Shipping Fees and Policies
Shipping fees are calculated based on multiple criteria, such as weight, size, destination and shipping method. To calculate your shipping fees, please add your items into your shopping cart, then fill in your country, state/province and postal code in the "Estimate Shipping Costs" form on the shopping cart page. At the time of checkout, you will be asked to select which shipping option you wish to use.

Return Policy/Procedure
If, after receiving your order, you are not completely satisfied, you have 30 days in which to contact us by telephone. The exceptions to this 30-day limit are the products covered by our Results Based Guarantee. See below for more details on returning products covered by that guarantee.
All sales are final on special orders.
Returns are accepted on a pre-authorized basis only. No returns of any type will be accepted without prior authorization. All items eligible for return must be post marked with the RMA # in order for your return to qualify. Returns received without a valid return number will be refused and returned to you by the carrier. Once you have a return authorization, you must ship the product back to us within 10 business days. You are responsible for shipping costs of all returns. COD's will not be accepted.
With the exceptions of the products covered by our Results Based Guarantee, all returns are subject to a minimum restocking fee of 5% of the total transaction charge unless your original order was prepaid. Returns are processed in the order in which they are received. Return processing may take up to 7 business days from the time your return is received. If you have a return that needs to be handled in an expeditious manner, please contact our customer service department, and we will do our best to try and accommodate you. Returns that require a refund may take an additional time before a credit is applied to your charge card. If you paid in payments, your refund may be made under the same terms you were given (or took). All returns must include all merchandise or services sold under the same order number and invoice. Please understand we can not resell most returned items at the regular price as heat and moisture effect the contents. We will therefore not accept partial order returns, regardless of the reason for return, unless specifically authorized by us in writing.
