General

What is the cost of delivery?
The cost of delivery is dependent on the distance from the seller and the size of the item.
Delivery costs are split into two categories depending on the manpower needed:
1 man deliveries: If driving distance is <30 minutes from the seller, delivery cost = $35
2 man deliveries: If driving distance is <30 minutes from the seller, delivery cost = $65
If the driving distance is more than 30 minutes, pricing for both categories will move up accordingly depending on the distance. -
How does the return policy work?
If you are unhappy with the item purchased and you are not covered by our Gohock Guarantee, you must contact the seller in order to discuss any issues or returns. It is up to the seller to decide whether or not they will take back your item.
