Shipping |
Our products ship directly to you from the manufacturer. This saves us money in a number of ways, and we pass those savings on to you in our very competitive pricing. Remember that there is no additional charge for ground shipping on any orders to the continental US, so you won't get any nasty surprises at checkout! Expedited shipping is available for most products at an additional charge that will vary based on shipping destination, please contact us for details. We will send you a shipping confirmation e-mail with tracking information when your order ships. Because each of our vendors uses the shipping carrier that is most cost effective for their product line, our shipping
policies vary from one manufacturer to the next. We have tried to give clear shipping information within the description of each product, please see our Shipping Information
page for more detailed information. |

Returns |
Your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us, without happy customers, we are nothing! Because our products ship directly from the manufacturer, each has a slightly different policy as far as where to return the item, and what information to include. For this reason, we ask that you contact us before returning an item for specific instructions on that return. Contacting us first will assure you a quick and hassle free return. Unless the item is defective or otherwise unsatisfactory, the customer will be responsible for our actual cost to ship it to you, as well as return shipping and any re-stock fee imposed by the manufacturer (this will vary from one manufacturer to the next, but is typically 10 to 20%). If an item is damaged in shipment, please retain the original shipping box, as we will need to file a claim with the shipper, and they will need the box as proof of who is responsible for the damage. We will replace the item or issue a refund (your choice) immediately. Shipping claims are often long, drawn-out processes, and we see no reason for you to be penalized any further for something that is no fault of yours. |
