Shipping Policy - HPS Performance Products

SHIPPING 

Items that are in stock in our warehouse usually ship within 1-2 business days. Orders must be placed, payment verified, and security cleared by 12:00 PM PST. Merchandise is shipped complete, properly packaged, and insured via the service you select. Occasionally an item is oversold. If this is the case, we will fill the orders on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Items that are out of stock usually ship within the time quoted at checkout. Payment will be secured in full as a 100% deposit and the item(s) will be arranged for production. As each item becomes available, it will ship properly packaged and insured via the service you select. We will notify you in the event of a backorder. Backorders are left on the order until they ship.  

BACKORDERS

We continually seek updates on all back-ordered items and regularly update your order status until the backorder is filled. Rest assured that backorders do not get lost or forgotten about. If immediate availability is a concern, please call and we will stock-check the item in our warehouse.

HOW TO INSPECT ITEMS UPON RECEIPT

Please follow these guidelines when you receive your item:

• Before opening the package, check for accuracy by matching the part number on the box with the part number on the invoice or packing slip. If it matches please proceed, otherwise call us immediately.
• In the event the product needs to be returned, you will need the box in good shape to avoid rebox fees. Carefully open the box taking care not to damage the parts or the packaging and keep the box.
• Inspect the parts for apparent damage and missing items. If no apparent damage and missing items are found please proceed, otherwise call us immediately.
• Mockup or layout the assembly of the item on a clean soft surface to avoid damage to the parts. Make sure the parts received are what you actually want before proceeding to install. Once the installation is attempted, the parts are no longer unused, uninstalled, and in resellable condition.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A TROUBLE-FREE EXPERIENCE

• Do not take your vehicle apart, or commit to a time to install a part before the part arrives and has been inspected.
• Carefully read all instructions and make sure all necessary tools are available. We recommend novice installers (do-it-yourselfers) have a qualified and experienced professional at hand to ensure a successful installation. Assess your abilities and only proceed if you are capable of completing the install. If not, give the job to a professional.
• HPS Performance Products is NOT for any labor or fees associated with the installation of the product.

RETURNING AN ITEM FOR REFUND OR EXCHANGE

All sales are considered final upon shipment from either the supplier or HPS Performance Products. Return requests are subject to HPS Performance Products' authorization.

RESTOCKING FEE

Upon the approval of the return authorization from HPS Performance Products, there would be a restocking fee of 10% of the item price.

• In the case of our error, please call our Customer Service department within 14 days of receiving the item to generate a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number for exchange. Upon inspection, items found to be unused, uninstalled, in resalable condition, and in original undamaged packaging will be credited less any applicable restocking or reboxing fee. Items found to be correct per the application, used, installed, not resalable, or with missing or damaged original product packaging will not be credited and the item will be returned to the customer, if requested, at the customer's expense. We do not accept RMA requests through email, fax, or voicemail message.
• Items that fail or are damaged due to customer abuse, negligence, or improper installation techniques are not returnable under any circumstances, so please take care of the parts while they are in your possession.
• Except in the case of our error, the customer is responsible for all freight charges incurred with the return or exchange. This includes the original freight cost to the customer.
• RMA numbers expire 14 days after they are issued. Items returned without an RMA number or using an expired RMA number will be refused.
• Unless otherwise instructed, ship returns to HPS, 5367 Ayon Ave, Irwindale, CA 91706. All Returns must have the RMA number issued clearly displayed on the return shipping label. Do not write the RMA number on the original product package and take care to properly prepare the package for shipping. Failure to do so may result in assessing the customer an additional 20% repacking fee for original product package damage.
• It is the customer's responsibility to insure the package and retrieve a tracking number with a signature requirement from the carrier to protect from loss. Damaged, lost, or missing claims must be made with the carrier.
