** DO NOT assume that we know all your details or what you want done with your ECM/PROM/Memcal/etc. We get a ton of calls and emails in a day. Provide your info with your shipment or you risk delay in return shipping. **
INCLUDE IN BOX:
• Vehicle Info:
• Vehicle Year/Make/Model/Engine Size/VIN
• List of Programming-Related Modifications to your vehicle (or any you're planning to do in the near future)
• If we've corresponded via email, include a printed copy
• Contact/Billing/Shipping Info:
• Name, Billing Address, Shipping Address (if different), Phone Number, and Email Address for tracking information
• If items arrive without this information, your order may face major delays!
PACK IT UP:
• Pack up your ECM / PROM / MEMCAL etc. with the above vehicle info included in a sturdy box making sure that it will travel safely. Sometimes packages arrived and they look a bit rough. Protect your property!
SHIP IT:
• Choose a method to send the package to us.
• We receive via Loomis, Purolator, USPS, UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc.
• Make sure you are able to track your package! Most methods provide a tracking number but be sure! We will not be held responsible for lost items.
• SHIPPING VIA COURIER:
• Do NOT Ship anything via "Ground" or "Surface". These methods will end up costing you more as we usually incur charges from the Canadian Border (Duty, Brokerage, Taxes, etc.) We bill these charges back to you and it may end up costing you more than the Air services you should have gone with in the first place.
• SHIPPING VIA POST OFFICE:
• Do NOT ship anything via "Standard" or "Non-Priority". These methods usually take 4-6 weeks and they are usually not traceable. There is a higher possibility that your computer may be lost (especially if there's no tracking number).
• Always check with your Post Office for the best way to ship for your area. You can also check the options online at www.usps.com.
• Insurance: You may insure your parcel if you'd like. All parcels are automatically insured for $100 when sending via Priority (check with your Post Office to be sure). However, if you are concerned about it being lost in the mail, you can insure the parcel for the price of replacing the ECM. Just know that if you place too high a value, we may incur charges and these will be billed back to you. See Customs Info below.
