Shipping & Returns

Shipping: We ship to the US only.

We will do our best to ship your order same day if the order is placed before 12pm C.S.T. Otherwise the order will ship next business day. We ship Mon – Fridays. Special order and/or Custom orders generally take 4-6 business days. In the event of a delay, you will be notified immediately via phone or email.

Expedited orders placed by 10:00 A.M. CST M-F will ship the same day. Expedited orders placed after 10:00 A.M. CST will ship the following business day.

If you need your order delivered by a certain date, please select 3rd, 2nd or Next Day air. We cannot guarantee delivery dates for shipments that are sent via Free Shipping or Ground. While Free shipping usually means Ground, for heavy or large items we reserve the right to drop ship from the factory in order to reduce shipping costs to us. We do this so that you can get great value in shipping (Free!). If you'd like us to ship out of our stock, please select and pay for a guaranteed delivery method.

Most of the orders will ship from our Distribution Center in Chicago, IL. We have the capability to ship from the manufacture as well. We will determine where your order is shipped from depending on where the order is going. We want the customer to receive the order in the timeliest manner. If your order is going to California and there is a warehouse in California, we will ship from there instead of IL.

If the order ships from our Distribution Center, West Coast is roughly 5 business days UPS Ground and East Coast is 3-4 business days.

We ship using UPS to all US addresses except Alaska and Hawaii. UPS affords both our customers and us tracking and insurance on your order. Please provide a full street address for shipping. UPS will NOT ship to PO Boxes.

Due to shipping constraints - We cannot ship to PO Boxes or APO addresses.

There are a number of reasons we do not ship outside the United States. The main reasons being credit card security and import-export regulations. While we understand your frustration finding a wide variety of tools, parts and accessories at reasonable prices, we do not feel that the massive amount of extra manpower is justified at this time.

To determine shipping, simply add the item(s) you would like to your cart, and enter your shipping zip code in the space provided. Once you submit your zip code, the website will pull up shipping costs automatically for any items in your shopping cart.
