Home > Shipping Information
We
try diligently to keep shipping costs as low as possible. Most items
will ship the same or following business day. Items that need to be
pulled from our wrecking yard may take up to 5 business days before they
are shipped.
As we are adding products to our online catalog, we are striving hard
to input shipping values that are accurate, but the automated system
can not accommodate every shipping configuration. Some orders need to be
calculated manually, and if you think that the shipping is higher than
it should be for an order, just select the "Manually Calculate My
Shipping" option in the checkout section and we will be happy to email
with the shipping total.
If the value for shipping comes out to be $0.00 or fails to
appear at all, that more than likely means that your order has exceeded
the maximum shipping weight for the shipping method you have selected or
you have selected an invalid shipping. Try changing shipping methods,
if that does not work choose "Manually Calculate Shipping."
It is also possible you have found a glitch in our shipping system.
We try to remedy glitches as soon as they come to our attention, but
inevitably we have missed some. We appreciate being emailed any glitches
that you find (you might even be able to talk Don into a free t-shirt
if it is a glitch we were unaware of).
Domestic Shipping (within the United States)
How long do shipments usually take?
Shipment delivery time will vary greatly depending on what shipping
method you choose. Additionally, if you order used parts they can take
up to 5 business days before they are ready to ship. If we need to build
a custom crate for your shipment, that can take and additional 3-5
days.

Do you ship to APO/FPO Addresses?
We are more than happy to ship to APO/FPO 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.
The shipping total seems excessively high... What gives!
If you have a feeling your computer generated shipping total is too high you are probably right. Our system is not sophisticated enough to realize that a 67 deck lid moulding, a 67 belt-line kit and a 67 dash face pad can all fit in one long slender box. When ordering multiple odd shaped or over sized parts it is sometimes beneficial to select "manually calculate shipping" during checkout. We will email you a total once your order is pulled, measured, boxed and postage is calculated.

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 of some 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 a list of Shipping Brokers).
All of the brokers in that list are brokers that other customers have had us send parts to, and customers have reported positive experiences.
You
will need to contact the shipping broker for details on how much they
will 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/Truck Freight, the shipment will usually arrive in 2-5 business days. If
you choose to send it to one of the brokers in the Eastern US via UPS Ground/Truck Freight, it usually take 3-10 business days to get to the broker.
The shipping total seems excessively high... What gives!
If you have a feeling your computer generated shipping total is too high you are probably right. Over 95% of the time our system does accurately calculate the shipping, but our system is not sophisticated enough to realize that a 67 deck lid moulding, a 67 belt-line kit and a 67 dash face pad can all fit in one long slender box. When ordering multiple odd shaped or over sized parts it is sometimes beneficial to select "In-Store Pickup" during checkout, then add a note to the order asking us to manually verify the shipping charges. We will email you a total once your order is pulled, measured, boxed and postage is calculated.
