Online Store Shipping and Payments Policy

Handling Times:

All items that show the amount of product in stock (ie: “15 in stock”) are shipped/in stock at either our Burton or Grand Blanc, MI location. Important note: Some items are only stocked at our Grand Blanc Fulfillment center. If you plan to come into the store to purchase a product, please call to ensure we have it available at our Burton, MI sales location before driving to the store. Most orders placed before 12 noon Eastern US Time are shipped out the same day. Some large orders may be shipped out the next day, depending on the number of orders we are currently processing. Some items, like the Hardy Rib Snow Rail, may have additional lead times. Those additional lead times will be stated on the individual products page.

Allocation Limits on Items:

Due to the lead times and allocation limits some of our items are experiencing, we have put in place our own allocation amounts on these items. These items when selected will only allow so many of a certain product to be added to the cart per order. Additionally, the allocation amount is per customer/ship-to address/bill to address per month. We reserve the right to cancel or alter any order, not within allocation compliance. We are sorry for any inconvenience this will cause.

Backordered Items:

Small Items– Some small items may become back-ordered. If the item is eligible for back order you will be notified prior to purchasing. Items that are back-ordered typically take an additional 2-10 days to ship from the factory/supplier. If this time frame increases we will notify you as soon as possible.

Drop Shipped Items:

Some items we offer are drop shipped directly from the brands we distribute for. If the item is drop shipped then it will state that on the items page in some form (ie: Special order or Drop Shipped Item). These items are also non-returnable as they are special order and are not stocked by our company. Items that are drop shipped typically take 1-10 days to ship from the factory/supplier. In most cases, it is within 5 days. If the supplier notifies us that this time frame will be past 10+ days we will notify you as soon as possible and ask how you would like us to proceed with your order. (Options may include waiting for it to process or canceling for a full refund.) Drop-shipped orders may also only be shipped by ground transport. If you select a faster shipping method at checkout and the supplier is not able to send them using the faster method you will be refunded the difference in shipping costs.

Shipping Method:

For the 48 contiguous states, we ship our products through USPS, UPS, FedEx or LTL Freight. This depends on the weight and size of your order.

In some cases when an order weighs over 150 pounds, we may call to inform you that we need to ship your items LTL freight. This would be at no additional cost to you.

Some items are for Ground shipping only. These items will clearly state they are for Ground shipping only.

Shipping Rates:

Shipping rates from USPS or UPS are calculated directly from the shipping company using our account rates. This ensures we can offer the lowest shipping cost to you.

All free or flat rate shipping options are for the 48 contiguous United States. Shipments going to Alaska, Hawaii, or Internationally will be priced based on our USPS or UPS account rates.

If we discover our online shipping calculator has significantly overcharged you due to a calculation error, we will issue a return for the overcharged amount.

Returned Packages:

This is regarding all packages returned to us due to insufficient addresses, the wrong address provided by the buyer, multiple delivery attempts for packages requiring a signature, or if an item was available for pickup at your local post office and was then sent back to us due to it not being picked up within the time frame given by the post office.

 Any packages that fall within the issues above will have the order refunded and the original shipping cost that was paid will be withheld from the refund amount. 

If you are unable to accept USPS packages or USPS does not service your location, you will need to select the appropriate UPS shipping option at checkout, as flat or free shipping options will be sent via USPS in most cases. 

Signature Confirmation:

Any shipment valued at $250 or above may be subject to signature confirmation upon delivery.
