It is our goal to ship each order accurately. When mistakes happen, we will correct the problem promptly. Take a few minutes to review our policy to ensure our prompt service and your desired positive outcome.
Please report any issues within two (2) business days of receipt. Errors may include shipment of the wrong quantity or type of unit, failure to complete a scheduled pick-up or concealed freight damage.
SHIPPING AND CONCEALED DAMAGE
Please refer to the K2 Scientific’s Receipt of Goods policy to ensure your shipping protection is not voided. All deliveries require a dated signature by the delivery driver and your company’s receiving representative on the Bill of Lading.
You must note any damage to the packaging. If the damage to the packaging is severe, you can either complete an inspection while the driver is still there or note on the bill of lading that a full inspection is pending because of concealed damage concerns. When damage to the packaging is severe, we recommend refusal of the unit to help speed the replacement process and save you the repackaging effort.
A signed, clean bill of lading removes any ability for K2 to hold the shipping partner responsible for the damage that occurs in transit and therefore voids your shipment protection and the warranty replacement. Please don't let your unit go uninspected. Concealed damage must be reported within two (2) business days.
Note: Please ensure you have measured your doorways and space before placing your order to ensure it's a good fit and pain-free delivery. If a unit ships and will not fit through your doors upright, I need special handling instructions. If the unit arrives and cannot be delivered because it will not fit through your doorways. The customer is responsible for shipping charges or any special services required to complete a delivery or pick-up. If a unit must be laid down to be delivered, please notify K2 Scientific for special instructions. The unit must rest upright in the final location for at least 24 hours to allow the refrigerant to settle back to proper positioning for the start-up.

Just to let you know, written cancellation with confirmation from K2 Scientific is required to ensure your unit does not ship and that you will not be held responsible for return fees.
