Shipping Policy
How and when your order ships, which carriers we use, and what happens if a package is delayed, refused or returned.
Shipping
- All orders ship via United Parcel Service (UPS), FedEx, DHL, or USPS. Orders that qualify for free Standard Ground shipping are sent via UPS or FedEx.
- Flat Rate Shipping is through USPS. If you do not receive USPS at your shipping address, please choose UPS at checkout rather than Flat Rate Shipping.
- For International Orders, we do not collect duties or taxes; the customer is responsible for paying these to the shipping company.
- Orders placed by 2:00 PM CST on weekdays are generally shipped the same day; in some circumstances there may be a delay of 1–3 business days. Orders placed on weekends are processed and shipped on Mondays. Subject to product availability.
- Weekends and Federal Holidays are not shipping days.
- Select orders cannot ship to P.O. Boxes; larger, heavier items need to be shipped by UPS or FedEx, and a non-P.O. Box address will need to be provided.
- Same-day dispatchThe only guaranteed same-day dispatch is UPS Next Day or UPS 2nd Day, and would have to meet the shipping cutoff time and stock availability.
- Delivery timesOnce a package leaves us, delivery dates are set by the carrier and are not guaranteed by V-Belt Guys. This includes any Next Day Air, Second Day Air, Third Day Air or Ground service. USPS Priority Mail does not guarantee 2-day delivery. There are no refunds on any shipping charges.
- Expedited shipments such as any Next Day Air or Second Day Air orders need to be placed by 2:00 PM CST to ship out the same day. Subject to product availability.
- Once an order has tracking tagged to it, no changes can be made — this includes the shipping address, quantity, part number and anything else on the order.
- Once an order is placed in “In-transit” status, we no longer hold responsibility for that order, and you must contact the shipping company directly for any lost or stolen packages. We are not obligated to replace or refund a lost or stolen package.
Returned to sender — undeliverable
The carrier attempted delivery but could not complete it — insufficient address, incorrect address, or unable to forward. The package comes back to us without the customer declining it.
- Reship the package for the reship fee of $6.99 for Flat Rate Shipping. The shipping address will need to be verified and updated before the reship.
- May receive a refund on the product ordered. A refund will not be issued on the shipping.
Refused shipments
The recipient declined the delivery and the carrier returned the package to us.
- Refused shipments will be refunded for products only, with a deduction of a $12.00 refusal fee plus the shipping charges back to the original location.
