Shipping & Delivery
ALL SALES ARE F.O.B. (FREE ON BOARD) CLEVELAND, OHIO.
All merchandise sold by American Wholesale Fireworks is sold F.O.B. Cleveland, Ohio. Title to, possession of, and risk of loss for all products transfer from American Wholesale Fireworks to the purchaser when the merchandise is released from an American Wholesale Fireworks distribution facility in Ohio to the purchaser or to a freight carrier, common carrier, freight broker, freight forwarder, or other transportation provider designated by the purchaser.
The purchaser may either personally pick up merchandise from our Ohio distribution facility or designate a freight carrier or other transportation provider to accept possession and transport the merchandise on the purchaser's behalf. Any carrier accepting possession of the merchandise shall be deemed the purchaser's designated agent for purposes of accepting delivery and transporting the merchandise.
If American Wholesale Fireworks assists the purchaser in arranging freight transportation, such assistance is provided solely as a convenience to the purchaser and shall not modify these F.O.B. terms or transfer title, possession, or risk back to American Wholesale Fireworks.
Once the merchandise has been released to the purchaser or the purchaser's designated carrier, American Wholesale Fireworks has fully satisfied its delivery obligations. From that point forward, the purchaser assumes all responsibility for transportation, possession, storage, handling, compliance with all applicable laws, permits, licensing requirements, risk of loss, theft, damage, delay, confiscation, seizure, and use of the merchandise.
All consumer fireworks are shipped via ground freight carrier unless the purchaser elects to pick up the order directly from our distribution facility.
A responsible adult authorized by the purchaser must be present to accept delivery.
After an order is placed, American Wholesale Fireworks will provide shipping information, including the freight carrier, tracking information (when available), and estimated pickup and delivery dates. Delivery dates are estimates only and are not guaranteed.
The purchaser is responsible for ensuring that the delivery location is accessible for freight delivery and that someone is available to inspect and accept the shipment.
Any additional charges resulting from missed deliveries, re-delivery requests, storage fees, limited-access locations, lift-gate services, appointment deliveries, residential delivery charges, detention charges, or other carrier-imposed fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser.
American Wholesale Fireworks shall not be liable for shipping delays caused by weather, carrier delays, labor disruptions, governmental actions, supply chain interruptions, or other events beyond its reasonable control occurring after possession has transferred pursuant to these F.O.B. terms.
Inspection & Freight Claims
The purchaser must inspect all shipments before signing the carrier's delivery receipt.
Any visible damage, shortages, missing cartons, or discrepancies must be clearly noted on the carrier's delivery receipt at the time of delivery.
Photographs of damaged products, packaging, pallets, and shipping labels may be required to process a freight claim.
Failure to document shipping damage or shortages at the time of delivery may result in denial of any freight claim.
American Wholesale Fireworks reserves the right to determine whether a claim qualifies for replacement, credit, or other remedy.
Returns, Cancellations & Restocking Fees
Due to the nature of fireworks products, all sales are final.
No returns, exchanges, or refunds will be accepted unless expressly authorized in writing by American Wholesale Fireworks.
Orders that have shipped may not be canceled.

American Wholesale Fireworks reserves the right to assess additional charges for freight, handling, packaging, administrative costs, special-order products, and other expenses incurred in connection with the order. Total deductions may exceed thirty-five percent (35%) where actual costs incurred are greater.
Any shipment refused by the purchaser for reasons other than documented shipping damage shall be subject to all outbound freight charges, return freight charges, carrier fees, handling costs, and a minimum restocking fee of fifty percent (50%) of the order value. Any refund issued shall be reduced by these amounts.
Approved refunds, if any, will be processed only after all applicable deductions have been calculated.
