Shipping

For your convenience, we've built a shipping calculator on each of our listings. To get your shipping quote instantly, simply enter the quantity of items and your zip code into our shipping calculator and get your quote!

Things to note:

  • Shipping charges will automatically calculate at checkout
  • Shipping cost is only an estimate until you input your exact address
  • Optional Addon Delivery Options during checkout:
    • Residential Delivery: Shipping carriers offer residential address drop-off service for an additional fee. Schools, military bases, home businesses and churches are considered to be residential addresses.
    • Liftgate Delivery: Liftgates are used to lower the contents of the delivery truck to ground-level. If your order contains heavy items and you do not have a loading dock, forklift, or other methods to unload the delivery, then a liftgate is recommended.
    • Call before Delivery: If selected, an agent of the freight carrier will call you prior to delivery. To help you avoid potential re-delivery fees, we recommend this service to ensure you are available to receive your shipment.

The shipping requirements will be different for each item, but in general most freightliner truck beds are approximately four feet from the ground. Most items weighing under 150 pounds can be picked up off the bed and placed on the ground by one or two able-bodied persons. Attempting this with heavier items can place all individuals and the equipment at risk.

There have been instances of customers not being able to accept delivery because they had no way to unload their heavy or bulky items from the delivery truck without a liftgate.

For items weighing over 150 pounds, we highly recommend liftgate service if you do not have a forklift or pallet jack and access to a loading dock. Please note: The truck driver does not assist in unloading items and any liability would be assumed by the person taking the item off of the truck. If necessary, you may select a liftgate at checkout.

Effective Oct. 1, 2018 ACityDiscount and other online suppliers began collecting state sales tax on all online purchases in your state. The policy is a result of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. (2018). The ruling overturned a 1992 decision prohibiting states from collecting taxes unless a business operated a physical location in the state (Quill Corporation v. North Dakota).

Also, if a manufacturer is shipping from a warehouse in your state, there will be sales tax for that item. This is in accordance with the "Nexus" laws concerning online purchases.

If you have any question about how sales tax is calculated, give us a call 404-752-6715.

Cancellation request must be made and confirmed via email with ACityDiscount as soon as possible. If you call or speak to customer support, please be advised that a cancellation is not confirmed without a confirmation email from ACityDiscount.

There are six major reasons you would not want a commercial range in your home.


  • Most manufacturers of commercial ranges will not honor the warranty of a unit if placed in a residential setting. Less care is taken in regards to packaging commercial equipment, therefore dents dings and minor scratches are not uncommon.

  • Commercial ranges do not have the safety features a residential unit does.

    • No electronic ignition. This means the pilot light is lit all the time. The result is higher gas bills and higher AC bills due to the extra heat.

      Less insulation around the unit. This means you can not have zero clearance. The unit needs 6 inches clearance on the sides and back from combustible surfaces.

      Less insulation around unit. Although adults have the reflexes to move from the unit when touched, children may get burned due to prolonged exposure to the hot front or sides.

  • The higher BTU output of a commercial range in some municipalities requires larger exhaust hoods and may even not be allowed by some fire ordinances.

  • Some Home Owners Insurance Companies will not honor a fire claim if a commercial range is used in the residence.



Now that we have explained all this, if you still want a commercial range in your home, all you have to do is send us an E-mail stating that you understand all the information we have provided for you and you are still wanting the commercial range.

eBay

We request payment within 7 days from the end of the auction.

Automatic reminders from both ACityDiscount and eBay will start at 4 days and will continue until 8 days from the end of the auction.

Any items for which ACityDiscount has not received payment within 8 days from the end of the auction will automatically be cancelled and will be scheduled for another auction.

When we cancel an item, we request eBay refund us the auction's Final Value Fees. EBay will provide us this refund, but they place an internal strike on the buyer's account. Too many strikes in too short a time on an eBay user's account can cause suspension. Please be careful.

If you wish to buy multiple items, you should pay for each item as soon as you can to avoid the item being cancelled. In the check out system on our website, you can choose to calculate shipping charges later and add items to an order. When you are ready for your order to ship, the system will calculate a combined rate when possible, just choose the 'calculate shipping' button on your order page. If you wait until you complete your shopping to pay, you risk the cancellation of some of the items.

Due to the quantity of eBay listings we manage, and because some of the companies we manage auctions for request rapid payment, we are forced to follow this time frame.

ACityDiscount supports the swapping of positive feedback on EBay.Our system will automatically respond with a positive for any posted for us. As soon as you are happy with the transaction, please post a positive feedback for us and you will receive a positive feedback by the following business day.
