SHIPPING TIMES GIVEN AT CHECKOUT ARE CARRIER ESTIMATES ONLY. Please allow approximately 1-3 business days for your order to be processed and shipped if it is a normally stocked item. We do our best to keep most items in stock, but some are shipped direct from the manufacture if we are out of stock. Custom built items may take 14-21 business days to be shipped. These processing and shipping times are estimates only, we do our best to process orders within our estimated time frame, but delays can happen from time to time. Please bear with us as we are working as diligently as possible.
We have multiple distribution warehouses that in stock items may ship from, so please keep in mind that orders with multiple items may ship from different locations and the tracking numbers and delivery dates may differ.
Any order over $250 USD that is eligible for free shipping and applies to the U.S. 48 continental** states ONLY! Any other territory such as Puerto Rico, HI, AK, etc will have an additional shipping charge. If the shopping cart does not calculate it, don't worry we will contact you with additional shipping amount that is required. In some cases, the shipping calculator can be incorrect and additional shipping could be due. At that point, it is up to you to decide if you would like to continue with your purchase or get a refund.
If for any reason you have a question and would like to contact us at info@droppinhzcaraudio.com, please don't hesitate. We are here to make your purchase a positive experience with our company.
Refused/Returned to sender packages:
If any package is refused and/or returned to sender for any reason, the customer is responsible for any additional return shipping charges to be deducted from their refund, in addition to the 20% restocking fee. Please note that in situations where we have shipped orders directly to our customers from our suppliers and that delivery is refused and or returned to the supplier, there will be extended wait times on refunds to allow for return processing from the supplier and our company. All shipping charges and package protection charges are non-refundable.
