United Parcel Service (UPS)

  • ALFA sends most of its Domestic & Canadian ground shipments via UPS. UPS also offers Next Day, 2nd Day & 3rd-day Select delivery services.
  • ALFA can utilize other carriers for special requests & circumstances, but we pass on applicable surcharges imposed by those freight servers.
  • All ALFA Invoices include the UPS Tracking Numbers which can be tracked at (www.ups.com).

Motor Freight Carriers

  • Due to the size and/or weight limitations of most ground shipment carriers (150 pounds per box for UPS), some shipments may require the use of a Truck Carrier.
  • ALFA’s preferred carriers are YRC & UPS Freight for these types of shipments.
  • Shipments sent via alternate Trucking Carriers will need to be shipped Freight Collect.

Proof of Delivery

  • If you require proof of delivery for one of your orders, please provide a written request within 30 days of ALFA’s Invoice date.
  • We include Tracking Numbers for all UPS Shipments on ALFA Invoices for your convenience.

Claims (Damage in Transit/Concealed Damage)

  • If your shipment arrives damaged, please photograph the damage, refuse the shipment, and let ALFA know immediately. If the damaged in-transit order was shipped on ALFA’s shipping account (“prepay and add”), ALFA will contact the carrier and initiate the claim procedure. If the order was shipped “collect” or “third party” on your shipping account, you are responsible for filing a damage claim with the carrier.
  • Orders must be inspected upon receipt to ensure all products are in good working order and that no concealed damage is present. Concealed damage and “dead on arrival” goods must be reported to ALFA within 5 business days of order receipt.
  • Please save all original carton(s) and all related packing materials, as inspection of these materials may be required by the carrier to validate a damage in transit claim.
  • Please do not use, alter or tamper with goods that may be damaged or defective.

Product Returns (Ordered Incorrectly)

  • Returns must arrive at ALFA 30 days from the date of RA# issuance, or the RA will be considered closed.
