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.
After you choose the parts you want through the shopping cart, you will be asked to fill out all your information (name, address, etc) plus you will be asked questions about your Corvette (year model, transmission type, interior color, etc.) Please be sure to fill out the form completely & include your e-mail address, and telephone number in case there is a question about your order. If you have ordered a part such as an interior item that requires a color choice, we will go by the information on your vehicle information field to determine the color.

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.
If there is a way you prefer or do not prefer that we ship your package, please let us know when you place the order. We can ship most orders to Alaska, Hawaii & Puerto Rico by mail, as long as it is not a high-value shipment, or too heavy. We do not send COD to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Canada or Overseas.
We can ship all orders by mail to APO and FPO addresses (add $5.00 additional handling fee).
Shipping charges will be added to the price of the parts order. We try to ship the most economical, effecient way. If you need exact shipping charges, please call or e-mail us after you place your order and receive your order confirmation via e-mail. We will need your order number.

COD SHIPMENTS:
We prefer to charge orders to credit cards, but COD shipping is available at an additional cost. COD Fee is $11.00 plus shipping. Only a money order or cashier's check can be accepted as COD payment (No Cash or Checks accepted). You MUST be home when UPS delivers and have your money order ready. If someone is usually not home during the day, please do not ask us to ship COD. You may want to do a pre-paid order instead.

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)
We will charge you the appropriate shipping when your order is shipped. Shipping charges depend on the size, weight & value of the package, along with how far it has to travel. We are on the East Coast, so shipping to the Midwest & West Coast will be higher than East Coast shipping. The minimum we charge is $11.95, but if the package is large, or UPS charges extra to ship to your zip code, the shipping will be higher than the minimum. If we can ship your order by Priority Mail, the shipping may be a little less, depending on the weight & how far it has to travel. This chart below is just to get an idea of the shipping charges:

THIS IS AN ESTIMATE ONLY!! RATES CAN VARY DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT OF THE PACKAGE, THE SIZE OF THE PACKAGE, THE NUMBER OF PACKAGES IN THE ORDER, AND HOW FAR THE PACKAGE(S) HAVE TO TRAVEL:
$1-$110           add  $11.95 (Mid West & West Coast Minimum is $12.95)
$111-$399       add  10%
$400-$699      add    8%
$700 & Up       add  7%

(MID WEST, WEST COAST & REMOTE AREAS MAY BE HIGHER)

Shipping insurance is also added to all shipments. Orders under $100 do not require additional insurance. Orders over $100 require a minimum of $2.50 insurance, and usually 1.00 additional per $100. This insures that if the package is lost or damaged during transit, you will receive a replacement.

*Applies to UPS shipments inside continental US Only. PR, AK, Hl & Foreign Extra.

Minimum shipping to most of the country is $11.95, midwest & west coast minimum is $12.95, except for items which must be shipped by truck. If shipping charges are not included with a prepaid order, the order will be shipped freight collect. Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico & foreign orders please call or add at least 20% shipping (sorry, no COD's on these shipments). If you overpay the shipping charges, you will receive credit towards your next order. UPS now charges an additional $3.00-$4.00 fee for "Remote Area Delivery". Your zip code determines if your home is considered "remote" or not. If your zip code is remote, there will be an extra fee. We will try to ship most small packages by Priority Mail to save you the extra fees.

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.

Master card, Visa, Discover & American Express orders will be accepted. Please give us the name on the card, card number, expiration date and security code. We can only ship to the credit card's billing address unless other arrangements have been made.

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.

IN STORE PICKUP
You are welcome to come by our store to pick up your parts. We do ask that you call ahead to make sure we have the parts in stock that you would like to pick up, and to make sure our store is open (please see our "Business Hours" button for closing dates and store hours). Please use our catalog and have a list ready to save us both some time, and if you can, please give us the list a few days ahead of time so we can have your parts set aside.

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.

Most times the charge is about $10 per large item, some may be a little highter.

Parts include, but are not limited to:

Seat Foam                        Wheels (each)           Rocker Panels            Headliners              Trailing Arm Assys          Mounted Seats          Exhaust                       Gas Tanks

 Brake Line Kits              Radiator Supports                    Frt End Kits, etc
78-82 Dash Pads or Caps           Rear Compartment Unit                 Glass T-Tops                           
For parts we do not stock and special orders, full shipping charges will apply (such as fiberglass fenders, front ends, wiring, exhaust kits, and parts listed as Drop ship or Special Order, etc)

If you have any questions about a part you would like to pick up, please call us.
Thank you for your understanding!
