Residential deliveries, inside deliveries or deliveries to small businesses that do not have adequate order receiving facilities (i.e. without a receiving dock or forklift), will necessitate special handling by the Common Carrier. Special handling equipment as well as the extra man-hours involved incurs an additional charge by the Common Carrier that will be passed on to the customer, and the Residential or Special Delivery/Handling fee of $75.00 will be charged when applicable.
