Shipping & Returns

Shipping:

  • Where it states: "FREE SHIPPING" or "Shipping Included", what locations does this include? 

    • This means coast-to-coast within the continental United States.  This does not include Alaska or Hawaii for instance.
    • This also means the cost of shipping is included in the price.
  • How much lead time is necessary from the time a part is ordered until the time the part is shipped?

    • Some parts are in stock and ready to ship while others have to be custom made at the customer’s request.  An approximate lead time is noted on the product page.

International Shipping:

  • International shipping can be made available although this website is set up for domestic shipping.  International orders should contact me via email at richard@hi-potek.com to inquire about the extra shipping charges to their destination. Destinations other than Canada require the buyer to use a freight forwarder located within the USA.
