USA
48 STATES DELIVERY TRANSIT TIMES
This
a rough map from UPS showing approximate delivery
times once they have the box. Our local one day
delivery area is shown in
yellow.
These times do not count the day the item is picked up
or any weekend or UPS holidays. It does not count the
time it takes the order to be processed and packed
here; typically 1-10 Working Days (Monday-Friday)
depending on parts problems and order load.
Currently
we only ship via United Parcel Service (UPS) for boxes
up to about 9 cubic feet (15,500 cubic inches). These
boxes we only ship on our own UPS account. Bigger
boxes go by Motor Freight Carriers (YRC
usually).
We
do not currently use AIR shipping or Saturday
delivery. Too tired of apologizing for and taking the
blame for things we have no control
of...
HOW
LONG UNTIL WE SHIP YOUR UPS
BOX?
(4
cubic feet or smaller to the 48
States)
Usually
1-14 days counting weekends. Used parts can EASILY add
2 weeks to an order; the item may be a long distance
away and/or may have to be removed from a car. I will
say that once we get an order; we want the parts out
of here as much as you do!
Most
depart at about 7 days counting weekends. Boxes large
than 4 cubic feet are most of the 7-14 day departures.
If
it is an order where you are sending in a US Postal
Money Order those typically take an additional 3-4
working days to verifiably clear; which is the fastest
of any form of paper. A bank wire transfer can take up
to a week for us to be notified. A Western Union
transfer when available can add about 4 working days
as we don't go up to town every day.
Problems
with verifying your card or your bank releasing
verification information can delay an
order...sometimes A LOT; ESPECIALLY if you do not
provide the card provider's 800 number that is usually
listed on the back of the card. Your issuing
institution may not care if we EVER are able to verify
the card; or have an unyielding, unbypassable phone
tree that never does lead anywhere. We will not spend
much time fighting this situation if there are other
orders to do; we'll just try again later when we are
more relaxed and ready to bang our heads against a
wall.
Delays
will increase if you haven't sent an email to us with
your address as well. This can cause the order to
stall. There are all kinds of reasons we may need to
contact you while processing an order and email is how
we will do it.
If
the order has to be yanked out of sequence to make a
change that can easily back it up 2 days.
If
you want an ACCURATE answer on parts availability and
if departure will be past our normal 7 day window you
will need to email. No way to tell how many orders are
ahead of you or accurate stock levels against the
in-process orders unless we check at night.
Make
sure your email provider and your email program is
letting you view our emails and not dumping them in
spam-junk etc folders or blocking them. We may email
anytime between 8am and midnight Pacific Time. See
Ordering Info on speeding up your order. We don't want
the orders sitting here either!
