Shipping Information

Shipping Policy [UPS] and [USPS]: Aeration Supply, Inc uses UPS [United Parcel Service] and the [United States Postal Service] as our primary “small package” shippers. You may track your UPS or USPS small package by going to their websites. The vast majority of AQUAMASTER® surface fountains and aerators will ship UPS. Most of our GENAIR™ small pond aerators, XTREMEAIR® 1, 2 and 3 systems, AIRBOOST™ Minis, pond bacteria and boxed rolls of tubing will also ship UPS. It is UPS’ policy that they may leave a package at your door if someone is not available to receive the package. We do not require a signature for delivery unless the customer requests it. It is the customer’s responsibility to inspect the package for damage. If damage is present please contact us at 715-821-5554 for further instructions. Aeration Supply, Inc. its affiliate or agents is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged freight.

Shipping Policy [R&L Motor Freight]: Aeration Supply, Inc utilizes R&L Motor Freight as our primary “large package\order” shipper. You may access their website at www.gorlc.com. Our XTREMEAIR® 4, 5 and 6 as well as the XTREMEAIR® DCRs® and other heavy freight may also ship via R&L motor freight or similar carrier. MULTIWEAVE™ Pond Liners and other products may also ship via R&L depending on circumstances. In addition, larger reels of tubing will always ship R&L Freight or similar carrier.

Please Note: It is the policy of Aeration Supply, Inc and R&L Freight Company and similar companies, that a person of legal age be present at the time of delivery. Failure to have a person available at the time of delivery will incur additional fees for re-delivery that the customer will be responsible for.

Once your order is built, packaged and placed on a skid for delivery you will be notified by an Aeration Supply, Inc representative. The Aeration Supply, Inc representative will give you a “Pro Number” which is your tracking number and the phone number of the R&L terminal near you. You may track your package at www.gorlc.com. The Aeration Supply, Inc representative will also give you a tentative day that you may receive your freight. However, it will be the consumer’s responsibility to contact the R&L terminal directly to find out exactly what day the freight will be expected for delivery. After R&L has been contacted by the customer it is imperative that the customer understand that R&L Freight may arrive at any time on that day. If R&L Freight attempts a delivery and the customer or a representative of the customer, for whatever reason is not available, R&L will contact Aeration Supply, Inc and another day will be scheduled. If a re-delivery occurs, the customer will be charged a re-delivery fee of $80 to $150 depending on the distance from the R&L terminal.

A forklift is not required in most cases as R&L freight can set the skid on the ground for you. The exception is MULTIWEAVE™ Pond Liner which always must be removed by use of a forklift.

R&L Motor Freight may occasionally charge other fees such as limited access fees, residential delivery fees or fuel surcharges. Aeration Supply, Inc makes every effort to charge the customer only that amount charged to us by the freight company. Aeration Supply, Inc does not “up charge” for freight. Any additional fees beyond that which was quoted is the customer’s responsibility to pay for.

Please Note: MULTIWEAVE™ Pond Liner deliveries will require a fork-lift with fork extensions to remove the liner from the truck. It is the customer’s responsibility to be prepared for delivery of any MULTIWEAVE™ pond liners.

It is the customer’s responsibility to inspect the package for damage. If damage is present, please contact us at 715-821-5554 for further instructions.
