Healthcare Product Notes & Disclaimers

Opentip makes clear that healthcare products (face shields, masks, coveralls, raincoats, gloves, glasses) sold through Opentip.com are not medical grade products. They are intended to help slow the spread of human droplets via sneezes, coughs, and breathing.

These non-medical products are not intended to act as medical devices or other medical products, and Opentip makes no warranties, expressed or implied, that the healthcare products prevent infection or the transmission of viruses or diseases. If you have any specific questions about a medical matter, please consult a doctor or other healthcare provider.

Standard Ground

Standard Shipping method at Opentip.com is ground shipping.
Most small-to-medium-sized orders will be shipped via UPS, FedEx, and the United States Postal Service.
Opentip.com will email you a tracking number and you can track the order. Shipments usually arrive 1-6 business days from the time they leave the warehouse.
(Note: Signatures are not required for Small Parcel deliveries, but the decision to leave your package will ultimately be at the discretion of the delivering carrier. If you have any special delivery instructions for the carrier, we recommend placing a note on your door on the day of delivery referencing your tracking number and request. )

Expedited Shipping

Expedited Shipping Services are available including Next Day, 2−Day, 3−Day Services.
Expedited shipping fees are based on item size, weight and the delivery destination. Multiple item rates will be calculated separately.
Expedited shipping is not available for orders shipped to P.O. boxes or APO⁄FPO⁄DPO addresses.
Opentip.com will not be liable for expedited shipping charges due to delays in order lead times. Expedited shipping services are offered only to speed up the transit time. We have no control over the in−house time of an order (the time prior to shipment) and do not guarantee or promise delivery dates, which is why we request that our customers plan ahead and place timely orders that allow for both in­house and transit time.
Lead time stated on the product pages represents the average time for manufacturers to ship their products and is not to be taken as a guarantee. Instead, it should be used as a guideline for estimating lead time. Contact Customer Service to arrange for expedited shipping.

Truck Freight − Oversize⁄Overweight Items

Larger items will be shipped via truck freight.
Due to difficulty of obtaining a precise shipping quote until you place an order, the shipping estimate for freight delivery is an average. If the final delivery cost does not deviate beyond 10% from the estimate, you will be charged the estimated quote. If it is far beyond, we will contact you to obtain your authorization before making final shipment.
Items shipped by truck freight are delivered to curbside or driveway only and may incur an oversized item surcharge. For any additional delivery needs or questions, please contact us.
Truck freight orders require someone available to accept the delivery. Most carriers will contact you to set up a delivery time, usually a 2−4 hour appointment window during normal business hours. If the carrier is unable to contact the customer, the customer will then be responsible for any storage fees and/or freight charges back to the manufacturer in addition to the original shipment expense.
Most residential addresses do not have a loading dock. Some oversize or overweight items may require lift gate services (with extra charge) to unload if the delivery address does not have an accessible loading dock. The customer is responsible for bringing the items into their home or garage. Most trucking companies will deliver during normal business hours, Monday through Friday.

Estimated Transit Time

Most orders are shipped within 1−3 business days. On each product page we display the particular manufacturer's stated lead time, which refers to the time from receipt of your order to when it's ready for pickup. This lead time does not factor time in transit with the shipping carrier.
Standard Ground: 1−6 Business Days
Truck Freight: 7−14 Business Days
Note: The above delivery time is only an estimate which is not guaranteed. We are not in a position to guarantee delivery time, nor do we have control of it in certain circumstances. In an exception, delay may occur due to factors out of our control, such as back order from manufacturers, shipping carrier delay or delivery failure. Such delay shall not hold us liable for any consequence. As a business, however, we understand the importance of prompt delivery and would strive to do our best. Please find more details here.

Outside the 48 States

We offer shipping to Hawaii, Alaska and International addresses on most items weighing 150 pounds or less.
Due to carrier⁄manufacturer restrictions, some items cannot be shipped to Alaska, Hawaii or International addresses. You may find the Restricted States⁄Country Notice on the product page. The shipping rate to Alaska, Hawaii or International addresses will vary based on the destination, weight and dimensions of the package(s), and shipping method. Your estimated shipping cost will be displayed at the checkout page before you submit your order. Extra shipping charges may be applied, and we will contact you to approve the extra charges if necessary.
Attention International Buyers: Please note that Opentip.com is not responsible for any taxes, duties or fees including brokerage fees and customs that are associated with any purchase. These additional charges are the customer's responsibility.

About Estimated Shipping Times

Your satisfaction is our priority. At Opentip.com we work to bring you the best possible service and accurate shipping times for our products. These times are estimates only.
The "Shipping Note" is provided to Opentip.com by each manufacturer and is an estimate of the average number of business days it takes the manufacturer to process your order and ship the item from its warehouse. These shipping times are not guaranteed. If you have a time−sensitive project we recommend that you contact us and arrange expedited shipping.
Products marked "In Stock " are items that we have in stock or for which the manufacturer has provided us a real−time inventory feed. These items are normally shipped from the warehouse within three business days, however, these products are subject to prior sale and availability, and lead times are not guaranteed.
Occasionally, items shown to be in stock or available get pre−sold. On the rare occasions this occurs, you will be sent an email notification that your item is on backorder. You have the option to wait for the item, cancel your order for a full refund or select a different item to order. Custom−made products can have varying ship times and we recommend ordering custom products well in advance to avoid project delays.
Opentip.com is not liable for costs associated with shipment delays.

Damaged & Defective Goods

At Opentip.com, we understand that a product may get damaged in transit or, on occasion, there may be a manufacturer product defect. Rest assured, we will stand by you during this process and make sure we do everything we can to bring it to a satisfying and timely conclusion − at no expense to you. For us to offer this level of service, however, we need a little help from the customer in the form of a detailed product inspection immediately upon delivery. This will make things much easier if you decide to return the item.

Small Package Deliveries

For small packages delivered by the United States Postal Service, UPS or FedEx that are damaged in transit, please contact our Customer Service team immediately instead of refusing the package. If damages are reported within 7 Days for UPS or FedEx deliveries, we can file a claim on behalf of the customer and work to quickly resolve it. Please be aware that replacements or refunds can be hindered or denied if the customer fails to notify Opentip.com of defective or damaged merchandise within two business days of receipt.

Large Package Deliveries

Immediate inspection is especially important when receiving large items (such as a bath tub, large sink or furniture) from LTL and common freight carriers. In this case, it is important to notate any damage on the bill of lading or receipt when you sign for the delivery, even if the package appears only slightly damaged. All damages should be reported to Opentip.com within 48 hours of delivery.
FOR A SHIPMENT SHORTAGE: If you feel part of your shipment is missing, count the pieces and check the number against what is indicated on your delivery receipt. Then write a precise description of the shortage on both your copy and the freight's copy.
FOR VISIBLE DAMAGE: If the containers in your shipment show visible signs of damage, open them immediately to check the contents, and ask the driver to inspect the contents with you. Then, write a precise description of the damage on both your copy and carrier's copy of the delivery receipt.
SPECIAL NOTES: The consignee is not justified in refusing a damaged shipment unless the damage has made the goods worthless. In cases of partial damage or loss, the consignee should accept the entire shipment and determine whether it can be repaired or retained with an allowance.
FOR CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE: As soon as possible after delivery, unpack and inspect your shipment. Should you discover a concealed loss or damage, report it to us immediately and request an inspection within 48 hours of the delivery date. While you wait for the inspection, make every attempt to leave the containers and packing materials as they were when you first discovered the loss or damage.
If a consignee does not sign to show damage or loss to the carrier upon receipt of shipment, or if a claim is not reported within prescribed time limit, such a claim will be denied and not paid. The receiver will be responsible for the loss.
ALL DAMAGED PRODUCT AND ITS PACKAGING MUST BE KEPT UNTIL CLAIM IS SETTLED.
Please note that returned items found to be in working condition or shipped as ordered may not be eligible for a full refund and return shipping may be deducted from the refunded amount.
