Shipping and Returns

***Special Note*** - Our carriers, including UPS, have suspended guaranteed delivery dates on ground and expedited shipments. This means they are not issuing refunds for any late deliveries. We've seen a majority of shipments arrive on time, but if a package arrives late due to carrier, we are unable to issue a refund for the shipping charges.

Fasteners Plus takes a straight forward approach to shipping. If your order is $199 or more, you pay nothing for Standard Ground Shipping to the contiguous 48 states. Custom priced, bulk priced and item exclusions are not eligible for free standard ground shipping. If your order is less than $199, you pay a handling fee plus a low per pound rate. Fasteners Plus packages ship via FedEx, UPS, USPS and LTL carriers. To reduce transit time as much as possible, products ship from multiple distribution centers located across the United States.

* - Items that are 96" in length and longer do not qualify for free shipping and require the ability to accept a freight truck LTL shipment. Please call 888-794-1590 to get a quote on oversize length items.

Product Lead Times - All of our products have a shipping timer to let you know when your products should ship. Some products have a lead time due to being made to order or if they are out of stock. The lead time indicates the time it takes to produce the item for shipment and does not include transit time. Prompt, consistent service is important to us and we strive for optimal standards always. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need to confirm availability and actual shipping times.

Billing

We charge when we ship. Some payment providers require we process the payment sooner and in full, prior to shipping.  If this happens, it will reflect on your receipt.  You will receive a separate payment receipt for each charge. If your order is split into more than one shipment you will receive an email with a receipt after each.

Expedited shipping is also available if you’re in a pinch.

We know how important it is that you have the fasteners on the job when you need them!  If you need them faster, give us a call at (888) 794-1590 and we will help explore options to ensure they arrive on time!
