Other Information

Cutoff Time for Same Day Shipping of In-Stock Items
Generally orders placed before 1pm Central Time, for in-stock items, will ship the same day.


Replacement Parts
If you are ordering replacement parts to repair your piece of equipment on your own, please be sure you are ordering the correct part for your model. A lot of drawings look the same, but there are slight differences. We are not responsible for the wrong parts being ordered. We offer the drawings online for reference, so please be sure and order at your own risk.


Shipping
UPS currently uses a sliding price scale to calculate shipping charges.  The actual cost depends on the package's weight and on how far away the destination is from the origin.  To help estimate your shipping charges, you can use our Approximate Shipping Cost Calculator if you know the size & weight of the package.  Otherwise, add the items to your shopping cart, then go to the "View Cart" page, and click on the link "Estimate Shipping Charges for Shopping Cart".  We insure all packages, unless you specifically request in writing to do otherwise.  If you have a UPS account number and would like the charges billed directly to that account, please include that information in the "Order Notes" field during your checkout process; our $5 handling fee will still apply to the order. 


Drop Shipping
Drop shipments directly from the manufacturer are available for 1-day or 2-day delivery only (please note that some manufacturer's require 24-72 hours for processing before orders are shipped; therefore we can not guarantee day definite delivery on drop shipped orders); a $15 service charge plus any additional freight charges will apply; we do not provide estimated drop ship charges before orders are placed.


Receiving Your Order  / Missing or Damage Contents
Upon receipt of your order, please inspect the contents carefully.  All claims for damaged or missing items must be reported to us within 2 business days of receipt.  If the package arrives obviously damaged, refuse the shipment.  If damage is noticed after unpacking, it is the responsibility of the customer to contact the carrier (UPS 1-800-742-5877 or http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/service/claims/index.html ) and arrange for a convenient time for the carrier's representative to inspect the package (inspections usually occur within 72 hours of the initial damage claim).  When contacting the carrier to report damage, be sure to have your package's tracking number, packing list or invoice, a description of the contents including model numbers and/or serial numbers and replacement cost of the damaged items.  After the damage has been inspected and we receive a Damage/Loss Notification Letter from the carrier, you can return the items for repair/replacement.  It is imperative that the customer save all cartons and packaging materials until the problem has been resolved and reimbursement has been made.  To assure proper refund, repair or replacement, these guidelines must be followed.


Shipping Address Corrections
When supplying your shipping information to us, please insure the information is accurate and correct.  There will be a $15 per package service charge for incorrect delivery information.
