  How is the transport carried out?

  We are able to organize deliveries throughout the world. Our products can be delivered by air, sea and/or truck according to customer's geographical location and preferences. Standard delivery is carried out by sea. You can ask anytime a quote for air freight shipping.

  I would like to postpone a delivery. What can I do?

  It is possible to postpone a delivery only if the products have not entered the manufacturing process (about one week after you placed your order). The forwarder will be able to provide a storage service once the goods will be arrived. The products will be stored at your risk and related costs will be charged.

  When should I plan my salon opening after I place my order?

  You should not plan your salon’s opening until you have all of your furniture delivered from us. We strive to meet delivery times and in most cases we can assure that manufacturing time will be met. We have much less control on shipping operations. To be safe, in order to plan for contingencies such delays in shipping departure, sea conditions, delays with customs operations, etc., you should consider a few weeks more for the delivery.

  Can I change my delivery option after my order have been placed?

  You should decide on desired delivery option (standard seafreight or airfreight) at the time of order confirmation. If no special delivery is requested at the time of order confirmation, standard option applies. If you like to switch from standard delivery to an airfreight delivery we'll try to accomodate your request if the goods are still in the manufacturing process. You will be notified about the extra charge required and payment must be received before the goods are picked up by the forwarder. After the goods have been delivered to the forwarder it will not be possible to change delivery option.

  Storage Charges?

  Once units have cleared customs and have been delivered to GAMMA & BROSS USA’s distribution center, the orders are prepared and scheduled for delivery. The Client(s) are to be notified of shipment scheduling and tracking information, if applicable. If, the Client(s) or the final destination is not available for delivery within seven (7) business days of the units’ arrival, GAMMA & BROSS USA reserves the right to charge a one dollar ($1) per square foot per day storage fee. Delays in the receipt of the balance will delay the shipment, and storage fees will be applied starting seven (7) business days after goods are ready for delivery. In the event the Client(s) shall default in their obligation to pay an outstanding balance, the Client(s) shall be liable for the costs of cancellation, attorney's fees, disbursements, court costs, late charges, freight charges incurred and storage fees and any other charges relating to the order.

• DAMAGES

  Are the goods insured against possible damages?

  Yes, all the goods are insured against any possible damage that may occur during the transport. We pack our goods in the best possible way. Goods are packed into wooden crates with foam inside and bubble wrap to protect them from scratches. So while freight damage is not a frequent occurrence because of our packaging practices, no shipment is immune to the risk of loss or damage. It is the responsibility of the consignee to unload the shipment, inspect it upon receipt, and appropriately note any damage or shortage on the delivering carrier’s delivery bill... before signing the delivery bill. Freight carriers rarely assume any responsibility for damage or loss that is not noted on the delivery bill at the time of delivery. If you are not able to check the goods at the time of delivery, sign the document stating that possible remarks can be made later, after your duly check. In case of damages, you should immediately take the pictures of any damage occurred to the products and to the crates. To file a claim with the insurance company the forwarding agent needs the pictures as well as the delivery document you signed with your written reserves. You will also need to accompany the document with a letter stating that you discovered concealed damage after unpacking the material at the final destination, if damages were not discovered at the time of delivery. All documents stating the damage (reserve letter, pictures, insurance certificate and letter of claim) must be sent to our forwarder's agent within 48 hours after damage discover. After this, claim will be handled by our forwarder's agent. After successfully filing the claim, we will either send the replacements for the damaged parts or manufacture a new piece if it is not possible to replace parts.

• PAYMENT

  What types of payments do you accept?

  We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express. Please ask a representative for other cards. Wire Transfers are also accepted. Large orders are usually paid by wire transfer or check. In this case a 30% deposit will be enough to confirm your order.

  Do you provide financing for your equipment?

  Yes we do offer financing. Please contact us to have more information on financing and leasing options. We also accept all major credit cards, so you could also ask their customer care centers to find out more about the financing plans they can offer.

• WARRANTY AND CERTIFICATIONS
