• Q - How long after I place an order will it take to ship ?

• A - Depends. If the products you order are in stock, they will usually ship within 2 business days after payment confirmation. If the products you order are not in stock, they will ship within 2 business days after we receive them, unless the order is drop-shipped directly from the manufacturer. Either way, we will notify you by e-mail of the delay, and e-mail you when your order ships. Shipping times DO NOT include this processing time. Actual time in transit depends on the shipping carrier, type of service chosen, weather conditions, and on your location. Shipping times are based on when the product is picked up from us by the carrier, and does not include the processing time to get your order ready to ship. Please note theat Dirty Parts, Inc. reserves the right to use an alternate shipping carrier if issues arise due to shipping location issues, or expedite shipping time for your order.

• A - No. Products that are not regular stocking items, or products that normally require truck freight will still incur shipping charges, even if you opt to pick them up at our store. Usually, the charges are much lower than having those same items shipped directly to you. Any additional shipping charges will be due when you come in to receive your order. If you have any questions about whether or not the products you order will have shipping charges added when you choose to pick them up at our store, call us before you place your order.

In some cases, there are additional items are shown to give a better idea of the function or placement of the listed product, but these items are not included with the product. And while we try to be as accurate and descriptive as possible, errors occur on occasion, too. If you have concerns about a specific product, such as how it looks, or what it includes, please contact us before you place an order. Orders are based on the product's specific part number, not on the general description or pictured representation. We are available to assist you, but you are responsible for what you order.

•

• Q - Who do I contact with questions regarding a product's warranty ?

• A - Depends. Most products sold by Dirty Parts have a conditional or limited warranty provided by the product's manufacturer. Products sold under the "Dirty Parts" brand name have a warranty directly with us. You can contact us to inquire about a product's warranty, or you can contact the manufacturer directly. Warranty conditions and coverage vary by product and manufacturer. Dirty Parts can assist you in obtaining warranty service, but Dirty Parts does not provide the warranty service - that is the responsibility of the product's manufacturer, and subject to their conditions. Obtaining warranty service on a product usually will require the consumer to show proof of purchase for the product, demonstrate that they meet any other warranty conditions put forth by the product manufacturer. Shipping costs to return the product for warranty consideration are usually the consumer's responsibility. Be aware that a consumer who makes the decision to modify his vehicle with aftermarket components of any kind will assume all risk and responsibility for potential damages incurred as a result of their chosen modifications. Warranty coverage does not include consumer opinions regarding ride comfort, fitment and design, or any product that has been modified by the consumer without the manufacturer's advanced written consent. Contact us if you have a question or concern about the specific warranty on a product, or want to know what is required to obtain warranty service on a particular product
