Effective November 1, 2019, Sihl Inc will begin charging a 3% convenience fee to customers who choose to make a payment on their existing account balance with a credit card. The fee will be 3% of the amount being paid toward your account balance and will be added to your credit card payment. There is still no fee for paying by credit card at the time of purchase.

Sihl Inc will still accept the following payment methods on accounts receivable balances with no fee

• Checks
• Checks by Fax
• Bank Wire / ACH

International customers have two payment options:
- Pay with a credit card - Includes a 4.4% convenience fee
- Pay by bank Wire or ACH- No additional fee

Modifications

Orders that have been received and processed by Customer Service can no longer be modified. Your order has been processed once you receive your order confirmation. Orders are sent to our warehouses frequently throughout the day. As a result, we are unable to modify an order that has already been processed and sent to the warehouse for fulfillment. If additional items are required, please place a new order with Customer Service.

Cancellations

Once an order has been processed by the shipping department, it can no longer be modified or cancelled in any way. If additional items are required, please place a new order with Customer Service.

Long Lead Purchase Orders

Any orders that have extended or delayed ship dates (either by request or based on vendor lead time) cannot be cancelled or modified once entered and confirmed.

A $7.50 Small Order Fee (SOF) will be charged for all orders less than $500 starting February 1st, 2023. All other drop ship fees will be eliminated.

STANDARD ITEMS:

These are items that are stocked in multiple distribution centers and are available for same day / next day shipment. These items qualify for free freight shipments (per your terms). If a STANDARD item is not available to ship together with the rest of your free freight order, Sihl Inc will pay the shipping charges for the backorder from another site.

NON-STANDARD ITEMS

These are items that are primarily not stocked and therefore are not available for same day / next day shipment. These items do not qualify for free freight (per your terms) when combined with other types of items such as STANDARD, SAMPLE or CLEARANCE items and are not applied to the order total. NON-STANDARD items will be entered as a separate order in our system and will in turn ship separately with an approximate lead time of 5 business days. Shipping charges will apply to these items.

MOQ (MINIMUM ORDER)

Certain NON-STANDARD products that require additional setup or that yield a significant amount of waste will now require an MOQ (Minimum Order). The MOQ is listed on My.Dietzgen in both the item listing (when adding it to the cart) as well as in PDF / Excel price sheets and reports.

Submitting Will Call Orders

Will Call orders can be placed by the same methods as standard orders. Pickup location must be noted on the order

• Atlanta, GA
• Charleston, IL
• Corona, CA
• Houston, TX
• Tampa, FL
• West Haven, CT

Picking Up Will Call Orders

Will Call orders will be managed and processed according the same criteria as a standard order.
You will be notified (via shipping confirmation sent to the email address on file) once the warehouse has processed your order and it is ready for pickup.
*Must have proper paper work (either order confirmation or shipping confirmation)

Inventory

Will Call Pickups are subject to availability. If a “standard” item is not in stock at the requested pickup location, the order can either be changed to a shipment from a stocking location (shipping charges apply) or backordered pending standard resupply procedures.

Product Availability

Certain product lines may only be available in certain sites. This may limit the possibility of Will Call for certain products.

Part of Dietzgen’s freight management program is that we take full responsibility for freight claims including filing all claims with carriers for lost or damaged items. In the unfortunate circumstance of receiving a shipment from Dietzgen with damage or loss the following procedures must be followed in order to ensure you receive full credit for damaged / lost product.

All claims for lost or damaged material must be filed with Dietzgen within 30 days of delivery. Please note that Dietzgen is only responsible for the condition of our product up to the ship to location from the purchase order. If damage / loss is identified after our product has been reshipped to another location the customer will need to file a freight claim directly with the carrier used for delivery to the end user.

1. LTL Deliveries - Any possible damage / loss must be notated on the carrier’s delivery receipt at time of delivery. We highly recommend that your receiving personnel do a complete and thorough inspection of every shipment prior to signing the delivery receipt. If there is any doubt about potential damage to your items make sure to mark on the carrier’s delivery receipt "damaged material - claim will be filed". Do not specify specific items and quantities that are damaged unless you are sure that information is correct as doing so will limit the potential credit to those specific items and quantities. Failure to note potential damage and signing the delivery receipt without any exceptions will preclude your company from receiving credit for damaged / lost items.

2. Small Package Deliveries - Receive the package from the small package carrier as usual, it is not necessary to notify the driver of any damage. Report the damage directly to Dietzgen customer service and you will be issued a credit for any damaged / lost items. Do not initiate a claim directly with the carrier or call the carrier to notify them of damage as doing so interferes with Dietzgen’s claim process with the carrier.

Items sold by Dietzgen are subject to discontinuance and price change without notice. All orders are subject to acceptance at the company’s headquarters. Title passes to buyer upon delivery of the goods to the carrier.

Price exceptions, special orders and contract prices are subject to change without notice. Official review will be conducted a minimum of every calendar year. Items with limited or no sales activity will be removed from our system and default to standard pricing.
