shown during checkout, we request you call and discuss before placing your order. To expedite, please select the expedited shipping method during checkout. If you require expedited shipping and none are shown during checkout, please call to discuss availability and levels of services. Note: Shipping occurs Monday thru Friday only. Expedited shipments must be completed, and confirmed, before 12:00 PM CST (subject to stock availability). If a portion of your order is backordered, the in-stock items will ship expedited and the backorder will ship ground, unless you contact us. We will make every effort to accommodate your expedited shipment, and would request that you call immediately after placing your order to confirm.
Billing Your Expedited Freight Charges:
Prepay & Add: If expedited rates are available during checkout, your credit card will be charged the expedited shipping rate in your order total and your receipt will show the expedited shipping method chosen. If expedited rates are not shown on checkout and you require expedited shipping, the additional expedited amount will be billed separately from your order, and you will see 2 credit card charges on your credit card bill.
UPS 3rd Party or Collect: This option is available on orders placed over the phone only. Palay Display can bill your expedited freight charges collect or 3rd party to your UPS Account Number.

Trade Show / Hotel / Temporary Location Considerations: — When shipping your merchandise to a temporary location such as but not limited to a trade show booth, convention center, hotel, etc. please take into account the following considerations: Typically shipping to these types of locations carries an increased chance of the shipment(s) being misplaced or not delivered on time due to circumstances beyond Palay Display's control. Customers are also unlikely to be at the receiving area to inspect for damage before signing for the package or Bill of Lading. Palay Display and its contracted carriers will do their best to have your package delivered on time and undamaged to the temporary ship-to location, however Palay Display simply cannot guarantee its delivery or delivery time, due to circumstances outside our control such as but not limited to hotel responsibilities and liabilities, convention center rules and regulations, or hotel employees. For these reasons, Palay Display discourages its customer's from shipping to temporary locations, but realizes that in certain instances customers need to have product shipped to a temporary location. By shipping to a temporary location you understand the risks involved, and release Palay Display Industries, and its contracted carriers from all liability, damages, actions, losses, claims, demands, costs and expenses associated with shipping to a temporary location, and agree to pay in full all freight and merchandise expense related to the order.
Additional Terms and Conditions
Pricing — Prices are subject to change without prior notice. Whenever possible, we will advise customers of price changes. Palay Display has the right to cancel any backorders when product becomes unavailable from the manufacturer, or is subject to an increase in price. If the estimated ship date is more than thirty (30) days after date of order, the price of the merchandise may be subject to an increase. Quoted freight amounts are valid for seven (7) days.
Product Descriptions and Specifications — Palay Display Industries, Inc. attempts to keep the information in regards to product description, specifications, and pricing as accurate as possible. However, Palay Display Industries, Inc. cannot be held accountable that the product description, specifications, pricing, or other content of this site is accurate, reliable, complete, current, or error–free. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify all current specifications of the product they are purchasing before finalizing their order.
Color, Finish & Wood Grain Variations — Due to screen setting variations such as resolution, brightness, contrast, etc. on devices you are viewing PalayDisplay.com, actual color/finish may vary. Please contact a Palay Display Representative to discuss any color match concerns prior to ordering. Furthermore as it pertains to items produced with natural woods and veneers, there is always going to be a difference in color with every batch of wood and every lot of paint/stain. Due to varying wood grain and type, stain color may differ slightly. There are differences in the wood and grain inherently, in humidity and absorbency that change the consistency of the saturation. There can also be slight variations in the application of stain, paint, lacquer, etc. Any pieces requested to match should be ordered at the same time to minimize differentiating factors. Variation in grain pattern and color are normal, and should be expected when manufacturing with natural wood. Wood species will exhibit color changes, in all finishes, when exposed to differing light and as a result of the normal aging process of wood. Color variations in wood are caused by a wide range variables. This includes environmental factors, like minerals found in the earth that the tree was grown in, and the differing absorption of these minerals by each species. Every wood species exhibits other characteristics including knots, pinholes, sap runs and darkening with age. These distinct attributes contribute to the natural beauty and personality of the wood. Natural variations in grain texture and color will always be present. Real wood products continuously have variations, as should be expected. Items sent will be within an industry acceptable range.
Personal Protective Equipment — Unless otherwise explicitly stated in writing, all Personal Protective Equipment including but not limited to face shields, sneeze guards, checkout shields, and face masks are non-medical items that have not been tested or approved by any regulatory body including the FDA, and should not be used in facilities where FDA or other regulatory body approval is required. Palay Display and its Manufacturers do not guarantee that any of the Personal Protective Equipment items will protect against contracting any germ, virus, or disease.
