Shipping Questions
The shipping total seems excessively high... I'm not trying to ship the whole car! What gives?
Over 95% of the time shipping quotes are pretty accurate, as our system directly communicates with the UPS and USPS websites and the rates displayed to you are based directly on what UPS and USPS say they will charge us. That being said, there are a couple of known reasons why shipping charges may calculate to high.

The most common reason is if you have an item on the order that is over 12 inches in length, as those items use the dimensions of the item to calculate the correct shipping rates, known as dimensional weights. Currently our system will only use the dimensions to calculate the shipping if we set it to treat those items as if they ship by themselves. So if you have items that could nest in a box with an item that needs to calculate shipping based upon dimensions, the shipping may calculate high because it calculates as if they are shipping in seperate boxes.

This is also true if you order multiple items that are over 12 inches in length, the shipping may calculate high because it calculates as if they are shipping in seperate boxes, when sometimes we can ship them in the same box.

In these situations, you can choose your prefered shipping method and make a note on the order to 'please verify the shipping charges', or choose 'In-Store Pickup' and make a note on the order to 'please verify the shipping charges'. We will hold your order until we can determine the least expensive shipping method.
Do you ship internationally / to U.S. Military Addresses?
We absolutely do, in fact we ship items to international destinations every day. Here is a map showing some of the countries we have shipped to: Countries Map.

If you are looking to ship large items or are going to be purchasing a lot of items, we recommend contacting a local American Car Club in your area, as they frequently have a shipments that are shipped via a shipping broker in a shipping container that you can combine your items into at a savings over what shipping it directly to you would cost.

We are also more than happy to ship to US military addresses. Please remember that only USPS can deliver to these addresses, so what you are ordering must fit within the guidelines for the USPS Military Mail Shipping Rules. These rules can be found at https://www.usps.com/ship/apo-fpo-dpo.htm.

Military personnel overseas may also want to check with the local American Car Club. Many of them regularly ship items out of the US and are more than willing to include your parts as well.
What is a Shipping Broker and when should I consider using one?
Shipping brokers are companies that send container ships overseas on a regular basis and will include your order with their shipment to your area for a fee. Many times shipping through a shipping broker will save you money compared to shipping via USPS Post or UPS for overseas shipment, especially for items like bumpers, dash pads and most sheet metal parts.

We do not work directly with any brokers. We have a list shipping brokers that have been used by other customers so that you have a starting place when looking for a shipping broker (Click here to see the list). All of the brokers listed are brokers that our customers have used. You would need to contact the shipping broker for details on how much they would charge to send your shipment, and how long it would take. Remember to factor in the cost of shipping your items from us to your shipping broker. If you ship to one of the brokers in California via UPS Ground, the shipment will usually arrive in 3-5 business days. If you choose to send it to one of the brokers in the Eastern US via UPS Ground, it usually take 5-10 business days to get to the broker.
What is Priority Mail Innovations?
UPS Mail Innovations (UPS-MI) is a joint program between United Parcel Service (UPS) and the US Postal Service (USPS). UPS picks the parcels up from us, presorts the parcels, and delivers them to the US Postal Service International Dispatch center. Because UPS delivers the packages to the US Postal Service already presorted in bulk, the cost of shipping those items is less expensive; UPS passes those savings onto us and we in turn pass those savings on to you. Once the parcels reach the US Postal Service Dispatch Center, packages under 4 lbs are handled via USPS e-Packet Priority Mail and any parcel over 4lbs is handled via standard Priority Mail. Once the package reaches the US Post International Distribution cernter the delivery time should be similar to Priority Mail parcel mailed directly via the post office.

The main difference between US Post and UPS Mail Innovations are:
  • we only send Mail Innovations to UPS once a week
  • once sent it can take 2-5 days to get from us to the US Post International Dispatch center
  • the tracking of Mail Innovations parcels is handled through UPS.com instead of through the US Postal Service website

Just like any parcel mailed via US Postal Service, the parcels are delivered by your local post office and not by UPS. If you have not received your package in 30 days from the date of your purchase, most likely the parcel is sitting at the local post office waiting for you to pay the customs fees. In some countries you can go to the local post office, provide your name / address and they can find the package for you. In some countries you will need the Customs Number. If you contact your local post office and they require the Customs Number, please check the tracking link you are emailed for the Customs Number (sometimes called the Secondary Tracking Number), if you cannot find such a number on the link you were provided, please contact us so we can request the Customs Number required.
Product Questions
Your website shows that an item is out of stock, is that true? Can you let me know when you get it back in stock?
98% of the time, if the website shows that the item is out of stock, it is probably out of stock. Our inventory system updates our website at least once per hour, so unless the item was received into inventory within the last hour, it is probably out of stock.

The good news is that we have a Product Notification system that allows you to get an email notification when the item is back in stock.

Just look for this icon:



Click on that icon and you will see a "Notify Me When Available" button:
Why do some items require that I send a core in advance of my part being shipped to me?
There are some of our restored parts, that we just do not have a sufficient supply of to be able to sell them if you do not have a core that we can restore. In fact, some parts we do not have any on hand. In those cases, we have to be able to receive, inspect and then restore your exact part.
Payment Questions
Do you accept Cryptocurrency as a payment option?
We absolutely do. We are integrated with CoinBase Commerce to accept multiple Cryptocurrencies. You can see the currently supported list of currencies here.
