How Delivery Works, Step by Step
-
Order placed
You get a confirmation email within minutes. We review the order and prepare it for the manufacturer.
-
Sent to the manufacturer
Within 2 business days your order is placed with the brand's warehouse.
-
Packed and picked up
The manufacturer packs your order and hands it to the carrier. We email tracking within 1 business day.

Delivered
Parcels are left at your door. Freight carriers call to book a window and need an adult to inspect and sign.
Delivery day checklist
What to do when your order arrives
Parcel orders (UPS, FedEx, USPS)
- Check the outside of the box for crushing, holes or water marks.
- Open and inspect within 48 hours of delivery.
- Anything damaged, missing or wrong? Photograph the item, the box and the packing, then email us.
- Keep all packaging until we tell you the claim is closed.
Freight orders (large systems on a pallet)
- Inspect every side of the pallet before the driver leaves.
- Write any damage on the delivery receipt before signing. This one step protects your claim.
- Take photos from several angles before moving anything.
- Don't refuse delivery unless the product is destroyed. A damaged box rarely means a damaged system.

"Ask" means checkout does not offer that destination for this brand; send the shipping quote form or call us and we reply by email with the delivered price. Nothing is charged until you accept. Every order needs a street address: no PO boxes and no APO, FPO or DPO addresses. Shipping cost is calculated at checkout by brand, weight and order value, with no handling fee. Crystal Quest parcel orders over $150 ship free to the contiguous US; under $150 the rate depends on weight and destination, starts at $7.95 and is shown at checkout. Most large systems ship by freight at the rate shown at checkout.
Frequently Asked Questions
From the manufacturer's own warehouse: Brondell from Illinois, Crystal Quest from Kennesaw, Georgia, The Water Machine from Houston, Texas, Waterdrop from its nearest US warehouse, and WaterWorld USA from Missouri City, Texas.
Within 1 business day of the shipment leaving the manufacturer. Haven't received tracking? Contact us and we'll check on it.
It depends on the brand. Waterdrop and The Water Machine ship free to Alaska and Hawaii. Crystal Quest and WaterWorld USA items are offered to the contiguous US at checkout; for Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico, send the shipping quote form or call us and we reply with the delivered price. Brondell ships to the contiguous US only. No brand ships to Puerto Rico at checkout.
No. Every order needs a street address, and APO, FPO and DPO addresses are not available for any brand.
Each brand ships from its own warehouse, so an order with two brands arrives as two shipments with two tracking numbers, usually on different days.
Photograph the box before opening, then the item and the packing. Email us within 48 hours of delivery with your order number. Keep everything until we close the claim. We file the claim with the manufacturer and arrange a replacement, repair or refund.
Report it within 48 hours of delivery with photos. Carrier claim windows start at delivery, so a later report can be refused.
Address changes are free until the manufacturer ships, so contact us the same day. After shipment, carrier re-routing fees are charged at cost.
Large systems ship by freight carrier. Most show their freight cost at checkout. Quote-only systems have a quote form on the product page instead of a buy button: send it and we reply by email with the delivered price, and nothing is charged until you accept. Delivery is curbside by appointment, and an adult must inspect and sign.
