A few things outside our hands
Carrier, delivery & international details- Once we hand your package to the carrier, transit and delivery are the carrier's responsibility.
- Delivery instructions need to go directly to the carrier — instructions sent to us cannot be honored.
- A signature is required on all equipment and large supply deliveries.
- We cannot modify an order once it has been prepared for shipment, so reach out as early as possible.
- We are not able to refund shipping for delays caused by weather, holidays, customs, or carrier issues — but we will always help you track and follow up.
- International: select equipment can ship internationally with additional charges paid by the customer. International orders are not eligible for returns, exchanges, or warranty service.
