Shipment & Return Policies
Packages are generally dispatched within 2 days after receipt of payment and are shipped via USPS, UPS and LTL with tracking and drop-off without signature. If you prefer delivery with a signature an extra charge will apply.
Short Ordered Items
In most cases we will have your ordered item in stock. Should there come an instance when an item is out of stock for any reason on our end we place your ordered item on back order and immediately order the item from the manufacturer this process may add a few days to the delivery of your ordered item. If the manufacturer has no stock themselves of a certain item ordered the amount paid to us by you will be refunded in full within 24 hours of our knowledge of such an instance.
Shipping Fee's
Shipping fees include handling and packing fees as well as postage costs. Handling fees are fixed, whereas transport fees vary according to total weight of the shipment. We advise you to group your items in one order as it is usually less expensive to ship multiple items in one box. We cannot group two distinct orders placed separately, and shipping fees will apply to each of them. We ship with UPS, USPS, LTL and In store pick up. Large, heavy and multiple items can usually be shipped at a less expensive rate using LTL ( less than truck load), when these situations occur we will contact you to make arrangements, also if at check out you see that you are faced with extreme shipping charges feel free to contact us so we can try another option.
RMA (Return Material Request)
Most items found to be defective in it's manufacturing can be returned to us directly. However, there are some items that must be returned directly to the manufacturer for warranty, a list of these manufacturers can be found below.
