I have a question not on this page.
Did you even look at the rest of this page? ;)

But seriously....use the Contact Us page if you have any other questions!

My payment on my order/statement/PayPal says "awaiting payment","pending", or "hold". What's wrong?
That's normal! We don't capture payment until the order ships. This allows us to do a few things: 1) If you place two orders, we (usually) catch it to avoid charging you two full shipping prices, 2) If you need to cancel, we can do that before processor/PayPal charges fees, 3) If you need to add a few things to your order, we can add those on before charging your PayPal/card (add-on's items must be less than 15% of the total order price or sale is rejected).

It's been 3+ days, where is my order confirmation and tracking information?

Our website automatically sends these emails when you place an order and when we ship. Sometimes you put in the wrong email, it happens. Reach out to me and we'll look into it.

On a few occasions (typically for customers outside the United States), they never get any of our emails.

We've found that sometimes the emails get blocked by a spam filter, so add donotreply@stompboxparts.com to your safe senders list.

My package is delayed/missing, can you help?

While it is rare, sometimes packages go missing or are delayed, especially during the winter holiday season. If you want the best delivery reliability, we highly recommend FedEx or UPS. USPS tends to have the greatest amount of errors. Again, issues are rare, but they do happen.

We will NOT offer refunds or provide any support to track down or resolve any carrier related issues for packages sent by USPS Ground Advantage (USA), USPS First Class International, or USPS Priority (USA or international). We don't have any additional leverage to track down your package other than the tracking number we provided. Please fill out the Missing Mail form on their website. Sometimes this helps get the package moving faster.

Something is missing from my order, what do I do?

It doesn't happen often, but we're only human. If a part is missing, or if we forgot to include screws, mounting hardware, etc., contact us right away. Provide your order number and what's missing, and we'll get back to you ASAP! (Also, if you ordered an enclosure, double check that stuff isn't packed in there)

Do you offer quantity discounts?

We do on some items, but mostly no. You've probably noticed that there is a minimum quantity on most items under $5. Alongside buying in bulk with Cusack Manufacturing we are able to keep prices low. By default we are selling most parts at quantity discounts that typically match other distributor prices at 100-1000 piece orders, and we're only asking you to buy a couple.

We aren't going to lower the price any more as we are confident that our prices are competitive and we want to pass on the savings of quality manufacturing grade parts to DIYers and small to medium companies alike.

When will my order ship?

We are shipping packages Monday to Friday (unless there is a holiday). Most orders will ship within 24 hours, many will frequently ship out the same day. It is a top priority to get packages out the door as promptly as possible. Any listed transit times are estimates from the carrier and StompBoxParts is not liable for delayed delivery.

-Shipped USPS (USA) orders are picked up around 4:45pm. USPS does not deliver on Sunday.
-Shipped FedEx Express (2day, Overnight) orders are picked up around 3:15pm. FedEx Express does not deliver over the weekend.
-Shipped UPS Ground orders are picked up around 4pm. UPS does not deliver over the weekend.

There's no guarantee that orders will ship out over the weekend, but then again....maybe they will....

Some parts are missing defective, I don't like them, missing, or are not the parts that I ordered. What can we do?

If a part is missing, or we forgot to include screws, mounting hardware, etc., contact us right away. Provide your order number and what's missing, and we'll get back to you ASAP! (Also, if you ordered an enclosure, double check that stuff isn't packed in there). NO returns/refunds after 30 days from receipt. Restrictions apply for orders sent outside of the United States.

If you ordered the wrong parts or you don't like them, we're happy to refund you as long as you return them to us. Shipping costs are not refundable. NO returns on clearance items. NO returns/refunds after 30 days from receipt. Restrictions apply for orders sent outside of the United States.

If you've received defective parts, contact us ASAP so we inspect and prevent others from getting bad parts. We try to screen for defects when we receive and when we ship, but things slip through because sometimes it's hard to identify an issue until the product is in use. We'll either refund, replace, or ship them back to us. It's a case by case scenario, so please message us. NO returns/refunds after 30 days from receipt. Restrictions apply for orders sent outside of the United States.

If you received incorrect parts, contact us. We'll get you the correct parts on our dollar. Depending on the circumstance, you may get to keep the wrong parts, but we may have you ship them back, which we will pay the shipping for. NO returns/refunds/corrections after 30 days from receipt. Restrictions apply for orders sent outside of the United States.

I'm looking for a particular part that is not on the website, do you have it?
Maybe. Contact Us!

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RELATED QUESTIONS

Who pays customs duties and taxes?
The buyer is liable to pay all import duties, tariffs, and taxes. We pay to get them to us, you pay to get them to you. I cannot estimate what these are because they are different for every country and different for certain products. We will NOT ship the items as gifts or declare a lower value. It's annoying to pay extra fees, but it's part of buying internationally.
EXCEPTION: For Canada shoppers, USPS shipping methods automatically include prepaid duty/tariff in the shipping price. If there happen to be any additional duties, tariffs, and taxes, those will be at the liability of the buyer to pay.

Can you bill my carrier account?
Sure! There is an option for international customers to choose "bill your carrier account" in the shipping options at checkout. Please provide the carrier and your account # in the order comments.

*Note* If you choose this option because it is free and you don't actually have a carrier account to provide, the order will be canceled. Sorry for the inconvenience but please do not choose this shipping option unless you actually have a shipping account.

What international shipping carrier do you recommend?
The fastest and most reliable carriers we use are FedEX and UPS. They are usually more expensive, but if you're in a hurry and don't want to take the chance of your parts staying in limbo forever or going missing, we highly recommend them.

*We have temporarily disabled USPS International (except Canada) as a shipping option since their errors are only going to increase throughout the holiday season* USPS First Class International is the most affordable and has also been the most unreliable by a high margin. We've seen some USPS First Class orders arrive in a week, other up to 12 weeks. In our experience, they have lost more packages than the rest of the carriers combined. Even though that sounds bad, we guess only 1-2% of USPS packages face delays, and even fewer of those go missing. We will NOT be offering refunds, re-shipments, or intensive package searches on orders shipped with them.

Unfortunately, we can only provided minimal assistance tracking down your package after it leaves our hands. We have the same abilities to track a package as you do, and we don't have any additional leverage with USPS/FedEx/UPS to provide additional info or to expedite. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

What are your international shipment terms? Where does liability transfer?

All international shipments will be sent "ExWorks". Meaning, once we (the seller) package it up and purchase the shipping label, liability transfers to the buyer. If the carrier looses or damages the shipment at any point in between, that is the buyers responsibility. If customs seizes the package and doesn't deliver, if the plane crashes, or anything happens after we put on the shipping label, we cannot cover the loses. By placing your order, you agree to these risks.

These are the same terms we agree to when we purchase our parts, we take the risk of them not being delivered. Therefor, that risk is on the buyer who purchases from us. While it is unlikely that anything will happen and your package will most likely be delivered safe and sound, you (the buyer) agree to these terms by placing an order with us. Fingers crossed we never have to worry about it! That said, if your package goes missing, please let us know. It is good to have data on which shipping carriers we can trust the most to deliver safely and promptly.

Do you ship to the United Kingdom? Germany?

We do not ship to Germany. We do not ship to retail customers in any country of the UK. Sorry about the inconvenience.

EXCEPTION: If you are a business and have 1) a VAT number, 2) a shipping account with an express (FedEx, UPS, DHL) shipper, and 3) place an order over $180 USD, we will ship to the UK.
