These “scratch & dent” machines are not factory warranted, but they do carry a 90 day parts warranty only thru Redmond Machinery. If the product has any minor scratches or dents, these blemishes will be visible on the machine you purchase, thus the term “Scratch & Dent”.

"FREE FREIGHT" as indicated on the Redmond Machinery site is considered "Curb Side Delivery Only" to one location. It is therefore understood that the customer receiving his/her shipment must have the means of removing the merchandise off the back of a commercial freight truck. There is always an option that the customer may retrieve his/her shipment from a local freight terminal at no additional charge. The location of this terminal may vary. If you have any questions please call 1-800-428-9898 and ask one of our helpful salespersons.

Truck Deliveries - (Does Not Apply to UPS Deliveries)
Commercial Truck Freight Lines offer what is termed “Curbed Side Delivery” which means it is the responsibility for the customer who is receiving the shipment to have the means to unload whatever is being delivered. An example of this would be a forklift or loading dock for items that cannot be lifted off by hand. FREE FREIGHT according to our web site is where Wm. J. Redmond & Son, Inc. or the manufacturer pays all inland freight charges; however, we do not pay for any Residential, Tail-Gate, Change of Address or any additional charges that might be accrued by services other than the basic freight delivery. These services should be pre-arranged with your Wm. J. Redmond & Son, Inc. sales representative at the time of placing your order.
Wm. J. Redmond & Son, Inc. can request that the delivering freight line call our customer prior to delivery to make additional arrangements. Please note it is not the responsibility of Wm. J. Redmond & Son, Inc. to contact customers with delivery information. Customers wanting the delivering PRO number or any further information from the freight line should make their Wm. J. Redmond & Son, Inc. sales representative aware of this request at the time of placing their order. Customers can either email their sales representative or call Wm. J. Redmond & Son, Inc. @ 800-428-9898. Any costs associated with these additional services (Tailgate, Residential, etc) are the customer’s responsibility and can either be requested and paid for at the time the order is placed or make arrangements with the delivering freight line to pay them directly at the time of delivery.
The three options available for truck deliveries are the following:
Business Deliveries - No additional charges will be incurred as long as there is a forklift or dock where the merchandise can de offloaded from the tractor trailer. If you require "Tailgate Service" you could be charged for that service; Wm. J. Redmond & Son, Inc. is not responsible for that charge. Tailgate Charges may vary. Our experience is that “Tailgate Charges Deliveries” to a business usually run about $35.00 - $125.00; however, it could be higher.
Residential Deliveries - Commercial Freight Lines have the right to charge an additional fee over the basic freight charge for Residential Deliveries with or without tailgate service. This fee is an additional charge imposed by the freight line and Wm. J. Redmond & Son, Inc. is not responsible for these charges. You can arrange this additional service with the freight line and pay them directly. Residential/Tailgate Charges may vary. Our experience is that "Residential Tailgate Delivery Charges" can range from $35.00 to $125.00; however, it could be higher.
Terminal Pick Up – We have found that this is a good alternative if you choose not to have your shipment sent to a residential address or the business location. This allows some leeway to you as far as your time since many terminals have extended hours and some are even open on the weekend. Wm. J. Redmond & Son, Inc. can provide you with a local terminal phone number and you can arrange to have your order ready at their dock.
Wm. J. Redmond & Son, Inc. requests that you consider one of the above mentioned deliveries means prior to placing an order; this will reduce confusion when receiving your order. If you order online, please indicate in the comments field what delivery means you would like to use.
Thank you.
