If guaranteed service is unavailable for your location, we will notify you and provide alternative options.
Exclusions: Guaranteed shipping is not available for the following items: grill guards, select hitches, and poly snow items. If guaranteed shipping is selected for these items, the $85 will be refunded and the item will ship UPS Ground.
Business Days: Please note business days include Monday-Friday and exclude Saturday-Sunday.
Success Rate: Our carrier has a 99.4% success rate in meeting time-critical delivery guarantees. If delivery does not occur within the stated timeframe, the additional shipping fee will be fully refunded.
Inspection: Please perform a visual inspection of your implement in front of the delivery driver after unloading from the truck. Any damages, including but not limited to chipped paint, damaged wraps, broken tie-downs, broken pallets, or damaged equipment, must be reported to the delivery driver upon receipt and notated on the delivery receipt of the implement before the driver leaves the property. After reporting the damage to the driver, please contact our team the same day as your delivery at 833-625-0635.

Shipping to Rural Locations
Homestead Implements anticipated shipping attachments to remote or rural homesteads throughout the country. To continue offering free-shipping to these hard to reach locations, the carrier assigned to your shipment may deliver to a terminal and sub-contract out delivery to a smaller company that delivers more frequently to addresses in your region. Additionally, some carriers may only deliver once a week to remote locations or townships. Suppose you live in a remote area, at the end of a long dead-end road without a turnaround, or another rural address. In that case, the carrier may delay your shipment until another is assigned or until the carrier routinely delivers to your location.

Free Shipping Fine Print
For all “Delivery by Appointments,” you will be required to have all necessary equipment to offload the palletized implement from the back of the truck, including a tractor or other machine with the capacity to offload excessive weight. The amount of time allotted for unloading is dependent on weight:
| Weight | Allotted Time |
|---|---|
| Less than 1,000 pounds | 15 minutes |
| 1,000 – 2,500 pounds | 30 minutes |
| 2,501 – 5,000 pounds | 60 minutes |
Damages During Shipping
Upon arrival, the purchaser is responsible for inspecting the implement(s) to ensure they were not damaged in transit. For “Contactless Deliveries,” the implement(s) will be photographed by the driver, but must still be inspected for unpacking damage.
Any shortages or damages must be written on the delivery receipt. If you determine items are damaged or missing, you MUST note the item, discrepancy, and condition BEFORE you sign it. Homestead Implements is not responsible for charges incurred for outside service contractors to unload or repair without express written consent.
The purchaser is also responsible for documenting: large sections of chipped paint, gouged steel, damaged shrink wrap, broken pallets, bent equipment, missing items, or broken items.
All damages must be reported no later than five business days after delivery. The customer must relay all images and information to Homestead Implements to process a freight claim. Homestead Implements will not provide spray paint for minor dings, but will provide it for significant scratches that impact longevity.
