Shipping Costs

Most products and brands at The Trade Table qualify for free shipping within the contiguous United States (lower 48 states). However, certain products, brands, or large, heavy, or specialty items may not be eligible for free shipping due to their size, weight, or other factors. If you are unsure whether a product qualifies for free shipping, contact us via the chat feature on our website, call us at 256-633-6553, or email info@thetradetable.com before placing your order.

Where We Ship

The Trade Table ships to the lower 48 states (contiguous United States) for free on most products.

If you are located outside the contiguous United States (e.g., Alaska, Hawaii, or international destinations), shipping availability and costs will vary. Please contact us at info@thetradetable.com or 256-633-6553 prior to placing an order. In some cases, we may be able to accommodate your request for an additional shipping charge, which must be agreed upon in writing before finalizing the purchase.

Shipping Times

We strive to get your order delivered to you as quickly as possible. Estimated shipping times are provided for your convenience but are not guaranteed. Factors beyond our control, such as supply chain delays, weather, or carrier logistics, can affect delivery times.

Upon placing your order, we will verify product availability with the supplier. This does not apply to custom orders.

• If the product is not available for immediate shipment, we will contact you with an estimated arrival time. You may choose to proceed with the order or request a cancellation and full refund.
• If the product is in stock, most orders (excluding custom orders) will ship within 2-5 business days.

Once your order leaves the warehouse, tracking information will be provided within 24 hours. If you do not receive tracking information or have questions, please contact us at sales@thetradetable.com or 256-633-6553.

Shipping Information

All shipping information, including timelines and delivery expectations, is subject to change. The Trade Table relies on third-party suppliers and logistics providers, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided to us. We will communicate any updates we receive about your shipment as soon as possible.

For example:

• If a supplier informs us that your order will ship as one complete package but later splits the shipment into multiple deliveries, this is outside of our control.
• Similarly, if the delivery timeframe provided to us changes unexpectedly, we will inform you immediately and work to resolve the issue where possible.

By placing an order, you acknowledge that shipping delays, partial shipments, or unforeseen changes to delivery details are not the responsibility of The Trade Table.

Service Center Information

For heavy or oversized products, deliveries are often managed through third-party service centers. You may be required to coordinate a delivery appointment directly with the service center to receive your product.

• If your product is delayed because you failed to schedule a delivery time with the service center, The Trade Table is not liable for any delays or additional costs incurred.
• While we will relay all information provided by the service center, The Trade Table does not control the actions, policies, or schedules of these third-party service centers. We will do our best to assist you, but we cannot guarantee their performance or availability.

Refused Deliveries

If you refuse delivery of an order for any reason other than clear and visible damage noted at the time of delivery, you will be responsible for any associated shipping costs, restocking fees, or return expenses as determined by our suppliers.

Damages During Shipping

Inspect all products upon delivery. If you notice damage or missing items, report it within 24 hours of receiving the delivery to support@thetradetable.com or call 256-633-6553. Failure to report damages within this timeframe may void your ability to file a claim or receive a replacement.

Product Ownership and Liability

Once a product is delivered to you, you assume full ownership and responsibility for it. The Trade Table is not responsible for:

1. Improper Installation – We recommend that all products be installed by licensed and reputable professionals. Incorrect installation can void warranties and cause product damage or safety hazards.
2. Damage After Delivery – Any damage that occurs after delivery, including during installation, is not covered by The Trade Table.
3. Loss or Misuse – Any damage, loss, or safety issues caused by improper use, neglect, or failure to follow the product's guidelines are solely the buyer’s responsibility.

By purchasing a product from The Trade Table, you agree to these shipping terms and assume all responsibility for handling, installation, and use of the product. If you have questions about our shipping policies, contact info@thetradetable.com or call us at 256-633-6553.

Shipping Outside the Contiguous United States

Due to significantly higher shipping costs, we have implemented the following strict policy for orders outside the contiguous 48 United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, military addresses, and other countries):

1. Additional & Mandatory Shipping Fees

• Orders shipped outside the contiguous U.S. WILL incur additional shipping charges based on destination, weight, and size.

2. No Exceptions for Free Shipping or Promotions

• No free shipping offers apply—ALL shipping costs are the customer’s responsibility.
• Promotional discounts, shipping coupons, or other shipping-related offers do not apply to non-contiguous U.S. orders.

3. Extended Processing & Delivery Times – No Guarantees

• Orders outside the contiguous U.S. will take significantly longer to process and deliver.

6. All Return Costs Are the Customer’s Responsibility

• Customers must ensure their shipping address is 100% accurate before placing an order.
• If an incorrect address is provided:
  • We will NOT refund the order.
  • The customer must place a new order at their own expense.

8. No Liability for Lost, Stolen, or Rejected Packages

• We are NOT responsible for lost, stolen, or undeliverable packages. Once a package is shipped, it is the customer’s responsibility to track and retrieve it.
• If a package is rejected or undeliverable for any reason (e.g., unpaid customs fees, incorrect address, failure to pick up), no refunds will be issued. You will have to pay reshipment fees.

At The Trade Table, we are committed to offering you the best prices online. If you find a lower price for the exact same product (brand, model, and specifications) from a competitor, we will beat their price by $50 for products priced over $2,000.

To qualify for the Price Match Policy, you must submit the lower price for verification before making your purchase.

How to Initiate a Price Match

To request a price match, please contact us before placing your order:

• Email: info@thetradetable.com
• Phone: 256-633-6553

Please provide the following:

1. A screenshot, link, or other verifiable evidence of the lower price.
2. Proof that the lower price meets all the conditions listed below.

Limitations to the Price Match Policy

1. Online Retailers Only:

   • The lower price must come from an online store; physical retail stores or in-person quotes do not qualify.

2. Authorized Dealers Only:

   • The competitor must be an Authorized Dealer of the brand. We will not price match unauthorized resellers.

5. Promotional and Special Event Pricing:

   • Black Friday, Cyber Monday, holiday promotions, clearance pricing, or limited-time sales are excluded from this policy.

   • Price match submissions after purchasing are not guaranteed due to factors such as Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) violations, supplier restrictions, or pricing margins. In some cases, price matching may result in a net loss for The Trade Table, which is why verification is required before order submission.

9. Brand-Specific Restrictions:

   • Certain brands or suppliers may not allow price matching due to their policies. Always check with our customer service team for clarification on specific brands or products.

Additional Conditions

• The competitor’s lower price must be current, publicly advertised, and verifiable at the time of the price match request.
