New
Parts Returns
Items
returned are subject to a 20% restocking
charge.
Items
that you would like to
return
for refund/exchange
must
be ARRIVE HERE within 20 days of UPS delivering the
part to you.
This gives you 10 days to stare at the part and 10
days to get it back to us. (Or until 30 days from date
on lower left of invoice; whichever is
longer).
Items
must be returned prepaid to us, not COD.
If
you don't insure your item you could lose everything.
If you don't pack your item safely you could lose
everything even with insurance.
Something
from a kit cannot be returned for credit or refund;
the entire kit would have to be returned, unused and
in identical condition to it was when it departed
here.
So
at the passing of the longer of the two above listed
time intervals; it is a done deal; not at 6 weeks or 4
months or two years or whatever.
At
any time we may be interested in buying parts from
you; but it is not based on what you paid for the
item(s) it is based on what we would have to pay now;
and more importantly how many we have NOW. Somethings
are not worth buying if it just means we will have to
scrap it some time down the road... There is a huge
"cost of sitting on it" factor.
Return
copy of invoice with shipment; and note explaining the
return; thanks.
Used
Parts Returns
Large
or Heavy Parts and parts that are cut to order are
considered final sales and are not returnable.
(fenders,
wheels, hoods, frame sections, sheet metal sections,
doors, floors, used glass, top frames etc, )
Electrical items are checked for operational ability
before shipment and are not returnable if you see the
"checked
OK"
or with a check mark. If your previous electrical item
was damaged due to a problem with your car, a new or
used item will suffer the same fate.
With the exception of large items; when you receive a
used part, take a look at it. If within 72 hours you
decide you don't like the looks of it, you can return
it for 85% of the PARTS COST if it was an item we
shipped by UPS. The
delivery and packing costs are not refundable.
Item
would have to be shipped prepaid back to us on the 4th
day.
Return

return; thanks.
No
Matter What the Reason
Our
fault, your fault, someone else's fault,
IF
you use a charge card to place an order we will
only refund a MAXIMUM 96% of the price, even if
you just change an order so amount is reduced.
THIS
INCLUDES AN ORDER
CANCELLATION.
This includes CORE CHARGES. It is YOUR CHOICE
to use a charge card, but not our choice to get
hit by the bank. When you give us $1 with a
charge card, and we subsequently credit your card, we
don't get $1 back from the bank. If we are exchanging
the returned item this wouldn't apply as the same
money could be applied to the "new" part without any
new charges from the charge card companies.
This
includes a situation where you want something sent to
you before you send the other item back (so we
have to initiate another charge). Even if it is a
situation that is OUR fault, we still will only refund
a maximum 96% if you used a charge card. When a 20%
restocking fee applies; this 4% bank charge is
included in that amount.
Returned
Parts must be in the Identical Condition
as
when we shipped them. Not installed, not used in any
way, not dirty, not missing items, not modified, in
some cases not even opened. For example a softop will
not be accepted for return unless it is folded and
packed EXACTLY as it was received to protect the
windows. Once installation has been started in ANY
way, it is not returnable. Other return
restrictions/requirements may be found on or with the
original invoice & paperwork.
Engine
bearings must be UNOPENED
to
be returnable, so check those sizes BEFORE ordering.
It is possible to damage engine bearings with the
slightest mishandling!
Electrical
parts,tools, brake or clutch hydraulic parts, and
Special Orders are not returnable under any
circumstances.
Alternators
don't test fine here and mysteriously go out after
your buddy has tried to hook them up. Have a competent
auto electrician diagnose and repair your car's
problem BEFORE ordering items. A new electrical item
will go bad immediately if the problem that killed
your old item is not fixed. I guess what I'm trying to
say is if you are ordering an electrical item, be sure
you need it and plan to keep it.
We
do not refund delivery and/or packing charges
(which
may be part of listed delivery charges.)
If
you buy something at the mall and for WHATEVER reason
you have to return it you don't call the store to come
get it; and they don't refund for your gas or taxi
fare or WHATEVER.

PARTS
RETURN INFO IN "WARRANTY" SECTION
If
a refund is necessary it is done in the same form as
payment i.e check if you sent us a check, or a credit
against your charge card etc. It would only be done
against the same card that was originally used and/or
mailed to the same name/address as original
purchaser.
With
your vehicle identification number and engine number
we can provide the correct parts to match what your
car came with FROM THE FACTORY. We are not responsible
for guessing how your car has been "modified" and/or
"omelytized" since it left the factory. People looking
to save a buck, or puzzle makers that like to assemble
one car from four, or even well meaning individuals
that couldn't find the correct part can really
"omelyt" a car. After 40 years of dealing with ONLY
these roadsters we have a pretty good idea of what's
what. I would suggest you look at the pictures of the
parts, and read the descriptions if available. If
unsure, we'll post a picture or email back and forth
with you if something doesn't seem right. These cars
are titled as whatever year they were sold and not
necessarily the model year they are. There are also
running changes throughout the year. If you don't
provide the VIN you are asking us to guess what parts
you need. If you want us to guess (i.e. not providing
VIN, any mistakes are YOUR responsibility) The various
info pages in the parts sections will help alleviate
problems. As always, ASK ASK ASK and I'll try to
ANSWER ANSWER ANSWER...
We
don't rent parts. We do however, spend time and money
locating, purchasing, stocking, advertising, insuring,
packing and shipping parts, paying building costs,
taxes and assorted other expenditures. For that reason
we don't like to complete a sale only to have it come
back. We do not hype parts to create sales. No one
here has ever or will ever push you to needlessly buy
something. One of us roadster nuts is available by
email to answer questions and won't hesitate to
suggest you get advice from your machinist,
electrician and/or mechanic if the problem is beyond
our ability to solve. MOST PROBLEMS CANNOT BE
DIAGNOSED FROM A DISTANCE. I would also respectfully
suggest you get local help if you are unsure of what
to order. All this aside, sometimes there are reasons
for a return; so with that in mind...
Return
copy of invoice with shipment; and note explaining the
return; thanks.
