Shipping Information — Page 1

Most in-stock orders ship within 1-2 business days. Unless otherwise requested, Uncle Mike's LE ships via insured UPS Ground FREE of charge on most orders over $49 for which the destination is within the contiguous 48 states.

Uncle Mike's LE allows you to use UPS or USPS express shipping methods for faster delivery. Please note that orders requesting expedited shipping are exempt from our Free Shipping Offer. For more information, please review our domestic shipping options.

While most products are shipped at no additional cost, there are exceptions. Items above our carriers’ weight limits (UPS>150 lbs. and USPS>70 lbs.) and exceeding maximum size restrictions are assessed a shipping charge and must be transported via Motor Freight. Products exempt from our Free Shipping Offer indicate so on their respective product pages. You are always notified when shipping charges apply prior to the fulfillment of an order. Please note that Uncle Mike's LE reserves the right to upgrade the selected shipping method on an order at no additional cost to you. In addition, there are no handling fees unless displayed on specific product pages. Items containing hazardous materials or requiring extra care are subject to special handling fees, change in shipping method and possible exceptions to our Return Policy.

The following domestic shipping options via UPS and USPS are currently available:

Unfortunately, at this time, Uncle Mike's LE is unable to accept any orders shipping to any destination outside of the 50 U.S. States.

Reminder:

Guaranteed delivery does not apply when a package is delayed due to adverse weather conditions or other activity beyond our control. There are no credits issued if such activity or circumstances change the estimated arrival time of an order.

Estimated times of arrival do not include order processing times and only indicate when a product is to arrive after leaving our warehouse. Therefore, please allow 1-2 business days for all in-stock items to ship from Uncle Mike's LE in addition to the estimated times of delivery.

In addition, although Uncle Mike's LE makes every effort to guarantee timely delivery on all orders, Uncle Mike's LE assumes no liability in cases where shipment is delayed due to circumstances beyond our control. Furthermore, Uncle Mike's LE assumes no liability when customers fail to properly communicate shipping information.

Yes. Both UPS and USPS provide Saturday delivery as an option for our customers.

UPS Saturday delivery orders incur an additional $15 fee in addition to the expedited freight charges. Please note that UPS Saturday delivery is available only with UPS Next Day Air orders containing in-stock items placed on Fridays before 12 P.M. Central Standard Time (CST) and UPS 2nd Day Air orders placed before 12 P.M. CST on Thursday. For phone orders, please approve all Saturday delivery fees with the Uncle Mike's LE Representative. For online orders, you must note authorization of all fees and denote Saturday delivery in the notes.

Reminder:

If an expedited order for UPS does not reference a Saturday delivery, the shipment will arrive the following week.

USPS delivers orders on Saturdays to certain locations at no additional fee. For USPS, there is no differentiation between Saturday and any other business day. Therefore, you cannot choose Saturday Delivery on USPS orders nor does USPS guarantee Saturday delivery.

Tracking provides detailed progress of packages while in transit to their destination.An automated email is sent with a UPS or USPS tracking/delivery confirmation number upon shipment. To check the status of an order, please view our Order Status Page.

UPS Package Tracking

All UPS orders are traceable on our UPS tracking page or directly on the UPS website. To track a package on the UPS site, just enter the UPS tracking number in the "Enter Tracking Number" box and select "Submit". UPS scans each package and updates the tracking number with the latest information at each checkpoint. The status of the package displays where the shipment is and, if received, who signed for it (if available) and the time of delivery. Please note, for most orders, that it might take up to 24-48 hours for the first scan to show on the UPS website.

USPS Package Tracking

All USPS packages are traceable on the USPS site. Please note that a USPS delivery confirmation number is not the same as a UPS tracking number. Instead, the USPS delivery confirmation number’s primary purpose is to confirm the arrival of a package to the recipient. Therefore, a USPS delivery confirmation number is not updated as frequently as a UPS tracking number. Once the package arrives, USPS updates the website to reflect receipt, including the time of the delivery and location provided.

Contact us if any help is needed with tracking an order.

Yes. Please contact us immediately to request a delivery intercept. All successful intercepts are subject to a $12 fee per tracking number (plus any transportation charges).

UPS can fulfill four types of delivery intercepts:

1. Return to Sender: The return of the shipment to Uncle Mike's LE for a refund or exchange
2. Deliver to Another Address: Rerouting the package to a new address for delivery

   Reminder:

   As PayPal requires confirmation of all addresses, the "Deliver to Another Address" option is not available for orders paid via Paypal. As an alternative, please be sure to cancel the order prior to shipment and place a new order either online or by phone with the updated information included. Please note that once a PayPal order ships, we are unable to change the routing of a package.

3. Will Call: Holding the package for the consignee at the nearest UPS location for pickup
4. Reschedule Delivery: Holding the package for delivery on a future date up to 5 business days from the original business date

Note:

To avoid a fee using the Will Call/Reschedule Delivery option, you can institute a Delivery Change Request. This option allows UPS to alter the original delivery instructions for the shipment only after the first delivery attempt. Just dial 1-800-PICK-UPS and ask for a Delivery Change Request from a representative. For example, if you are unable to sign for a package requiring a signature, you can instigate a Delivery Change Request. This allows you to pick up the package at the nearest UPS facility or to reschedule a delivery for a future date within 5 business days from the originally scheduled delivery date. All Delivery Change Requests must be completed by the customer and only after the first driver attempt at delivery. Additionally, you can refuse a delivery of any package at no charge. To refuse a package, you need to be home at the time of delivery and advise the UPS driver accordingly. Please note that original shipping charges are not refunded if a package is refused in cases where a receiver is no longer willing to pursue an order.

Delivery intercepts and delivery change requests are never guaranteed and are available for domestic UPS orders only. However, we only charge your account for a successfully completed intercept. To avoid the necessity of an intercept, check the address before finalizing an order and be available when the package arrives. For the cancellation of orders, please contact us prior to shipment.

Contact us within 30 days of receipt if a package arrives with an item not in the order or the product does not work properly. We will gladly exchange the unwanted item for a suitable replacement. When this occurs, Uncle Mike's LE furnishes a UPS prepaid shipping label to our customers to cover all return shipping charges.

To receive a UPS prepaid label:

1. Please generate a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Number. No return or exchange is accepted without a RMA Number.

2. Contact us immediately with detailed information about the source of the issue.

3. A prepaid label is sent from UPS to your e-mail address within 1-2 business days with instructions on proceeding.

Reminder:

Customers are required to fill out a RMA before a label is sent. Please do NOT return product without a UPS prepaid label. No refunds are issued if a customer requests reimbursement for return shipping charges without contacting Uncle Mike's LE for a prepaid return label first or when a prepaid shipping label was provided.

Upon receipt of a completed RMA and a request for a prepaid label, an e-mail is sent to the account provided at the time of ordering with a prepaid shipping label for all items under $1,000. Print out this label, attach it to your box and drop it off at the nearest UPS facility. Uncle Mike's LE issues a call tag for items over $1,000. When a call tag is issued, a UPS truck will make three attempts to physically pick up the package from your ship to address provided at the time of ordering.

Note:

Labels are sent via e-mail by UPS. If you have not received a label as expected, please ensure that the e-mail was not filtered by checking your Spam folder. If the prepaid label still is not received, please contact us.

When the product returns to Uncle Mike's LE, our Returns department will process the RMA in accordance with our Return Policy. Upon inspection, if we determine that the item is not defective, broken, incorrect or that the customer misused the merchandise, Uncle Mike's LE will charge the customer’s account the return shipping fees.

Uncle Mike's LE requires our carriers to acquire a Signature Confirmation for certain orders. In addition, drivers may require a signature when delivering to certain locations. In some cases, you may be unavailable to sign for the package when the carrier arrives. When this occurs, you can institute a Delivery Change Request after the first delivery attempt. For specific information on completing a Delivery Change Request, please read the section about re-routing a package.

Uncle Mike's LE partners with only the most reliable carriers and apologizes for any delays caused by lost or damaged packages. We immediately work on shipping errors with our carriers and most claims are resolved within two weeks from initiation to ensure that you are completely satisfied.

Lost UPS Packages:

Contact us immediately if the tracking number has no scans for over 48 hours. In addition, contact us if UPS shows a package as delivered that is not in your possession to initiate a claim. Once Uncle Mike's LE opens a claim, UPS may contact the customer within 1-8 business days for more information. UPS also may conduct a detailed investigation in cases of possible mail tampering and postal fraud. Full cooperation is imperative in order to quickly and effectively resolve such issues.

Upon a favorable claim resolution, Uncle Mike's LE may initiate a replacement order and sends an e-mail to the account with the new tracking number once the product has left our warehouse. If an in-stock replacement item is requested prior to a claim resolution, your credit card will be billed and a refund is only instituted once the lost claim is approved by UPS.

Contact us immediately if the original shipment arrives prior to the resolution of the claim. If the original package arrives at a future date after the delivery of the replacement, contact us immediately for a pickup at our expense. Keeping this delivery will result in the customer billed for both the original shipment and the replacement order.

Damaged UPS Packages:

Upon receipt, please inspect the order for any evidence of damage and do not sign for a package without fully inspecting the contents. If there is visible damage to the box, the merchandise or items are missing, kindly refuse the package.

If a package was partially accepted, please denote which item(s) were refused. Reseal the shipment and hold on to the original packaging materials for a possible UPS inspection. It is vital that you hold onto the package for up to 30 days. Please do not send the damaged package back to Uncle Mike's LE as this will result in a denied claim and you will be responsible for all associated costs. If no inspection occurs, you can discard the shipment after the 30 days expire.
