1.) SHIPPING
Hand-Tools.com makes it a priority to ship all orders promptly. Hand-Tools.com uses a presale fulfillment system. This type of fulfillment system allows us to offer thousands of items on Hand-Tools.com instead of just a few dozen. The stated quantities on the website are the quantities available at the distributors and manufacturers we buy from. We receive orders from the distributors and manufacturers approximately weekly. We do not offer rush or expedited shipping on any Hand-Tools.com orders. All orders from Hand-Tools.com take a week to deliver at the very minimum. Most orders take less than two weeks to deliver. Some orders can take four weeks to deliver. If you provide an e-mail address you will receive a confirmation from us as soon as the order has been processed. Tracking information is usually sent from the carrier within 24 hours of your shipment. Just because you receive tracking information does not mean your order has shipped.
Please make sure you enter your address correctly as the label will be printed just as you enter your information. Make sure you enter apartment numbers, suite numbers or any other details. We are not responsible for incorrectly entered addresses.
Shipping charges are not refundable. We do not pay for return shipping for any reason, no matter who is at fault.
Items that have been engraved upon are not eligible for refund. No exceptions, not even if you're not happy with how the laser engraving turned out. Products that have been engraved upon are no longer merchantable which is why we have a strict no return policy on said items.
Returned packages will not be acknowledged without proper RMA. All returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee, irregardless of fault. All returns must be postmarked within 30 days of the purchase date. No refunds will be given for returns that are postmarked more than 30 days after the purchase date.
No Cancellations. Once an order has been placed on our system it cannot be cancelled even if only one minute has passed since you placed the order. That said, customers are more than welcome to return unopened and undamaged merchandise in accordance with our return policy.
Shipments to Alaska, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, APO, and FPO will be shipped with USPS Priority Mail. All international shipments will be shipped with USPS Airmail. All packages shipping with the USPS are not insured. Once the package is delivered to the USPS the buyer assumes risk of damage and/or loss.
Hand-Tools.com will normally ship using the shipping method selected. There are certain instances where Hand-Tools.com will use another shipping method than the method chosen by the customer. An example of this would be when the customer selects UPS as the shipping method but provides a PO Box. In this instance Hand-Tools.com would change the shipping method to USPS. The ultimate decision concerning shipping method shall be the sole judgement of Hand-Tools.com. If additional charges are incurred when Hand-Tools.com changes shipping methods those charges will be automatically charged to the total cost of the order.
Hand-Tools.com in most cases will ship 2nd Day Air and Overnight shipments the same day the order is placed. Hand-Tools.com recognizes our customers' urgency when ordering expedited shipments and places priority to those shipements. However, Hand-Tools.com reserves 24 hours to process any package no matter what shipping speed is purchased. We do not offer delivery for Saturdays and Sundays.
Hand-Tools.com is not responsible for any delay in shipping by any carrier. Hand-Tools.com will not issue shipping refunds, file claims on behalf of the customer, or provide any remedy for any missed or delayed shipments. By purchasing anything from Two Point Enteprise the customer agrees that missed or delayed shipments shall simply be chalked up as "bad luck" without remedy or discourse. "Without Discourse" means that Hand-Tools.com will not enter into any argument, formal discussion, debate, or conversation about missed or delayed shipments.
No proof of shipments can be given after 90 days after the purchase date. The reason for this is that most shipping companies only keep tracking and proof of delivery information active in their database for 90 days. Any disputes about proof of delivery or merchandise not received claims must be made no later than 90 days after the order date.
2.) NSF CHECKS AND CREDIT CARD CHARGEBACKS
A $25 administrative fee will be charged on all NSF checks and all credit card chargebacks found in error. Quite frankly it takes time and resources to research credit card chargebacks so please be sure of your chargeback before submitting it. If the chargeback has already occurred by the time we research it the card will be charged again for the original purchase plus the $25 administrative fee.
