Shipping:
What Carriers do you use?
We use the three major US carriers(UPS, FedEx and USPS). Depending where you live some options may not be available.
How much do you charge for shipping?
Our shipping charges are based on actual part weights as well as the part dimensional weight. What this means is if the part weighs 2 lbs. we charge you only for 2 lbs. In some cases a part may be bulky as in outer window scrapers, these may only weigh 2-3 lbs. but the carrier charges for this item by its dimensions or "dimensional weight" (Example an outer window scraper that measures 34" x 16" x 2" has a physical weight of 3 lbs. but because of its physical size it would now weigh 7 lbs. dimensional weight). How we handle free shipping. Certain parts that are over weight or oversized cannot be included in free shipping orders and will be charged a surcharge based on the dimensional weight. Free shipping rates are for the 48 continental United States. Areas outside the 48 states, shipping will be calculated using the best shipping price available. We reserve the right to use any shipping carrier unless the order has had a upgrade. If any sales or price matching discount drops you below the free shipping amount, shipping will be charged.
Import Duties, Taxes on International Shipments
Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. Your order may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country; we have no control over such charges and cannot determine what they may be. Customs policies vary from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information regarding any taxes or duties for which you would be liable.
How long does it take to ship an order?
We try to ship most orders within 24-72 hours during normal business hours (Monday - Friday) however this depends on the order volume for that day. Orders with expedited shipping options placed during normal business hours (Monday - Friday) excluding holidays usually ship within 24 hours. Please allow an additional 48 hours for orders placed on weekends or holidays. When counting the number of days we do not include the day the order was placed.
