Shipping

Most stock items are shipped from my NJ warehouse via Fedex ground. Delivery times are shown on the map below. Heavy items (compressors, cabinets, etc) will typically be drop-shipped from the manufacturer.

Fedex Ground delivery transit times (from NJ)

Small item orders shipped to residential addresses (ie, under $100 and less than 5 lbs) may be shipped via USPS Priority mail in Flat Rate Boxes. Delivery confirmation tracking is always purchased with these shipments. Higher value orders (typically $300+) will require a direct signature by Fedex upon delivery.

The shipping cost for most US ground shipments, regardless of the number of items, is a fixed $10.00 charge per order (excludes AK, HI, & international). Any additional freight costs (due to heavy or oversized individual items) will be indicated in the item description or disclosed (via phone or email) before your order is processed.

If you live in an apartment complex or location with high risk and/or a history of package theft, a "signature required" shipping option is available for $3.00 additional cost (packages with a value of $500+ will automatically require a signature). This option has become necessary as Fedex and USPS insurance covers damage but not theft.

Air shipment (Overnight, 2nd day, and 3-day Fedex service) is available at additional cost. Shipping cost to Alaska, Hawaii and International addresses will be quoted in advance and applied to your invoice when the order is processed. I will try to use USPS Flat Rate priority boxes when possible to keep the shipping cost to a minimum.

Festool tool and accessory orders over $150 are shipped prepaid freight (FedEx ground) within the 48 Continental states. The $10.00 freight charge will be manually credited to your order when the transaction is processed.

Order Tracking

Since most orders are consolidated and packed by Ultimate Garage in NJ, a FedEx tracking number will typically be generated on the day your order is processed so that you may track your order online (at www.fedex.com). High value items will require an adult signature to verify their delivery.

Damage & Shortage Claims

All damages and shortages must be reported within 72 hours . All original boxes must be retained for carrier inspection of damage claims.

 

 

Returns

I will not accept unauthorized returns. No returns on electrical items, publications or special orders. No returns on USED items. All returns must be in the original packaging and will be subject to a 20% restocking fee. No returns after 30 days*. Freight costs will not be refunded....actual freight costs incurred by Ultimate Garage with the original purchase will be deducted from any refunds. This may be substantially more than the $10 flat rate charged, especially for large, heavy or high value items. Refunds can only be issued against the credit card used for the original purchase.

Festool offers a 30-day money back guarantee on their tools. If you are not completely satisfied, you can return your Festool tool within 30 days of your purchase for any reason. Please contact our office for a return authorization. We will supply you with the correct address for your return. Not all types of returns are to be shipped to the same address – so this is very important. All return items must be in original condition with all tags attached and in original packaging.

*Store Credits - some items returned after 30 days may be eligible for a "store credit" . All store credits must be applied to purchases within the same calendar year. The credit will be considered expired after the end of the year.

Warranty

Most products carry the manufacturer's warranty but the claim must be initiated through Ultimate Garage. Ultimate Garage is NOT responsible for shipping costs or labor reimbursement on items submitted and/or replaced under warranty. Ultimate Garage will NOT warranty or provide technical support for products purchase through a different vendor.

There is no warranty on electrical parts or consumable items (eg, brake pads and rotors) unless they are found to be defective upon receipt (claim must be reported within 7 days of receipt).
