How long after placing my order
will my package ship?
Most in-stock items ship within 24 hours of order
processing. To be more specific, orders placed before 12:00 noon EST M-F are
processed the same day that the order is placed. Those orders are sent to the
shipping warehouse the same day (Monday through Friday) and most are shipped
within 24 hours of processing. Orders received after 12:00 noon EST will be
processed before 8:00 am the following business day (excluding weekends). StandsandMounts.com
will make every effort to meet shipping deadlines. Occasionally orders may be
delayed by unforeseen circumstances or difficulties. Due to extensive inventories
and availability, many items drop-ship to our customers directly from affiliate
warehouses. In some cases shipment of those orders may be delayed. If
you have not yet placed your order, and would like to ask for stock status or
delivery information on a specific item, we will be happy to supply you with
that information. Please send an email to sales@standsandmounts.com
with the name of the item and your zip code. Generally it takes approximately
one business week, give or take a day, for an order to be processed and delivered .
If a package is shipping to an address near the stocked warehouse, delivery
will take less time. Likewise if the shipping address is not located near a
warehouse, delivery time will take a little longer. Expedited shipping options
are available at the checkout.
How long after my order ships will it be
delivered to me?
Once your package has shipped, it should be to
you in 3-5 days, but can be delivered in 1 or 2 days. If you require fast delivery,
Next Day and 2 Day Air delivery is available at the checkout. We use numerous
warehouses throughout the United States and we will make every effort to have
the item you ordered shipped from the warehouse that is closest to you. If
you have not yet placed your order, and would like to ask for stock status or
delivery information on a specific item, we will be happy to supply you with
that information. Please send an email to sales@standsandmounts.com
with the name of the item and your zip code. Generally it takes approximately
one business week, give or take a day, for an order to be processed and delivered.
If a package is shipping to an address near the stocked warehouse, delivery
will take less time. Likewise if the shipping address is not located near a
warehouse, delivery time will take a little longer. Expedited shipping options
are available at the checkout.A few of our very heavy or extremely fragile
items ship by freight truck to guard against damage. Shipments made via freight
truck sometimes take a little longer to arrive because the carrier will need
to contact you by telephone to schedule delivery. If you receive a shipment
tracking number that is not UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS or Airborne, your order has
shipped via Freight Truck. To speed up delivery you may call the freight carrier
to set up the delivery date and time. See "How do I use my tracking number?"
below. Please note that our warehouses do not ship nor do our carriers deliver
on Saturdays, Sundays or major holidays. Also, extended shipping time in
transit should be expected during the holiday season and during adverse weather
conditons. StandsandMounts will not be responsible for delivery delays due
to weather conditions or other delivery problems outside of our control. Once
orders have shipped, the shipment tracking number is sent via email. It is the
customer's responsibility to track the delivery. Please let us know if delivery
problems arise. We are here to help you with any problems, concerns or questions
you may have. You can reach Customer Service 24 hours a day. Click

Do I need to be at home for delivery?
Usually you do not need to be at home for delivery. UPS, Fed Ex and Airborne
will usually leave packages at your home without needing a signature. If you
live in a "high risk" neighborhood (one in which a previous delivery was stolen),
UPS and Fed Ex will leave a note on your door telling you that they came by
and instructing you on what is needed for them to complete the delivery. If
you order a heavy item that is delivered by freight truck, someone will need
to accept delivery. The freight company will call you once your order reaches
your local hub to set up an agreeable delivery date and time. In all cases of
delivery, if you are home when the package is delivered, it is a good idea to
inspect the box for any outside indications that the contents may be damaged.
You do not however need to keep the delivery person there while you inspect
the contents of the box for damages if the outside of the box indicates the
product was delivered without rough handling. If you tell us that the product
was found to be damaged or defective upon opening the box, we will believe you
whether or not the damage was noted when delivered. (See What if my order
arrives and has been damaged while in transit to me? below.)
Will the
delivery person bring my package inside?
UPS, FedEx and Airborne will leave the package
outside your door. They do not bring packages inside. 95% of our shipments are
made with these 3 carriers. All of the other freight carriers will bring your
package to you but will not bring it inside your home or business. The "free
delivery" that we pay for is called "Tail Gate Delivery" which means that the
driver will bring the item to your address, but will not bring it inside. It
will be up to you to remove the item from the truck and bring it inside. Delivery
drivers will unload heavy packages with a lift gate and they will bring the
packages inside for an additional fee, but these upgraded delivery charges
will need to be paid for by you. If you know that you will have trouble getting
a heavy package into your home (if you're going to an upper floor or don't have
muscle power available), please let us know before the item ships. You can add
a request for inside delivery in the "comments" box at the checkout. If we add
"Inside Delivery" to your order it will be much less expensive than paying the
driver directly. Since we have an account with each carrier, their charge to
us is much more wallet friendly than their charge to you. Generally they will
charge you $150, but will charge us only $100.
How can I get my order delivered more quickly?
If you'd like to expedite delivery of your order, just choose expedited shipping
at the check-out. If you choose expedited shipping, you are not giving up the
amount of money that would have been saved if you had chosen the "Free Shipping"
option. The amount of money that it would have cost to ship the item via UPS
Ground is deducted from the total amount it costs for expedited shipping. This
is the amount that you see at the check-out when given the choice of shipping
method. Large items that ship via freight carrier are not given the expedited
shipping option at the check-out because freight carriers do not offer expedited
shipping. Also, 2 Day Delivery means that the item will be delivered to you
2 days after it has shipped, not 2 days after you placed the order. Likewise,
Next Day Delivery means that the item will be delivered the day after it has
shipped.
How will I know when my order has shipped?
Once your item has shipped, you will be sent an
email that will contain the name of the shipment carrier and your shipment tracking
number. You can also get your shipment tracking number by logging into StandsandMounts.com
with the login and password that was created by you at the checkout. After checking
out, your login information will be emailed to you with a link back to our site
to make it easy for you to check the status of your order or to send us a note
with us any questions or concerns.
How do I use my tracking number to check
on delivery of my package?
You can use the tracking number that was emailed
to you upon shipment of your order at the applicable carrier's website to get
current location and delivery information on your package. A list of the carriers
that we frequently use and their website addresses are below. In the event that
a carrier does not offer online tracking, their phone number is listed below.
Often the carriers without online tracking tools are very close to your shipping
address and will contact you by phone to set up next day delivery. **
If you make delivery appointment with a freight carrier, and you are not available
for delivery, additional charges will occur. The freight carrier will store
the item until delivery can be rescheduled, but they will charge us a hefty
storage fee, and that charge will be passed on to you. Storage fees can run
between $60 - $150 per day. For this reason it is very important that you make
a delivery appointment that you can commit to.

How can I check the status of my order?
If you have purchased a "Special Order" item or
if an item suddenly becomes unavailable, the details of the expected delivery
date will be communicated to you via email or from within your online account.
To view your account, simply log in at our site using the login and password
that you created when you checked out. There are several "status" indicators.
Please contact Customer Service if you have
any questions or concerns.
What do "Order Received" and "In Progress"
mean?
A status of "Order Received" means that we have
received your order but it has not yet been sent to the warehouse for shipping.
Generally all orders are sent to the warehouse within 24 hours with the exception
of orders received after 12:00 noon EST on Friday. Orders received Friday evening
to early Monday morning are sent to the warehouse on Monday morning. Many will
ship the same day. Most will ship within 24 hours. If your order shows a status
of "Order Received" for more than 24 hours (not including weekends) there is
a problem with your order. Please contact Customer
Service or call 1-800-807-1477.A status of "In Progress" means that
your order has been sent to the warehouse for shipping, and we await the shipment
tracking information. As soon as it comes to us it is entered into your account
and is automatically sent to you via email. You can also log in to your account
to receive an updated status on your order. In stock items ship within 24 hours,
though occasionally the tracking information is delayed and will be entered
24-48 hours after shipment. If you do not get a tracking number 3-4 days after
placing your order, please contact Customer
Service.
What if my order arrives and has been damaged
while in transit to me?
If an item is delivered to you in unacceptable
condition, do not reject delivery, but do make sure the damage is noted by the
delivery driver. Let us know immediately of the damage by filling
out the Damage Notice Form. Notice of damage
must be given to StandsandMounts within 48 hours of delivery as shipment carriers
have time limits and restrictions in place for filing claims. If you do not
notify us of damage within 48 hours of receiving your item, and we are not able
to file a claim against the carrier for damage, you will not be refunded and
a whole new item will not ship to you. As indicated above, we will do our very
best to supply you with new replacement parts. Photos of both the outer packaging
and actual damage itself may be required.Please send notice of damage
to Customer Service. We will respond with
a remedy to the problem within hours. In many cases the problem is more easily
remedied with the expedient shipment of new parts. If the item has suffered
significant damage, and we are notified within 48 hours of the damage, we will
file a damage claim against the carrier and we'll ship a new item right away.
You will not be charged for a new replacement part or a new item and it is not
your responsibility to file a damage claim against the carrier. Please keep
the damaged item and the original packaging until the carrier has contacted
you, has picked the item up or has inspected the item and released it to you
to do with as you wish. In most cases the carrier will just ask you to discard
the damaged item. Freight damage is not frequently an issue with our shipments.
This information is included here in the rare case that you are not totally
satisfied with the condition of your delivery. Please note that damage to an
item will be remedied promptly with a shipment of a new part(s) or an entire
item. If a shipment carrier damages your item in transit, and you do not want
to accept a new replacement part to make the item whole and good, the order
can be canceled, however, return of your order will be treated as a non-defective
return. In this case, you will need to request an RMA number from Customer
Service . Please note that non-defective returns are refunded at the purchase
price minus original shipping costs and a 20% restocking fee.
What if I don't like the product and want
to return it? Will the return shipping be Free?
If you decide that you want to return a non-defective
item for any reason the return shipping charge will not be free. The refund
on a non-defective return is the total cost of the purchase minus a 20% restocking
fee and the "real shipping charges" for delivery to you. The "real shipping
charges" equal our real cost to ship the item to you. For this reason it is
best to be certain that the item that you choose to purchase is something that
you are sure that you want. We certainly don't want you to be disappointed in
your purchase from us and, if you like, we will help you choose the item that
will best fill your needs or desires. If you need any help or have any product
questions at all, please send our sales staff an email at sales@standsandmounts.com
or give us a call at 1-800-807-1477. We are happy to help. If you want to request
return instructions, please request a RMA for
Return.
Will you ship to an address that is not my home
address?
Yes, we certainly will. However, if there is any indication that a credit card
is being used without consent of the cardholder, we will verify with the cardholder
that the purchase is authorized before shipment. If an order is held for this
reason, there will be a note inside of your account indicating that there is
a problem verifying the order.
Do you ship outside of the continental
United States?
Yes, we do ship outside the continental US to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico
on select products but there is an additional charge for shipping. Orders for
shipments to these areas can be processed at the checkout but Expedited Shipping
must be selected. Selecting Expedited Shipping for orders to Alaska, Hawaii
and Puerto Rico covers the additional shipping cost but does NOT increase the
level of service. We now offer shipping to Canada on select products and can
also ship internationally but orders for international shipments must be made
by calling the Sales Line at 1-919-552-8102 for your shipping quote. We do not
accept International Credit Cards. Please note we cannot ship to P.O. Boxes
or Military APOs.
