Customer Service Policy

Ordering Process

Order cut-off time for same-day shipping is 12:00 PM EST (Monday to Friday).

Our preferred method of receiving re-orders is via e-mail. This ensures there is little miscommunication and that all orders are processed swiftly and accurately. We kindly ask that you review the quantity, item description, and shipping address in the sales order provided. Clients assume all responsibility for orders that have been confirmed but contain incorrect information. All special delivery requests must be clearly stated when an order is placed (please read shipping guidelines in detail below).

All re-orders and inquiries should be sent to our Customer Care Team at customercare@captivaco.com

Payment Options

All orders are to be prepaid prior to printing, labeling, production or shipping out. Orders will not be sent to our Production Department or ship out until payment has been successfully processed. We will charge the card we have recorded on file, unless otherwise specified by the client.

This does not apply to clients with payment terms. In order to apply for terms, we utilize a third party (Coface) for credit term approval. Credit is solely provided based on their decision and we do not take part or receive any information during this process. Below are the details:

  • There is a $55 fee to apply (all for Euler Hermes, Captiva doesn't profit from this process).

  • Credit approval is contingent on positive credit and availability of information about transactions. The approver does require a significant credit history to approve. In some cases, they refuse but can be contacted to provide financials or other information they may need to approve. In order to apply please provide the following information: business name, address and required credit amount being requested.

Printing/Labeling Orders

All lead times are estimated for printing, labeling and production. We encourage clients to order with sufficient time in case of delays due to unforeseen circumstances.

Prior to printing the client will receive a PDF virtual proof with the bottle design, once the design is approved by the client the production team will begin printing. No further changes are allowed after this point. The client is responsible for approving the design in its entirety (color, misspelling, bottle type, etc.). Up to three changes in the design of the Virtual Proof are complimentary after that $150.00 would be applied to your order.

For labeled orders, Captiva offers the storage of labels as a complimentary service however we cannot be responsible for any label loss or damage, and our label inventory is a manual process thus quantities are only estimated.

Shipping Guidelines

After your order has been placed, processed and payment approved, your product will ship the same day via common carrier freight or UPS ground or FedEx Ground unless otherwise specified. 

Our warehouse is open for pick-up between 10:00 AM EST and 4:30 PM EST. Pick-up attempts outside of this time-frame will be denied.

Delivery Timing
If you require products to be delivered by a certain date, please call the Customer Service team to verify your product availability. Captiva Containers does not guarantee at any time a certain delivery date or time frame for delivery for any product or order. Any listed time for a shipping method is an estimated time only. For orders with deadlines please order well in advance. 

Unloading Products
Business freight deliveries or freight deliveries without a lift gate are dock to dock, which means the receiving business party is required to remove the product from the truck via a loading dock or with a forklift. Truck drivers are not responsible for removing products off the truck by hand.

Inspecting for Damaged Goods
Please be sure to check all packages for any potential damage during transit. It is the sole responsibility of the receiving party to fully inspect the product at the time of delivery for any potential damage, before signing the Delivery Receipt.

If damage did occur during transit, all damage must be noted on the Bill of Receipt in detail and signed by the driver. A copy of the Bill of Receipt will need to be faxed, emailed or mailed to Captiva Containers for a damage claim to be filed with the trucking company on our customers behalf.

When possible, please photograph the damaged product for evidence that will assist with a product damage claim. The shipping company has the right to inspect and/or claim the product if a damage claim is filed and/or paid by them.

Lift Gate and Inside Delivery Options
Lift gate delivery service is available at an additional cost. Lift gate service is required for all customers that do not have a loading dock or a forklift. If requested and paid for at the time of order, lift gate service will transfer the product from the truck and onto the curb at the delivery site.

Delivery Appointment
For business deliveries with a delivery appointment required, the receiving party listed on the shipping address of the order will be contacted by the trucking company directly to coordinate delivery date and time, as the receiving party is required to meet the truck at the time of delivery to avoid re-delivery charges. 

Additional Charges
All additional charges that are not paid for already or included for free at the time of order, such as inside delivery, change of address, residential delivery, limited access, re-delivery, etc. will be the sole responsibility of the customer unless stated otherwise at the time of order.

·       Liftgate                          $50

·       Appointment                $30

·       Residential (Freight)    $50

·       Inside Delivery              $70
