All Aboveground Pros pricing INCLUDES normal ground delivery within the 48 contiguous states. There are NO hidden or surprise shipping/freight charges. Shipment of above ground pool packages are delivered by "common carrier".

All deliveries are curbside for customer unloading. Aboveground Pros' responsibility with respect to shipments made by common carrier ends with the issues of the bill of lading. Any damages or shortages should be noted on the receiving freight bill and filed with the delivering carrier by the homeowner. Inspect all cartons and note any possible damage on the freight bill prior to signing for receipt of the products. Then we can give priority to and act on your behalf with the freight company.

Shipping & Deliveries

• Inspect all cartons and note any damage or possible concealed damage on the freight bill prior to signing for receipt of or receiving the products. This will allow you the chance to refuse the item(s) if damaged or defective. Should you not have time to inspect; please sign the receipt as 'uninspected'' instead of your signature. By applying your signature, you are signing a document stating that you have inspected the item(s) and it (they) are in good condition. In this case, the claim must be filed by you with the freight company as we will have no recourse once an item(s) is/are signed for.
• Should the product shipment be signed for and no notes are made indicating any possible or real damages, then the consumer of the product(s) becomes the legal owner of the merchandise and Aboveground Pros, the seller, can no longer file a damage claim with the freight carrier and therefore any damage(s) would be yours to claim with the freight carrier, should any be realized.

• Should product shipment damage(s) be noted on the freight bill, be certain the delivery driver signs the same receipt you do and you retain a copy of the signed documentation for your records.

• Aboveground Pros' responsibility with respect to shipments made by common carrier ends with the issues of the bill of lading.

All shipments are scheduled for residential delivery; however we will not pay for, be responsible for or reimburse for any additional residential delivery fees in which a truck with a lift gate is or has been requested by the receiver.
