Occasionally, manufacturers change products, specifications, or appearances of their replacement parts, which is beyond our control. To ensure accuracy, please check product specifi cations. Products without a brand name: SMPW reserves the right to furnish the same product from different manufacturers when deemed necessary to ensure the highest quality or availability. Products listed may be provided by alternative manufacturers and are made to standards equal to or better than the original parts provided by the named manufacturer of the equipment.
SHIPPING:
Our goal is to ship all in stock orders the same day they are received by 10am ET M-F. Orders are normally shipped out using one of the major ground services unless specified otherwise. Second Day, and Next Day Air is available upon request. If you have a preference or would like us to have freight billed directly, please inform us at the time of order. Defrost heaters will be carefully rolled up to save you on shipping costs when possible. All coil type or rod types of heaters will be shipped in tubes and not coiled up. Any tube or box 108” or more will be shipped LTL. We take pride in the way we package items so they arrive to you undamaged. We do make some decisions to reduce your cost in shipping when possible. On some palletized items, we will spend a little extra time and eff ort to place a triangle warning on the top of the pallet to bring attention not to stack anything on top of the pallet to avoid damage. While this may increase the cost of shipping, it ensures your products arrive undamaged. All items are shipped from our facility at 715 Glen Wild Road, Woodridge, NY 12789
RETURNS:
No product shall be accepted without the proper paperwork issued by SMPW. All returned material must be accompanied by an “RMA” (Returned Merchandise Authorization) number in order to receive a credit. All unauthorized returns will be refused and returned to the purchaser at the purchaser’s expense. All returns must be shipped prepaid. Products sold due to incorrect cross-reference or non-standard cases will be returnable with no re-stocking fees. Your parts are packed well when they leave our facility to prevent damage. If they come to you damaged, report this to the freight company immediately. If you received the incorrect parts and need to ship them back, it is a good idea to ship them well packed so there will be no issue with regard to any credits expected. Do not send returned materials back freight collect or COD as it will be refused. All returns that are not due to SMPW error are subject up to a 25% restocking fee and paperwork processing fee. In these cases, shipping will also be at the expense of the customer. If there is a delay to the credit issued, please contact our offi ce (with proof of delivery if necessary), and we will investigate the item. Please do not apply credits to your account until we have issued a credit.
CREDITS:
Any order cancelled or partially cancelled after it has already left our warehouse will be subject to a restocking fee up to 25%. If the parts arrived to the location specified and are found to be incorrect, assuming they arrive back to us in a condition where they can be re-stocked and resold, a full credit will be authorized. If the parts were returned due to them being incorrect but we fi nd upon receipt they are the correct parts as ordered or different from what the parts that we were told were being returned, a 25% restocking fee plus shipping will apply. This is assuming all the parts arrive in a condition where they can be re-stocked and resold. If the parts returned come back scratched, bent, or in any condition that we feel does not meet the standards we ship out, no credits will be issued.

Further, the purchaser agrees to pay all costs for collection and/or any attorney fees incurred while collecting a delinquent account. First time purchases require credit card payment. Any future orders may be put on account with credit application approval. Upon set up of your account, a credit card will be kept on fi le to ensure payment of any outstanding balances past 45 days.
PARTIAL SHIPMENTS:
One of the ways to avoid this is by sending us forecasts of large projects the quarter before you have it scheduled. It is sometimes difficult to meet the unexpected demands of projects due to volume demands at that time. It is our policy to ship all in stock orders the same day they are received. We will normally backorder the items and ship them as soon as our inventory is re-stocked from our factory(s). If you require your order to be shipped complete, please inform the sales representative who takes care of you or mark your written order, “Ship Complete.”
