FREE SHIPPING:

I am excited to announce that beginning January, 2017, Streamlined Backshop offers FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $150 USD with the following exclusions and limitations:

1. A $1 Universal Handling Fee applies to all orders.

2. The FREE SHIPPING option must be chosen by the BUYER during order checkout.  Use of this offer is not monitored except for exclusions and limitations and it WILL NOT BE APPLIED RETROACTIVELY.

3. Domestic shipping services are limited to USPS First Class or Priority Mail strictly at shippers discretion.  All international shipping options are excluded from this offer.

4. Maximum weight limit to qualify for free shipping is 4 pounds per order.  No credit or discount will be extended for large or overweight items or orders. 

5. Returned or out-of-stock merchandise shipped using the FREE SHIPPING offer will be assessed a restocking fee as stated in the Return Policy.

6. Shipping on decoder installations and all other custom services are excluded from this offer and shipping will be charged at regular market rates.

7. Good-deals DCC test tracks, Digitrax PS2012 Power Supplies, NCE Brutus Power Supplies, ESU ECoS Command Stations, and similar oversized and bulky items are specifically excluded due to size and weight.

LEADTIME:

Normal leadtime for most stock products is 1 week or less. Normal leadtime for made-to-order products is usually 2 to 4 weeks. Normal leadtime for decoder installations is 8 to 12 weeks. Depending on load, schedule, and complexity, leadtime may be extended for up to 16 weeks or more. I will advise you of any further changes to this schedule upon receipt of order.

PRIOR SALE:

I do not have a "brick-and-mortar" storefront. SBS4DCC.COM is my primary sales outlet. I attend shows and other sales periodically to further market my products. All items are subject to prior sale. It may take me an extra day or two to acknowledge your order if I am away. I will advise you of any issues that may affect prompt handling of your purchase upon receipt of order.

BACK ORDERS:

I strive to provide next day service on items I stock.  There may be instances when it is necessary to back order certain items.  I will advise you if there will be a significant delay in delivery.  Additional shipping charges will apply for multiple shipments.

PAYMENT:

I prefer payment for products to be made in full via Cash, Check, Money Order, Credit Card or Pay-Pal at the time of purchase for retail items.  I prefer payment for backshop services to be made in full via Cash, Check, Credit Card or Pay-Pal upon successful completion of the project.  Some projects may require a deposit in advance.  Checks may delay shipping as much as 15 business days.  Delivery of funds is the BUYERS responsibility.

SALES TAX:

All sales shipped to destinations in the State of Alabama are subject to Alabama sales tax at the current rate at the time payment is remitted.

SHIPPING ESTIMATES:

Estimated shipping charges can be obtained by adding the desired item to a shopping cart, entering your ship to information, and then selecting the desired shipping method.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES:

I do add a small fee to each order to help cover my overhead costs and packaging expenses. I too am shocked at the current prices for USPS and UPS services, but at the end of the day, it is what it is. I will continue to look for ways to keep this added cost to a minimum. I will combine purchases to help minimize this cost when possible and strictly at shippers discretion.

SHIPPING:

I am able to offer shipping worldwide via USPS only. Please request and confirm special handling of your order prior to purchase. 

Changes to the requested shipping method may be required due to size, weight, or unavailability of the requested service.  I reserve the right choose and use alternate shipping methods at my discretion for any order regardless of the method requested on the order without notice.  Additional charges may apply and you will be contacted for payment information as required.

COMBINED SHIPPING:

I will gladly combine purchases AT MY DISCRETION to reduce your shipping charges. If you plan to make multiple purchases and there will be a delay between orders, please let me know so that I can hold your shipment until the order is complete. 

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:

Please review the TEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL ORDER PROCESS

I will not ship oils, grease, paint, glue, aerosols or similar type items to international destinations.  They WILL NOT make it to you safely.

Customs data is transferred directly from the order to the shipping label.  I do not, will not, can not edit or manipulate the customs information or values for any reason.  Please... do not ask me to do this.

I am happy to ship to many countries worldwide. Because of the obvious issues of time and space, I cannot be responsible for these shipments once they have been tendered to the USPS.

I will provide a copy of customs documents as proof-of-shipment upon request.

For shipments where the value exceeds $75 USD, I strongly recommend using USPS Priority Mail or Express Mail.  

Tracking information for all shipments is provided by USPS and is subject to accuracy of their system.  It is my experience that the tracking will not be updated once it has been transferred to US Customs and subsequent agencies outside the US.  I cannot provide updates or status beyond the information published on the USPS website.  If you are not comfortable with this reality, please do not make your purchase here.

The shipping address will be printed exactly as it shows on the order.  I do not edit, transfer or manipulate the address in any way.  I am not responsible errors in typing or format.

I have successfully completed transactions to the following countries but this is not a guarantee of future success: Canada, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Ireland, Scotland, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, New Caldonia, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Portugal, Poland, Germany, Latvia, Bosnia, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, The Phillipines, Hong Kong and others.

Most purchases ship within 24 to 48 hours from receipt of order.  The order cut-off time for next day shipping is typically 8 pm CST.

I try to ship daily however I may adjust this schedule as needed in an effort to minimize transportation and handling costs. Delivery confirmation is included on most shipments.

I may be able to help, if I know... This schedule is subject to change at any time without notice.

INSURANCE:

I cannot be responsible for lost or damaged shipments. USPS includes $50 insurance and UPS includes $100 insurance with each shipment. Additional shipping insurance is the buyers responsibility. I am more than happy to arrange for it at time of shipment I just don't pay for it. Please include extra monies and instructions as required with your payment. Please contact the shipper ...not the seller... immediately to report any damage from shipping and to file a claim accordingly. I cannot file any claims on your behalf but will assist you with proof of shipment as required.

CANCELLATIONS AND CANCELLATION FEES:

I reserve the right to determine if an order may be cancelled. A minimum 10% cancellation fee will apply. Additional fees WILL be charged based on expenses incurred at the time of cancellation request.
