Method/Carriers
(United States) - All ground shipments less than a standard pallet (40" x 44" x 48") or 500 pounds ship UPS-ground unless you specify an alternate carrier. To minimize freight costs for shipments over 500 pounds, please specify your carrier. Shipments requested next day air or morning delivery, will ship UPS-red or Federal Express. These are the most cost effective methods for small parcel air shipments if delivery times are acceptable. AIC has accounts with these carriers and passes the discounts on to our customers. For UPS and Federal Express, our shipping terms are F.O.B. origin, freight collect.
(Europe & other areas) - Standard orders are shipped ex-works Maastricht. Please specify your freight forwarder. Shipments requested next day air for next day delivery will be shipped UPS within Europe unless otherwise specified. Contact your European Sales Representative for more detailed information.
Insurance
For UPS and Federal Express shipments, AIC will purchase insurance on your behalf. This includes the amount with shipping charges. We recommend you purchase insurance with all other carriers. The risk of loss transfers to your account upon delivery to a carrier for shipment.
