HOW
TO PLACE AN ORDER
|
|
To place an order call 1-888-RIKS-VET or e-mail to RIKSVET@riksvet.com. PLEASE have your order ready including quantity, part number and description. We ask that you write down the items you wish to order instead of thumbing through the catalog, or trying to order from memory. Please remember, the toll free order line is for placing order only-if you have any questions about a part, or need to check about an order already placed you need to call Customer Service at: 828-433-6506. Orders are taken Monday-Thurs 8:30am-5pm and on Fridays 8:30am-12 Noon EST (CLOSED FRIDAYS IN JUNE, JULY & AUGUST). If we are closed you may leave your order with our answering service, who can take your order, but cannot answer questions or give you any kind of information. We may have our phones on voice mail, so you can leave your message there after hours. We do prefer that you call us during our business hours instead of placing it with our answering service, so that we can give you the personal attention you need. Or you can place your order on-line through our secured server. ORDERING TIPS & SUGGESTIONS: When you are planning your parts order, please PLAN AHEAD as much as possible. Don't wait until the last minute to order something you need. Occasionally parts may be out of stock or on a factory backorder causing a delay in processing your order. Planning ahead will help you and Rik's both keep your project on schedule. TERMS: PAYMENT & SHIPPING: Most Orders
are shipped by UPS (United Parcel Service). Small packages & requested orders will be shipped by the Postal
Service, usually by Priority Mail. The extra fees that UPS is now charging for residential & remote deliveries has risen in the last few years, and we have found that Priority Mail is a cheaper, as effecient way to ship packages to our customers, However, if the weight exceeds 3-5 pounds, or is a large package, it may be best to ship UPS. PAINT & STRIPPER MUST SHIP BY UPS. COD SHIPMENTS: If you wish to prepay an order, please call for approximate shipping charges or include shipping according to chart below ESTIMATE
SHIPPING CHARGES
(Inside U.S. Only) CATALOGS ARE MAILED AT NO CHARGE WITHIN THE U.S. You will
be notified if you pre-pay an order and the shipping charges you enclosed
are not enough. Money order or cashier's check only will be accepted on COD shipments. There will be a $25 fee on any check returned from the bank unpaid. Parts too
large to ship UPS will be shipped by truck. Orders must be pre-paid. Truck shipment does not fall
under the 10% shipping charge fee. MINIMUM ORDER: There is not really a minimum order required, however, due to the high cost of handling, there will be a small order handling charge of $2.00 for any parts order under $20.00, IN ADDITION to shipping. It can be expensive to ship small orders ($10.95-$12.95 minimum). It is best to order as much at one time as you can to help pay for the shipping! Shipping to Mid West, West Coast & remote areas require higher shipping costs. RECEIVING ORDERS: When you receive your order, be sure to inspect the package and its contents thoroughly, even if you won't be using them on your car for some time. If there are any damages or shortages you must report them to us within 15 days of the invoice date to receive proper credit. After that period of time we cannot help you. Inspect the parts to make sure they are what you intended to order. Remember no returns accepted after 30 days! DAMAGED ITEMS: DO NOT send damaged parts back to us! If you receive an item that is damaged or defective you must contact us at 828-433-6506 and we will file a damage claim with the shipping company (UPS, Trucking Company, etc.).

have a part you would like to return you MUST call for a return
authorization number. For authorization call 828-433 6506 and give us

a 15% return fee on all parts that were sent correctly by Rik's as

no return fee. However, if we do have to issue a refund to your credit card, the 15% return fee will apply. Do not send parts back to us that have not been authorized.

IN STORE PICKUP Due to increased shipping costs, we must now charge a partial shipping fee on some large parts picked up at our store. This charge to you is only about half or less than half of our freight cost. Most parts we advertise are priced for internet sales, and these parts are normally drop shipped to our customer from the manufacturer's warehouse, therefore saving us additional shipping costs. But if the part is picked up at our store, we usually have $10-$45 more in shipping fees to us. This will still be cheaper than having the large item shipped to you from another retailer. Most of the parts we sell can be shipped to us in bulk, so we can usually cover the costs. But some parts, like those listed below, have to be shipped in separate boxes, costing us high fees on each box. We like to offer the convenience of in-store pick up to our customers, because it saves them time, gives them a chance to see the part before they buy it, and gives us a chance to meet our customers. This way, the customer still gets to pick up his part, and still saves full shipping costs. Seat Foam Wheels (each) Rocker Panels Headliners Trailing Arm Assys
