These are shown in the chart on the Order Form. They are ESTIMATED charges only. Actual billed charges will depend upon weight, dimensions, and destination. They are based on published UPS and USPS rates, dimensional size, and insurance. ALWAYS INCLUDE EXTRA SHIPPING FOR HEAVY OR BULKY ITEMS. Excess amounts will be refunded.

ORDERING: We will accept orders for parts that are listed in our catalog. Orders should be filled out completely on our order form. Fill in all the information requested. Phone number and postal code must be included.

SHIPPING: All orders will be mailed US Air Mail when possible. Also see "Alternate Shipping Information." Shipments will be made by courier when specified by the customer or if size / value is a factor.

WEIGHT: In general, almost all countries will accept individual packages weighing up to 10 kilo. Many countries will accept packages up to 20 kilo. We will package your order in the required number of containers to meet with these requirements.

SIZE: The U.S. Postal Service, not the customer’s country, determines the size limits. In general, the greatest length cannot exceed 106 cm. The total length and girth combined cannot exceed 180 cm.

INSURANCE: US Postal Service Insurance is available for most countries. Individual countries have different maximum insurance limits. Insurance limits apply to each individual package, not the total order if in more than one package. All packages are automatically insured for the value of the contents where insurance is available.

CUSTOMS: Custom Forms are required for all packages being sent from the U.S. We will complete and attach the required forms. The customer is responsible for paying all duties, fees, and taxes levied by his country. Values will not be altered on customs documents.

POSTAGE: All Postage Fees charged by the Postal Service are based on actual weight. As a means of estimating the postage required, we have devised the chart below. These are ESTIMATED amounts. Actual postage will be charged. Any shortage will be billed. Any excess will be held as a credit to apply to a future order. We do not refund foreign orders paid with a check or money order.

BE SURE TO INCLUDE EXTRA POSTAGE FOR HEAVY OR BULKY ITEMS

OTHER CHARGES: In addition to the postage charges above, there are three other charges. These are explained below:

BOXING FEE: International shipments require special boxing and wrapping and the preparation of Customs Documents. To simplify things, we have established a minimum fee of $3.00 or 5% for every $100.00, whichever is greater. Please add this to the above postage charges. Also include special fees for specific parts listed in the catalog.

BANK COLLECTION FEES: If your form of payment does not meet the Banking Requirements listed in the Payments Section, our bank will charge a Collection Fee. This fee is explained in the Payments Section. The fee is the exact amount of the bank Collection Fee. These fees are normally between $15.00 and $50.00.

INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS:

• Full payment, including postage and other charges, must be included with your order. There are no Open Accounts or Credit extended.
• All payments must be in U.S. dollars. We do not accept Western Union or PayPal.
• Cash, in the form of U.S. dollars, may be sent at the customer's risk.
• All checks, money orders, or drafts must be payable on a New York Bank and have U.S. Federal Reserve Routing Numbers. These are special numbers used by the U.S. Banking System. If you cannot obtain this type check from your bank with these numbers, then please include the Bank Collection Fee listed above in the "Other Charges" section.

EXPRESS MAIL / AIR FREIGHT COURIERS: Upon special request small packages will be shipped by Express Mail / Air Freight Couriers. Double the shipping rate amounts shown in the Postage chart if you want your package sent Express Mail. The fee schedule is quite expensive and should be considered only if speed is essential or the ordered items are too big for Parcel Post. The fee schedule for Air Freight is too complex to provide estimates. The fee is based on a combination of weight, volume, and destination. UPS Air Service is also available; rates vary greatly by destination.

We do NOT ship by Ocean Freight. Crating costs, shipping costs, and other problems preclude the offering of this service.
