Defined, curb-side delivery means it is the customer's responsibility to have the means to unload whatever is being delivered. For example, the customer must have a forklift, loading dock, or some other means to safely remove items from a truck too heavy to remove by hand. FREE FREIGHT, according to the Terms & Conditions of the Discount Equipment Sales website means that Discount Equipment Sales will pay all inland freight charges; however, and as defined above, this does not mean that we will pay for any residential, tail-gate, change of address or any additional charges that might accrue by services other than the basic freight delivery.
