What's Included & Excluded
Free shipping is straightforward. To keep it that way, here's what qualifies and what doesn't.
| Qualifies for Free Shipping | Does NOT Qualify |
|---|---|
| Orders over $70 | Orders under $70 |
| UPS Ground service only | Expedited tiers (Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, 3-Day Service) |
| Lower 48 states | Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, international |
| Standard parcel-eligible items | LTL freight items, oversized parts, wheel-and-tire combos |
If your cart contains an LTL freight item, an oversized part, or a wheel-and-tire combo, shipping charges for those items are calculated at checkout. The rest of your cart can still qualify for free shipping if it crosses $70.
Order Cutoff & Same-Day Shipping
Most orders containing items listed as "In Stock" ship the same day if placed by 12 PM PST / 3 PM EST on a weekday. Orders that need additional verification (security review, address mismatch, etc.) may take longer to process.
Items listed as "On Order" or "Out of Stock" ship by the estimated date shown on the product page. Estimated dates are not guaranteed and can change. Our customer service team monitors backorders daily to push your order out as soon as possible.
Transit Times
Once your order ships, transit time depends on the carrier and the service level you selected. Most carriers do not deliver on weekends or major holidays, and "business days" excludes those.
| Service | Typical Transit | Free Shipping? |
|---|---|---|
| UPS Ground | 3 to 5 business days | Yes (orders over $70 to lower 48) |
| UPS 3-Day Service | 3 business days | No (paid expedited) |
| UPS 2nd Day Air | 2 business days | No (paid expedited) |
| UPS Next Day Air | 1 business day | No (paid expedited) |
Expedited tier delivery time is guaranteed only on items currently "In Stock." Drop-shipped or backordered items ship as soon as they become available.
Expedited Shipping
Need parts faster? Call us at (623) 434-5277. We can ship via UPS Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, or 3-Day Service for an additional charge.
Expedited shipping is not available online and cannot be added to free-shipping orders. You must call to set it up.
Out-of-Stock & Backordered Orders
If your order contains an item labeled "On Order," "Call for Availability," or "Out of Stock," we hold the order and ship the item as soon as it arrives.
- Stage 3 may split a single order into multiple shipments without notification, when doing so gets your in-stock items to you faster. Splits happen automatically only when both shipments still qualify for free shipping.
- If you want your order split voluntarily because of a backordered item, contact our sales team before placing your order. Voluntary splits may add shipping charges if either shipment falls below $70.
Billing vs Shipping Address
If your shipping address is different from your billing address, your order requires additional verification and may be delayed. Allow extra time for fulfillment when shipping to an alternate address. Questions about an address verification: contact our sales team.
Damaged or Lost Shipments
If your shipment arrives damaged or never arrives at all, contact [email protected] immediately. For damage claims, include:
- Photos of the outer shipping packaging
- Photos of the damaged part(s)
- Your original Stage 3 order number in the subject line
Do not discard any boxes or packaging materials. Carriers require the original packaging to process a claim. Stage 3 is not liable for claims denied due to discarded packaging or other customer error.
All damaged or missing parts must be reported within 7 business days of delivery.
Shipping Insurance
Optional shipping insurance is available at checkout for an additional 3% of your order total. Insurance protects you against lost, stolen, or damaged items in transit.
- To file a claim, email [email protected] with your original Stage 3 order number in the subject line.
- Customer Service must be notified within 5 days of the delivery date.
- Allow up to 5 business days for claim review.
- Approved claims ship a replacement part within 1 to 3 business days.
- Approved claims are resolved with replacement parts, not refunds.
- Shipping insurance does not cover delayed shipping.
- Replacement orders from approved claims are not eligible for return or credit.
Tracking Numbers
Tracking numbers are emailed once your order has been processed and shipped. If an item ships directly from the manufacturer (drop ship), a tracking number may not be automatically issued. If you need tracking on a drop-shipped item, email [email protected] and we'll request one.
Apartment & PO Box Restrictions
If you provide an apartment, multi-unit complex, condominium, or townhome address as your shipping destination, this is at your own risk. Stage 3 Motorsports is not liable for packages that go missing or are stolen at multi-unit deliveries.
Stage 3 does not ship to PO Box or APO/FPO addresses. Please use a physical street address at checkout.
