Shipping Methods:
Frances products are typically shipped by Motor Freight Carriers, UPS, Fed Ex, or USPS depending upon shipment weight and destination. Frances will route shipments the best way unless otherwise specified. Fully insured shipments must be clearly stated on order. Glassware and ceramics will incur a charge of $3.90 per carton for protective cartons when shipping via small package carriers (i.e. UPS, FedEx) to insure safe delivery. This charge will be incorporated in the final freight charges.
California Shipments: For ceramics/glassware shipments going into California, Proposition 65 warnings must be used. We will attach these labels at no cost with written instructions on the purchase order.
State of California Proposition 65 Warning: The material used as colored decoration on the exterior of this product may contain lead and/or cadmium, chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Inside Delivery: Motor freight carrier charges are for “tailgate” delivery only. There is an additional charge for inside delivery and will be added to the invoice. This service must be requested in writing on the purchase order.
Freight Claims: Title of goods passes to the buyer once goods leave Frances. All goods should be inspected for shortage and/or damage and duly noted by the consignee on the delivery receipt if evident at time of delivery. All claims must be filed with the carrier within 15 days of receipt of shipment. We will assist as much as possible in filing claims but will not be responsible for the payment of such claims.

Other Order Information
Acknowledgements:
Order acknowledgements are typically emailed after order clarification to avoid misunderstandings and should be carefully examined with regard to all aspects of the order. All orders will be produced as acknowledged and no allowances will be made for failure to correct any discrepancies before production.
Cancellations: In the event an order is cancelled, all charges associated with work already completed will be invoiced.
Returns or Adjustments: All claims must be made within 30 days of shipment. Return orders will not be accepted without factory approval and a return authorization (RA) number. No allowance will be made for outdated catalogs or incorrect pricing. Frances reserves the right to change prices without notice.

Overage/Underage: All orders are subject to be shipped at 10% over- or under the quantity ordered. Quantities shipped 10% under the ordered quantity will be considered fulfillment of the order. For exact quantity shipments, prior arrangements must be made with factory.
