Freight LTL/FTL Shipping Services
Global Hookah, Inc. is also able to meet the demand of its Business customers who desire a high volume shipment by utilizing freight LTL and FTL services a more cost effective approach than shipping multiple packages with UPS services. In the event your order was shipped using a freight option, Global Hookah, Inc. shall provide your Business with the applicable freight carrier and contact details on your attached invoice along with the details below of how to prepare for delivery of your Freight shipment. You may visit the carriers web site approximately 12 to 24 hours from the time we provide you with this information to track your order and determine the actual transit time and delivery date of your shipment.
Please note that you are not authorized to use any additional freight services such as lift gate delivery, residential delivery, appointment delivery, inside delivery, limited access delivery, etc. on this shipment unless it has been pre-arranged and confirmed in writing with our company. In the event you require such services and these services were not pre-arranged with our company you will incur additional fees associated with the same which are entirely your responsibility.
Freight LTL services and rates are based on a standard dock to dock service at commercial locations only. Unless you have pre-arranged in writing with Global Hookah, Inc. that you require additional services such as lift gate delivery, residential delivery, appointment delivery, inside delivery, or limited access delivery, the Freight LTL rate that you have been billed will reflect a standard dock to dock service at a commercial location. If you do not have a dock or forklift at your commercial location, then you are responsible for unloading the freight box by box from the truck. The freight driver is not responsible for assisting with unloading the freight off of the back of the truck. Be aware that in most instances, due to carrier liability from potential risk of injury, freight carriers typically will not permit you to unload your freight from the back of the truck if you do not have a standard dock or forklift, and will then require the use of the trucks liftgate for a surcharge. Be advised that Global Hookah, Inc. is not responsible for this added charge nor the circumstances surrounding the same with respect to the carrier. In the event your Business facility does not have a standard freight dock or a forklift, then it is your responsibility to advise our customer support team of this so we may arrange for this special accommodation at the time of your order. You are not permitted to refuse your shipment in the event the freight carrier requires your Business to utilize the liftgate to unload your freight and you are imposed a surcharge for this service. Be aware that by scheduling any special accommodations, including but not limited to liftgate service, inside delivery, limited access delivery, etc., at the time you place your order with Global Hookah, Inc., we are usually able to obtain the same at a discounted rate as opposed to on demand services at the time your merchandise is being delivered to you by the applicable freight carrier.
It is very important to track your freight shipment with the selected carrier listed above to determine the estimated delivery date. Freight LTL transit times usually do not come with a service guarantee unless pre-arranged in writing requesting a guaranteed transit time service at a premium surcharge. Therefore, you should take the opportunity to contact the freight carrier to determine what date and time frame your freight shipment will be delivered to your location. It is usually best to contact the freight carriers local service center between 7 AM and 9 AM in your local time zone on the day of delivery to determine the estimated delivery time frame for your shipment. If the freight carrier shows up to your location and the location is closed or there is no one to accept the freight shipment, you may be responsible for redelivery charges on your shipment which will be billed in addition to the shipping charges listed on the attached invoice. In the event your Business is not open and there is no one at your Business between the hours of 8:00AM to 5:00PM to receive your shipment, then it is imperative you contact the applicable freight carriers local service center to schedule a delivery appointment.
When the freight carrier arrives at your location, unless you have pre-arranged in writing with Global Hookah, Inc. that you require additional services such as lift gate delivery, residential delivery, appointment delivery, inside delivery, or limited access delivery, you should not use or sign off on these services even if the driver insists without prior communication and approval from Global Hookah, Inc. in writing. If you use these special services or acknowledge with your signature on both copies of the Freight Bill of Lading that any additional services were performed, Global Hookah, Inc. reserves the right to bill your account for these services. If you have any issues with your freight shipment or have any doubts regarding the Freight Bill of Lading at the time of delivery, do not sign the paperwork that the driver hands you and immediately contact Global Hookah, Inc. at 1-888-346-6524. You have the right to make the freight driver wait a few minutes while contacting Global Hookah, Inc. for clarification. By failing to contact Global Hookah, Inc. in the event any issue arises to seek clarification, you assume all liability for the outcome and Global Hookah, Inc. shall not be liable for any added charges associated with your decisions.
Listed below are the different special services that may be listed on the Freight Bill of Lading and these services should not be utilized without prior permission by Global Hookah, Inc. unless pre-arranged in writing and pre-paid for:
Lift Gate Delivery
If you use the lift gate located on the back of the freight truck to lower the freight to the ground to accomplish delivery of your shipment, then you have used a lift gate service. Do not use this service unless pre-arranged and pre-paid with Global Hookah, Inc. prior to shipping your order.
Residential Delivery
A Residential Delivery is defined as delivery to a location that is a home, including a Business operating out of a home. If you are having freight shipped to a residential address, then it is your responsibility to notify Global Hookah, Inc. in writing prior to placing your order to make sure that this service is pre-arranged and pre-paid for.
Appointment Delivery
Freight LTL services are not guaranteed unless a guaranteed service is requested and pre-paid for. Therefore, freight carriers will deliver freight from morning to night during normal operating hours for most Businesses. If you require a specific time or time frame for your delivery, then it is your responsibility to notify Global Hookah, Inc. in writing prior to placing your order to make sure that this service is pre-arranged and pre-paid for.
Inside Delivery
When you request that the freight carrier deliver your freight to a position beyond the immediate adjacent unloading position, an additional charge applies. Do not use this service unless pre-arranged and pre-paid with Global Hookah, Inc. prior to shipping your order.
Limited Access Delivery
If your location does not have a dock, alley way, or easy access to parking for delivering your freight shipment, then your location may be classified as a limited access delivery point. This also applies to construction sites and to sites where additional security measures cause delays. If the freight driver marks on the Freight Bill of Lading that your location is a limited access delivery location, then it is your responsibility to immediately notify Global Hookah, Inc. using 1-888-346-6524 before signing the Bill of Lading.
The above services may be pre-arranged at a much lower rate than using these services on demand. Again, you may not use any special services listed above without prior permission by Global Hookah, Inc. unless pre-arranged in writing and pre-paid for.
It is also important to make sure that both the shipper copy and the consignee copy of the Freight Bill of Lading contain the same markings, signatures, or written information. Confirm the number of pallets, number of cases listed on the pallets, and that the shrink wrap is fully intact before signing off and releasing the freight to your location. If your freight shipment appears to have been tampered with and/or is damaged, immediately contact Global Hookah, Inc. using 1-888-346-6524 so our customer service team may properly guide you by dictating to you proper exception language to be notated identically on both copies of the Freight Bill of Lading. Before signing off on both copies of the Freight Bill of Lading, it is critical that you specifically notate the Freight Bill of Lading with the delivery exception(s) as to any issues you are claiming with your shipment, be it shortages, damages, etc. on both copies of the Freight Bill of Lading and have the driver initial next to the exception(s) noted as well as provide you or an authorized member of your companys initials adjacent to the drivers initials. You must also contact us immediately while the driver is there using 1-888-346-6524 so we may guide you through the process of properly documenting the applicable delivery exceptions to be notated identically on both copies of the Freight Bill of Lading. Be forewarned that if you fail to contact us and follow our specific guidance on listing the proper notation for any delivery exception(s) identically on both copies of the Freight Bill of Lading, you could forfeit your claim and be without recourse. Retain your copy of the Freight Bill of Lading as proof of the delivery exceptions noted within. It is also advised to utilize your surveillance capabilities or simply take some photographs and video to preserve the delivery exception you are noting if the shipment arrives in what appears to be tampered and/or damaged condition. We will need these photographs/video in order to properly investigate your potential claim.
Transit Times Approximate & Delays in Transit
**Please note that all transit times are approximate and derive from the shipping carrier.

It is recommended and entirely your responsibility to place your order well in advance to potentially avoid any such shipping delays to your Business; however, even doing so there is no guarantee your shipment will not suffer a delay. Again, this is beyond the control of Global Hookah, Inc.
