Shipping Cost: We use UPS cost as a base to calculate the cost of shipping for your order(s).
Please contact your Customer Support Representative for further details.

Cost of Shipping - Next Day or 2nd Day:
All major carriers, such as UPS or FedEx determine cost of shipping for Next Day or Second Day deliveries based on volumetric weight. Such calculations are not always straightforward, especially in case of heavy or oversized product, and may result in surcharges not accounted for in shipping cost calculated automatically. Therefore, we reserve the right of reviewing each shipping charge. In case of the real cost being at least 10 percent higher, than one calculated automatically, we will notify clients of additional charges.

Shipments to Canada
Shipments to Canada are usually sent via USPS EMS Global Express service provided by US Postal Service. We chose this service, as it provides speedy delivery (3 to 5 days), and economic cost. We can secure overnight shipments via UPS or FedEx, but due to high and variable cost, we will do it based on your particular request placed with us either by phone or email. Shippers may request additional custom's clearance fee from receiving party.

International Shipments
See International section for detailed information.

Tracking
Customers who provide a valid email address when placing an order will automatically receive an email from the carrier containing a tracking number and a link to the carrier's web site to retrieve tracking info when your order is scanned into their system from our dock. This email will be sent to the return email address provided when the order is placed. Upon request (in the "Special Instructions" field of the checkout page) this email can be sent to two email addresses.
On orders that ship directly from the manufacturer's warehouse, the carrier will not send a tracking email by default. If for any reason you do not receive a tracking email from the carrier, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to provide tracking information.

Possible Delays in Shipping:
There are different reasons why we may experience delays in the shipping of customer orders:

1. Orders are coming from different channels, and the inventory in our database is updated every 15 minutes.  Therefore, there might be a chance of a product being over-ordered.
2. Some less popular products are drop shipped directly from manufacturers, and they may experience part shortages due to a global fulfillment system.
3. We notice a product in stock does not include all parts.

We ask all of our clients for understanding, especially during these Covid-19 times.
