Will-Call & Hempel Pipe Local Delivery
We will call to schedule your delivery and or will notify you when your order is ready for pickup.
Shipping
We state that most all products Usually Ship Same Day. If we encounter a problem with products having a longer than expected lead time we will reach out to you and let you know of the situation. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to a residence due to weight and dimensions. Orders that exceed 140lbs must ship LTL and the receiver must have a receiving dock or the ability to unload with a fork truck. Should your order require lift gate service we will contact you prior to shipment for any increased costs due to the unloading situation for your approval or we will deny your order and refund your entire amount.
Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.

If the ordering error is on your end you will be responsible for shipping charges and will not be reimbursed for original shipping fees.
