B-165 Steel Channel Mirror

Stainless Steel Channel-Frame Mirror

Ordering Mirrors

Size - smaller mirrors can ship via UPS, but they won't take larger mirrors.  Those must ship via motor freight adding a large amount to the overall cost.  In general, UPS will take up to 18 x 30 size, but it varies by model number.

Breakage - it is common for mirrors to break during shipping regardless of how they are shipped.

It is critical that you inspect for breakage when mirrors are delivered.

If you sign for a mirror only to discover later it is broken, then you own it.  We cannot file a claim against the shipping company if you signed for it.

It is easy to check for a damaged mirror.  Just hold up the box and shake it a little.  If you hear broken glass, then note the damage on the shipping ticket.  The driver will take it back.  This is the only way we can make the shipping company pay for the damage.
