Shipment
Once your order ships, you will receive a Shipped email with a tracking number. Note that it in some cases it may take 24-48 hours for tracking to begin.
U.S. Asset Advisors fully insures all its shipments, and each package over $1,000 requires a signature upon delivery. Should anything happen while your package is in transit to you, it will be covered by our insurance policy subject to the other conditions set forth in this Section 13. However, once a package is shown to be delivered by the carrier, U.S. Asset Advisors responsibility ends.
It is important you are prepared to be physically present at the shipping address when the shipment is delivered. We will not accept responsibility if the carrier leaves the package without your acceptance, leaves the package without a signature, or leaves the package with anyone other than the addressee. This includes but is not limited to a building manager, neighbor, a business mailroom, drop-off location such as mailboxes, etc., post office (PO) boxes, the UPS Store, the Military Postal Service, etc. Note that if you use one of these locations as the shipping address, U.S. Asset Advisors is not responsible. In addition, if the carrier returns the package to sender due to no one being available to receive your package, we will not accept responsibility if something goes wrong in the return to sender process. This includes the package not making it back to our distribution center, damage or missing contents, etc.
Additionally, we will not assume responsibility for packages that are forwarded, signed for by apartment/complex building management, a business mailroom, the Military Postal Service or any person(s) that is not the addressee listed on the order.
Delivered but not Received –Please note that U.S. Asset Advisors will not be responsible for reimbursements or insurance claims on packages that are successfully delivered as addressed. Our liability and insurance cease the moment the package is signed for or left at the specified delivery address. Any issues or problems with a shipment MUST be reported to U.S. Asset Advisors within two (2) calendar days of recorded delivery, else U.S. Asset Advisors may deny any claim.
Lost in Transit – Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days of most recent tracking for USPS and 3 days of most recent tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.
Missing or Damaged Contents – This is defined as packages that arrive to you with missing items, wrong items, or damaged items. You must notify us with 48 hours of the delivery timestamp on the tracking. Failure to do so will result in loss of insurance coverage.
For any of these issues, U.S. Asset Advisors assumes responsibility to pursue any claim with the insurance company; provided that you agree to cooperate with us in filing a claim for damaged/lost merchandise in any manner we may reasonably request, including the signing of an Affidavit stating the circumstances surrounding the damaged/lost merchandise within the allotted time frame. If we determine the package is lost or damaged, we will file a claim. Once the claim is filed, we reserve the right to reship your items or refund your money at our discretion.
