We’ve Got It in Stock: Order Fulfillment

 

www.copperstate.com identifies those products which are most often required by our customers. CSBN stocks over 95% of the items represented on our website, however some non-stock items are occasionally listed to represent a full range of commercial availability (phasing that way so). In-stock items will be shipped no later than on the next business day from a CSBN warehouse, while non-stock or special items will be shipped depending on availability. The availability of product may vary amongst our branch locations, and CSBN reserves the right to ship product to customers from any of its locations, or to advise customers of extended delivery times depending on the location where the product is requested. Please ask CSBN about all of your Construction & Industrial Supply needs, even if they aren’t listed on our website. Our goal is to have the products represented on our website in stock, in sufficient quantity, and available when you need them.

Pricing and Charges

 

Product: Prices and charges on our website are effective immediately when displayed on our website and are subject to change without notice. All prices are quoted in U.S. dollars. We reserve the right to pass on any surcharges or impose purchase restrictions or limits at any time. Except where noted otherwise, the List Price or Base Price displayed for products on most items represents the full retail price listed on the product itself, suggested by the manufacturer or supplier, or estimated in accordance with standard industry practice; or the estimated retail value for a comparably featured item offered elsewhere. The List Price or Base Price is a comparative price estimate and may or may not represent the prevailing price in every area on any particular day. For certain items that are offered as a set, the List Price or Suggested Price may represent "open-stock" prices, which means the aggregate of the manufacturer's estimated or suggested retail price for each of the items included in the set.

Charges: All orders are subject to applicable shipping, freight, taxes and processing charges. Estimated freight charges will be provided at the time your order is placed. See “Delivery and Will-Call Pickup” below for more information about applicable shipping charges. Shipping charges are typically waived for all orders weighing more than 150 pounds to be delivered within Arizona.

Carrier Surcharges: Carriers may impose surcharges, which vary by carrier and may change at the carrier's discretion. CSBN will pass on the surcharge.

Delivery

Orders weighing less than 150 pounds will be shipped via UPS. Orders weighing more than 150 pounds will be shipped via one of several CSBN chosen carriers depending on the shipping location. All orders are shipped F.O.B. from a CSBN distribution facility. Title and risk of loss pass to our customer on delivery to the common carrier or upon customer pickup. Orders placed on Friday (after our local cut-off time) and on weekends or holidays will be shipped on the next regular business day. See Warranties-Limited Liability.

Shipping charges for orders weighing less than 150 pounds are determined by using UPS Small Parcel for most shipments. Customers may select UPS Red, Blue or Ground options. For shipments weighing more than 150 pounds, CSBN uses a flat rate table that is based on the combined weight of all items on the order to estimate delivery time and freight charges. This simplified table approach gives CSBN the ability to quote freight at the time of the order. Flat table charges are intended to approximate CSBN’s average cost to process and ship a package of similar weight characteristics. Shipping charges for non-stocking orders and premium shipping services will be subject to the carrier's published rates. In some cases, shipping charges may be less than or greater than CSBN’s actual cost to process and ship.

Hazardous Materials

Hazardous materials may require special handling for delivery, are not service level guaranteed, and may be subject to local, state, and federal regulations which may delay or prohibit shipments. Hazardous materials will not be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii or exported outside of the contiguous United States.

UPS, Fed-Ex Ground, other package carriers & Prepaid Truck Shipments (CSBN carrier): Check your order immediately upon arrival. All damages must be noted on delivery receipt. All shortages and damages must be called into 1-800-603-6887, emailed to [email protected] within 7 calendar days.

Truck Shipment (when you select the carrier):

Check your order immediately upon arrival. All damages must be noted on delivery receipt. All damages and shortages must be called in to the trucker you chose within 7 days.

Responsibility for Merchandise and Warranties

 

It is the policy of Copper State Bolt & Nut Co. to offer only the highest quality products supplied by established and approved vendors. We assume no liability beyond replacing defective merchandise and refunding the purchase price, providing a claim is processed within a reasonable amount of time. We will not allow claims for consequential damage, transportation charges, or for labor or other expenses incurred in removing defective products or installing replacement material. Any product manufactured by Copper State is manufactured per applicable specifications and tested per those specifications in accredited laboratories.

WE HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF FITNESS, FITNESS FOR PURPOSE, AND/OR MERCHANTABILITY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OTHER THAN THE LIMITED RETURN AND REPLACEMENT RIGHT SET FORTH ABOVE ANY WARRANTIES WHICH THE MANUFACTURER MAY SUPPLY.

Compliance with Laws

Some products may be obtained from multiple supply sources located throughout the United States, or internationally, and shipped directly to the customer without sending the item through CSBN. Many states and localities have codes and regulations governing sale, offering for sale, distribution, construction, installation and use of products for certain purposes and/or containing certain regulated substances, which may vary from those in neighboring areas. CSBN relies upon information provided by the supplier of these products to ensure they are compliant with the laws of the jurisdiction into which the product is shipped. The information provided by the supplier as to the ability of the product to be sold or distributed in any particular jurisdiction is believed by CSBN to be accurate. CSBN, however, shall not be responsible for how products are used or installed or for the product's conformance to regional, state, or local codes or regulations. CSBN does not guarantee compliance with any law and assumes no responsibility for how the items are used or installed. The Customer has the sole responsibility for compliance with all applicable codes, regulations and laws and before purchase and use of the product must review and ensure full compliance with such codes, regulations and laws concerning the use or installation of the products.
