Shipping Policy
COMAL puts forth great effort to ensure that all orders are shipped in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. However, we will not guarantee the delivery date of any order. All orders placed on this site are subject to product availability and will be shipped according to our shipping policies.
Shipping Destinations
COMAL currently ships worldwide to any street address. Orders cannot be delivered to PO Boxes.
Some rural and/or military sites may not be accessible to our shippers. In these cases, we will attempt to notify you and help arrange for you to pick up the order at the shipper's main terminal.
All international orders require approval of a freight quote to be provided via email before shipment.
International orders require additional validation in order to be processed, including but not limited to verification of billing/shipping addresses, phone number, and email address. To ensure your order is processed and shipped in a timely manner, please provide the most accurate information.
Each order may only have one "ship to" address. If you require multiple "ship to" addresses, please order separately for each address.
Shipping Locations
Most orders ship from one of our distribution centers located in Texas. Shipping charges are automatically calculated using one of these distribution centers as the point of origin.
Shipping Methods and Charges
COMAL ships orders to both commercial addresses and residential addresses. Commercial addresses are defined as business addresses situated on commercially zoned real estate, as determined by the freight carrier. Residential addresses include homes, apartments, condominiums, and other dwellings designated by the carrier as a residential address. Deliveries to residential addresses may incur additional fees. Businesses operated from a house, apartment, or other dwelling are not considered commercial addresses and will be charged any applicable residential delivery fees.
Most orders are shipped via Parcel Carrier. The shipping charges are automatically calculated online based on both the weight and dimensions of the carton in which your order will be shipped. In order to give you the best possible rate, we will contact you with a quote of the shipping charges for items that do not qualify for Free Shipping using the email address you provided with your order. You will not be charged for this order until you have accepted the shipping quote we have provided. Failure to accept these charges or respond to our attempts to contact you may result in order cancellation.
Some oversized or heavy items requiring special handling may be placed on a wooden pallet and shipped via common carrier (truck freight). Common carrier shipments are delivered curbside, that is, at the end of the driveway or along the street curb. Commercial addresses with loading docks will have the delivery made at the dock. Common carrier shipments require a signature at the time of delivery.
IMPORTANT: You will need to be sure that you have sufficient and proper equipment and personnel to unload products delivered via common carrier, as their drivers are not required to provide assistance in unloading your order. If you require methods and/or services not specified above, including but not limited to inside delivery, liftgate delivery, set-up & assembly, upstairs/high-rise delivery, delivery notification, residential delivery, or date specific delivery, you must contact us for a price quote on the desired additional service(s). The charges for these additional services will be in addition to any shipping charges
Your credit card will not be billed without your approval. If we determine that additional charges are necessary (for example, residential delivery) that you have not approved, your order will not ship and we will attempt to contact you using the email address and phone number you provided with the order.
COMAL ship orders C.O.D.
Split Shipments and Backorders
COMAL will attempt to ship all orders complete from one location in the fewest number of shipping cartons required.
On rare occasions there may be an item on backorder or still in-transit to our warehouse from the manufacturer. We will attempt to contact you by phone to explain the situation and offer solutions.
Because we try to use as much of our warehouse space as possible to carry inventory, we are not able to hold items on partial orders for a single delivery. We also cannot hold paid merchandise for extended periods of time.
