Distribution & Shipping Policies

Automann reserves the right to require minimum annual purchase requirements for its distributors.

Pricing subject to change without notice.

Shipping Location

Your order will be processed and shipped from either your local or specified alternative warehouse. Smaller in-stock orders being shipped by UPS/FedEx, usually ship within 1 to 3 business days (excluding weekends and holidays); freight orders may take longer. You can check on the expected ship time, by logging in and selecting "Track Orders" then click "Check Status" next to your order. UPS/FedEx can usually be tracked at all steps of the order process; freight carriers do not typically provide status updates.

Suspension of Service Guarantee

UPS & Fedex have modified Service Guarantees for all shipments from any origin to any destination.

UPS Next Day Air® and FedEx Overnight shipments may be eligible for a refund if not delivered on time; this does not apply to second-day or third-day shipments.

Carrier Delays

Automann is not liable for transit and delivery delays by third parties, including and not limited to all LTL and Parcel Carriers.

Order Modifications:

Successful accommodation of a customer’s request to modify confirmed shipping mode, carrier and/or level of service at the time when the order is ready to ship, is contingent upon both Automann’s and the carrier’s ability to effectuate such last-minute change and cannot be guaranteed.


Shipping Considerations (Identifying oversized packages)

Shipping Considerations Explanation

* Surcharges are assessed by UPS/FedEx and are in addition to the transportation charges. Shipments that are assessed these surcharges are exempt from all UPS/FedEx service guarantees (Ground, Air or International).
** Length is always the longest side of the package. Width is second longest. Height is the remaining side.

Address Corrections

  • Incorrect or incomplete addresses are subject to extra charges of $21.00 per package up to maximum of $147.00 per shipment. *Revised for 2024

UPS/FedEx Shipping Fees

Automann passes the UPS and FedEx shipment fees on to you.

Reporting Damages or Shortages

Automann must be notified of any shipments in regard to damage or loss within five (5) business days from the date of delivery. Any damages or shortages must be noted on the delivery receipt with the carrier at the time of delivery. It is also best practice to provide pictures of any damage including that of the packaging and product. Failure to timely report a claim or note any issues on the delivery receipt can result in denial of claim or credit by the carrier.

Drop Ship Fees

  • $4.00 fee applies, if we are using your UPS/FedEx Account number.
  • $8.00 fee applies, if we are using our Automann UPS/FedEx Account.
