How can I find out Shipping Cost?
Shipping costs are always provided to you prior to the completion of a purchase.
To determine the shipping cost (when applicable):
- Choose “Add to Cart” to place the item(s) into the shopping cart
- On “View Cart” page, enter the ship to zip code (if in the U.S.), country of destination and shipping method into the Shipping Calculator
- Hit “Apply”
Once the page reloads, the total will appear (including cost of product, shipping and any other fees/taxes, if applicable). Remember, all charges apply only after the point of order fulfillment.
Reminder:
It is critical to enter a valid shipping method at the time of checkout. An incorrect method of shipping is entered if the message, “The shipping method you specified is not available for your address” appears. In addition, adjust the shipping method if the order contains a shipping charge of $0 and has a destination outside of the contiguous 48 states (excluding orders whose terminus is a Military APO/FPO/DPO) or a shipping method other than UPS Ground for domestic orders. For all orders, please choose a valid shipping option to expedite an order and to ensure proper charges. Please be aware that RadarGuns.com reserves the right to alter invalid shipping methods without notice.
Freight delivery is for volume orders only, is not free nor is a valid shipping alternative for most orders. Please note when a customer improperly chooses Freight delivery, a delay in a shipment’s arrival will occur due to a longer order processing time.
Freight carriers ship merchandise that is above maximum weight and dimension limits for common carriers. If an individual product requires Freight delivery, the information is shown on the product page, any additional charges are conveyed to the customer and customer approval of additional costs is required. Please note that volume orders may require Freight delivery that is not displayed on the product page, although free shipping is often available for wholesale and volume purchases. For more information, contact our Government and Volume Sales Specialists for an Official Price Quote.
How long does it take to process an order?
Most in-stock orders ship within 1-2 days from our Northbrook, Illinois based warehouse. Orders that require shipment from our vendors or are for custom-built products, e.g. prescription eyewear or custom riflescopes, may take slightly longer to fulfill. For faster delivery, please choose any of the express shipping options when ordering. On the rare occasion an item is not available for immediate shipping, you will be notified with an estimated time of arrival for the item. Once contacted, you may allow the order to continue or make any adjustments, including cancellation, if desired. If an order cannot ship in its entirety, RadarGuns.com reserves the right to hold the order until all items are in stock or to send as items become available.
Tracking information is sent via email upon shipment. To check order status, see Order Status page. Please use the tracking/delivery confirmation number provided in the shipment notification email. Please note, for most orders, it might take up to 24-48 hours for the first scan to show up on the carrier’s website.
Contact us if you need help with tracking an order.
Can I have my package rescheduled or re-routed?
Your package can potentially be rescheduled or re-routed at an additional charge if UPS is the carrier handling the delivery. All other carriers cannot accommodate such requests. Please contact us immediately to request a delivery intercept. All successful intercepts are subject to a $12 fee per tracking number (plus any transportation charges).
UPS can fulfill four types of delivery intercepts:
- Return to Sender: The return of the shipment to RadarGuns.com for a refund or exchange
- Deliver to Another Address: Rerouting the package to a new address for delivery
Reminder: As PayPal requires confirmation of all addresses, the "Deliver to Another Address" option is not available for orders paid via PayPal. As an alternative, please be sure to cancel the order prior to shipment and place a new order either online or by phone with the updated information included. Please note that once a PayPal order ships, we are unable to change the routing of a package.
- Will Call: Holding the package for the consignee at the nearest UPS location for pickup
- Reschedule Delivery: Holding the package for delivery on a future date up to 5 business days
Note:
To avoid a fee using the Will Call/Reschedule Delivery option, you can institute a Delivery Change Request. This option allows UPS to alter the original delivery instructions for the shipment only after the first delivery attempt. Just dial 1-800-PICK-UPS and ask for a Delivery Change Request from a representative. For example, if you are unable to sign for a package requiring a signature, you can instigate a Delivery Change Request. This allows you to pick up the package at the nearest UPS facility or to reschedule a delivery for a future date within 5 business days from the originally scheduled delivery date. All Delivery Change Requests must be completed by the customer and only after the first driver attempt at delivery. Additionally, you can refuse a delivery of any package at no charge. To refuse a package, you need to be home at the time of delivery and advise the UPS driver accordingly. Please note that original shipping charges are not refunded if a package is refused in cases where a receiver is no longer willing to pursue an order.
Delivery intercepts and delivery change requests are never guaranteed and are for domestic UPS orders only. However, we only charge your account for a successfully completed intercept. To avoid the necessity of an intercept, check the address before finalizing an order and be available when the package arrives. For the cancellation of orders, please contact us prior to shipment.
What happens if I received a wrong or defective item?
Contact us within 30 days of receipt if a package arrives with an item not in the order or the product does not work properly. We will gladly exchange the unwanted item for a suitable replacement. When this occurs, RadarGuns.com furnishes a UPS prepaid shipping label to our customers to cover all return shipping charges.
To receive a UPS prepaid label:
- Please generate a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Number. No return or exchange is accepted without a RMA Number.
- Contact us immediately with detailed information about the source of the issue.
- A prepaid label is sent from UPS to your e-mail address within 1-2 business days with instructions on proceeding.
Reminder:
Customers are required to fill out a RMA before a label is sent. Please do NOT return product without a UPS prepaid label. No refunds are issued if a customer requests reimbursement for return shipping charges without contacting RadarGuns.com for a prepaid return label first or when a prepaid shipping label was provided.
Upon receipt of a completed RMA and a request for a prepaid label, an e-mail is sent to the account provided at the time of ordering with a prepaid shipping label for all items under $1,000. Print out this label, attach it to your box and drop it off at the nearest UPS facility. RadarGuns.com issues a call tag for items over $1,000. When a call tag is issued, a UPS truck will make three attempts to physically pick up the package from your ship to address provided at the time of ordering.
Note:
Labels are sent via e-mail by UPS. If you have not received a label as expected, please ensure that the e-mail was not filtered by checking your Spam folder. If the prepaid label still is not received, please contact us.
When the product returns to RadarGuns.com, our Returns department will process the RMA in accordance with our Return Policy. Upon inspection, if we determine that the item is not defective, broken, incorrect or that the customer misused the merchandise, RadarGuns.com will charge the customer’s account the return shipping fees.
What happens if I am unavailable for a Signature Confirmation?
RadarGuns.com requires our carriers to acquire a Signature Confirmation for certain orders. In addition, drivers may require a signature when delivering to certain locations. In some cases, you may be unavailable to sign for the package when the carrier arrives. When this occurs, you can institute a Delivery Change Request after the first delivery attempt. For specific information on completing a Delivery Change Request, please read the section about re-routing a package.
What happens if my item arrived damaged or was lost?
RadarGuns.com partners with only the most reliable carriers and apologizes for any delays caused by lost or damaged packages. We immediately work on shipping errors with our carriers and most claims are resolved within two weeks from initiation to ensure that you are completely satisfied.
If you don’t want to wait until the damage or loss investigation is completed and you want us to send a replacement item right away, please contact us. We will ship the item right out to you (assuming it is in stock). We will have to charge your credit card for the replacement and will refund the money for your original order once the carrier confirms the shipping damage or loss and pays us the insurance settlement.
Lost Packages
Contact us immediately if the tracking number has no scans for over 48 hours. In addition, contact us us if tracking shows a package as delivered that is not in your possession to initiate a claim. Each carrier has a unique process of claim handling and a set of timeframes that it follows. We will communicate all details to you via phone or email. Carriers also may conduct detailed investigations in cases of possible mail tampering and postal fraud. Full cooperation is imperative in order to quickly and effectively resolve such issues.
Upon a favorable claim resolution, RadarGuns.com may initiate a replacement order and sends an e-mail to the account with the new tracking number once the product has left our warehouse. If an in-stock replacement item is requested prior to a claim resolution, your credit card will be billed and a refund is only instituted once the lost claim is approved by the carrier.
Contact us immediately if the original shipment arrives prior to the resolution of the claim. If the original package arrives at a future date after the delivery of the replacement, contact us immediately for a pickup at our expense. Keeping this delivery will result in the customer billed for both the original shipment and the replacement order.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Damaged Packages
Upon receipt, please inspect the order for any evidence of damage and do not sign for a package without fully inspecting the contents. If there is visible damage to the box, the merchandise or items are missing, kindly refuse the package.
Contact us immediately to initiate a claim if a package arrives damaged with the product number of the affected item(s), the nature of the damage (e.g. shattered, cracked, dented, item missing) and specific information about the condition of the box (e.g. retaped, poked, contains a hole). If a package was partially accepted, please denote which item(s) were refused. Reseal the shipment and hold on to the original packaging materials for a possible inspection by the carrier. It is vital that you hold onto the package for up to 30 days. Please do not send the damaged package back to RadarGuns.com as this will result in a denied claim and you will be responsible for all associated costs. If no inspection occurs, you can discard the shipment after the 30 days expire.
