Holding Fee
We understand that project timelines can change, and we are happy to work with you on a short-term storage solution. Due to space constraints, the likelihood of damage, and the potential impact on product warranty, we will allow this as a one-time exception to change your firm date. ADU requires notification of any project timeline delays. We will gladly hold the appliances for your order for 30 business days from the firm date you provided. For inventory storage beyond 30 business days, a monthly holding fee of $75 will be assessed. If, after 90 days, you are unable to accept delivery of the appliances, the product will be reassigned to our general inventory and could potentially be reallocated to another order. Be advised that this would require ADU to reorder the appliances at the current manufacturer’s pricing, and any price increases that have been incurred will be the responsibility of the client.
