Shipping Policy and Questions
At this time our website does not provide stock information for all products. Our system does use an estimated delivery date function, however this is based on historical data and shipping times estimated from manufacturers/suppliers. We will make our best effort to meet the dates shown, but they are not a guarantee to do so. You will receive an email confirmation with your estimated delivery dates once your order is processed. To get help with a specific product’s lead time, please click here.
We try to ship your order on the same day we receive it. We ship only on standard business days. If your shipment is time-sensitive, please contact before ordering to confirm that we will be able to meet your requirements. We will make all reasonable efforts to initiate shipment and schedule delivery as close as possible to your requested delivery date(s). However, please keep in mind that our delivery dates are estimates only and shipments may be affected by factors outside our control that we cannot be responsible for delays or shipping errors caused by the shipment carriers. Failure to make shipments as scheduled does not constitute a cause for cancellation and/or for damages of any nature. Orders may not be canceled or rescheduled after the order has been submitted by monarchbearing.com to the shipment carrier.
As long as the product is in stock, we can ship most items via Overnight, or 2 Day delivery methods. All express orders, overnight, second day, and three day deliveries placed must be received by 11:00AM Pacific Standard Time in order for us to attempt to ship it out same day. Some items, such as hazmat, aerosols, or oversized products are ineligible to ship via air, and will be changed to standard ground shipping. If for any reason you order will not ship immediately for expedited shipping, we will contact you via email or phone. If we are unable to reach you, the order will be shipped via the requested method as soon as it is available. If an order is placed to be shipped via Express (Overnight, or 2 Day), and it is delayed by the shipping carrier, it is the customers responsibility to file a claim with the carrier. Monarchbearing.com will not issue a refund for shipping delays caused by carriers. If an Express order is delayed before it ships, it will still be shipped via the chosen method unless the customer reaches out and requests to have the order shipped via a Free shipping method, in which case a full credit will be issued for shipping charges. This change can only be made if an order has not yet reached "Shipped" or "Picked" status. If a delayed order is shipped via an Express Method, Monarchbearing.com will not issue a refund for shipping charges.
At times we are waiting on shipments from the manufacturers who may encounter part or component issues in manufacturing the products. While we do our best to get your products out to you quickly, these manufacturer delays are unfortunately out of our control. If you no longer want a product you ordered, due to delays from a shipping carrier or the manufacturer, you will be responsible for the return shipping cost. The products must be returned in new and unused condition in the original packaging. The Return Form must be included in the box. The customer is responsible for all shipping charges associated with the return or exchange. Orders for Non-Refundable / Non-Cancelable products cannot be cancelled for any reason. This includes lead times. We do our best to accommodate your request, however in most circumstances this is typically the manufacturers policy as well for our purchase with them.
With Free Shipping, your product will be shipped via UPS or FedEx Ground. If your order contains items that do not qualify for the free shipping you will be charged the cost to ship those items. Also note, free ground shipping is valid only within the Contiguous United States and excludes Alaska and Hawaii. Please contact us if you would like to find out more about which items qualify for free shipping.
UPS and FedEx do not ship to PO Boxes. All addresses should include a street address, city, state, and postal code. If special instructions are necessary, please note them on the checkout page. Customers are responsible for entering the correct shipping information; this includes matching the address with the correct postal code as entered in the checkout process. If Fedex cannot find the shipping destination due to customer error in entering the address, the shipping costs associated with returning the package to monarchbearing.com and re-shipping the package to its correct address will be the responsibility of the customer. If after the package returns to monarchbearing.com, a customer decides not to re-ship, the order will be subject to standard return policies including restocking fees.
