Inside Deliveries
When a delivery arrives at DMC marked “Inside Delivery,” Dock Services reviews all paperwork/bill of ladings, and helps facilitate final destination delivery of products for each tenant and showroom. Dock Services personnel work with delivery drivers to ensure building access, provide pallet jacks/forklifts, and ensure the carrier delivers products to the proper showroom. This service is provided free of charge for all tenants.
“Inside Delivery” means delivery is to the showroom, not inside the showroom, unless the tenant is present and authorizes access to that showroom. “Inside Delivery” dictates the shipping entity will actually deliver products and merchandise to a respective showroom. This is an arrangement made between the shipper and showroom.
While DMC is not responsible for delivery, accuracy or quality of delivery service when marked “Inside Delivery,” Dock Services does provide necessary equipment to the shipping provider to help facilitate delivery at no charge.

If A Delivery Is Not Marked “Inside Delivery”
When a delivery is not marked “Inside Delivery”, Dock Services calls the showroom to determine delivery to the showroom.
If a tenant authorizes Dock Services to deliver, DMC unloads the trucks and is responsible for accuracy and completeness of the delivery. DMC signs all bill of ladings confirming receipt of the delivery and accounts for the time and labor spent delivering items. Dock Services charges for these services.
