METHOD OF SHIPMENT
Pack your product carefully, insure it for replacement value, and ship to us via UPS. We have found this to be the fastest, safest & most economical method of shipment for the products we service. The repaired unit will be returned to you via UPS. If you choose to ship a product via the US Postal Service and it arrives improperly packed or with a damaged box, we will refuse the product so it can be returned to you for a possible damage settlement with that carrier.
METHOD OF PAYMENT
- COD: If you provide a contact e-mail address, our UPS computer will e-mail you with the COD total on the evening each repair ships. You may pay the UPS driver with a Company Check made payable to our business. Dealers who have a history of Returned Checks will be asked to pay by Money Order or Certified Check. We do not accept personal checks & UPS does not accept cash.
- CREDIT CARD: We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover & Diner's Card: (1) if you provide signed authorization to charge all your repair to the same credit card and (2) if the credit card billing address you provide to us matches the billing address in Visa / Mastercard's computer system. Please print our credit card authorization form and fax to our Customer Service department. We will not accept your customer's credit card. We do not accept DEBIT / CHECK cards for mail order transactions, even if they include a Visa or Mastercard logo.
- OPEN ACCOUNT: We do not offer open account to most businesses. There are a few classifications of businesses that we bill as a courtesy to certain manufacturers. If you feel you might qualify for OPEN ACCOUNT status, please call and speak to a Customer Service Representative.
