If a shipment is sent by freight/LTL to a residential address the freight company will call to schedule an appointment for delivery. If the freight company attempts delivery at the scheduled time and is unable to make contact with the receiver a fee may be incurred which is the responsibility of the customer. The fees assessed are at the sole discretion of the freight company and vary depending on the delivery location and item(s) shipped.
