Please be advised that a $4.50 minimum order fee will be applied to all orders less than $50.00.
3. Delivery: We will make every effort to ship in accordance with the delivery option you have chosen.

Please contact Customer Support AT 754-800-4108 if you have any questions about warranties. In no event shall SGS Zone be responsible for the warranty of the products we distribute.
7. Shipments: Title and risk of loss pass when merchandise is shipped (FOB Shipping Point), however, we will assist you if merchandise is verified as damaged in transit. If damages occur in transit, please take the following action: Do not accept a visibly damaged product until the person making the delivery has endorsed the bill of lading with a statement of the extent of the damage at the time of delivery. If damage is concealed and found after unpacking, retain all packing material and immediately call us. Concealed damage must be reported within 24 hours from time of receipt of shipment. Please notify us immediately of damages so that we can provide you with assistance on the claim with the freight carrier. Short shipments must be reported within 24 hours of receipt of shipment.
