When making a Return Freight – Document!

When making a return freight/on a pallet you want good documentation and evidence that the product was well packed and left you in excellent condition (pics are the only way to do this).  On the other end we will check it and if there is damage you will want to claim a) The product damage and b) The shipping Charge.  This is an example:

What was shippedThis product was wrapped (but should have been better secured, you can see it is not attached to the pallet, if I was the driver I would not have signed for this and asked for it to be attached to the pallet) and the driver signed for it.

Orders over 50SF or field tiles that cannot ship UPS ground due to the risk of breakage (the crate/pallet supports the stone tiles) ship what is called Motor-Freight (commonly called freight),  another term thrown around is LTL (means Less than Truck Load), which just means you are shipping less than a full-truck load a full truck is about 10,000SF.

This post is to help customers that are receiving a LTL delivery.

One of the most popular products we have is Carrara Venato 3×6″ Subway tile and 1″ or 2″ Hexagon mosaic.  It is a great design a classic that never goes out of style.  With the mosaic and subway tile along with matching chair rail and pencil bullnose trim the Carrara Venato collection from thebuilderdepot.com allows our customers to create a perfect design whether it is new construction or an authentic 1950s remodel.

With a Camera phone (nothing fancy) one of our inside sales rep put together a story book process from stage 1 – the boxes to the final layout showing how matching mosaics compare with the subway tile.

Designing With Carrara Subway Tiles – No Longer Hip to Be Square

It was July 26th 2009 over two and a half years ago since we created the article “Designing With Carrara Subway Tiles – No Longer Hip to Be Square”  and published it on an article submission website.  What is amazing to me is that the article has been copied and reproduced over 1,000 times. With everyone and anyone selling something loosely related to to Subway tiles (Carrara or otherwise) using the article.  Even major blue chip corporations have used the article – I know this is without knowledge of the article being the copyright of  someone else.

For the most part everyone links back to our website, which has created huge success in the fight for dominance in Google.  The link back to www.thebuilderdepot.com is payment enough.

It is a pleasant enough article and amazing how even 2 1/5 years ago subway tiles had become even more popular.  The USA 5 years ago loved square tiles, if you see any commercial building that uses ...
