Help Us Help You:
Our goal is to provide the highest quality products at the lowest possible cost together with the most exceptional customer service. For us to fulfill our promise, it is essential that we each do our part. Order early if possible: most problems arise on last minute, rush orders. Ensure you fully understand all of the features engineered into our products and whether they will meet your needs. Understand that some of our products are made to order and cannot be returned.
Most importantly you determine how our products are used. Be aware, and always wear work gloves when using our products. Never use Georgia Expo products where use or tip over may cause injury or property damage. When using our Telescoping Uprights never adjust the height of the upright without first removing the drape support. Full descriptions of all of our products and online videos are available at georgiaexpo.com.

Shipping Terms:
Please order EARLY; shipping delays can occasionally occur through no fault of Georgia Expo due to inclement weather, carrier delays, and other unforeseen problems.

In the event, an expedited shipment is delayed our maximum liability to you shall not exceed the value of the shipping charges paid by you. If your order is delayed and you choose to refuse your shipment or to return your order, it will be treated as a return under the terms stated below. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, Purchaser agrees that all shipments are FOB Shipping Point (Ex Works for orders shipped outside the United States of America)
