Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ’s):
General
Information
- What
happens after I place an order? - When your order is placed on the
web site, you will see ‘Congratulations on your completed order’ page, which
will have an Item Summery for Order ID on it. This is confirmation that your
order has successfully been placed. You will receive a checkout complete
message via e-mail shortly after we receive your order. If you do not receive
this message within six hours of placing your order, there might be a delay on
the Web due to traffic. If this happens, please feel free to contact us via
email at sales@bargainsdelivered.com to ensure that your order is being
processed.
- What if I
need to cancel or change an order? - Our first priority is to ensure
that your items are shipped in a timely manner. When an order is accepted by
the system, the order is sent to the warehouse for processing. Because of
this, we may not be able to adjust an order after it has been submitted. If
your order has not already been delivered, or is not on its way to being
delivered, we may be able to cancel it. If your order has already been
processed on the shipment floor or sent out for delivery we will be unable to
cancel it.
- Will
you take "X" dollars for this, is this price negotiable, or will you ship it
free? - We offer
fair prices on all products, and shipping discounts are built into the
shipping flat rate or calculator when possible. In order to continue to offer
our customers a high level of service and exciting new product lines, we can
not negotiate prices or shipping rates.
- Can I
combine multiple promotions? If a special promotion/coupon is
offered, it is not combinable with any other offers. To receive the
promotion, all items must be on the same order shipping to the same location
purchased.
- Do
you offer Gift Message or Gift Wrapping - I’m sorry, we do not offer this
service. Some items are actually shipped in the manufacturer box which may
reveal the contents on an outer picture or wording on the manufacturer box.
This may not be covered up.
- Do
items have a manufacturer warranty? - Most manufacturers offer some
type of warranty against defects in workmanship. Warranties will vary by each
manufacturer/product and the manufacturer would be responsible for any
warranty issues. Please save all original packaging for the entire length of
the warranty. If a warranty issue arises, surcharges may be applied if
original packaging is not available for some
manufacturers.
- Will
the item be the exact color as in the photograph? - Photos are for informational
purposes only. With any product, the color may appear slightly different based
on monitor settings on a computer, the lighting/setting for the
photograph, etc. The majority of the photos we use come directly from the
manufacturer of the product.
- What
happens if my item is affected by a backorder? - In the rare event a product
becomes unavailable/backordered/discontinued, or we have made a mistake in the
listing, we may cancel the order, issue a refund and an apology. Backorders
are rare, but can occur from time to time. In the case when an item is on
backorder, we will notify you about the wait time via email and
let you decide if you want to wait or a full refund for your order. A
substitute item may be offered as well. The manufacturers typically maintain
stock on their items; however, there are times when things run out for various
reasons beyond our control. We do our best to verify availability, and to
notify you of any delays that would affect the processing of your order as
soon as possible.
Payment
Information
- What
methods of payment do you accept? - We accept Visa, MasterCard,
American Express, Discover, and PayPal. We do not take checks or accept
purchase orders.
- If
paying by a credit card, does this have to be shipped to my billing
address? - Yes,
all orders paid by credit card are required to ship to the billing address for
transaction security. Your billing address must be a physical street
address. This is to help protect you as a consumer and our company
against fraudulent transactions. Your credit card statement should reflect
charges from Bargains Delivered.
- Is
PayPal accepted?
- Yes we do accept PayPal. We do ship to the address PayPal provides so please
make sure your account information is up to date prior to purchase. You cannot
change your PayPal shipping address from our checkout. You must do this prior
to checkout and issuing your payment. Your PayPal account must be registered in the same country as the ship
to location. PayPal only allows one country address per PayPal
account.
- How
can an item be shipped to an alternate address? – Please use PayPal and select
that alternate address from your account when sending payment. PayPal payments
can be funded with a credit card.
- Do
you charge sales tax? - We are required to collect sales
tax for all shipments to Missouri and some to California. If your state requires the
payment of use tax on out-of-state purchases, then that is the
buyer's responsibility. Sales tax would be added during the
checkout process
- When
will my credit card be charged? - We will attempt to secure
authorization on your credit card at the point of purchase online. If there is
a problem securing this authorization you will be notified with an error
message and prompted to use another card or update with the correct
information. If we receive verification of sufficient funds, your order will
be completed and transferred to us to for order
processing.
- If my
credit card was declined in checkout, will I be charged? - If a credit card is declined,
we do not receive any payments from that transaction. Declined
is Declined. You may see an "authorization” attempt or ‘pending hold’
on your account but that is not an actual charge and it will not post
to your account. Authorizations or Pending holds come about because banks
and credit card companies hold funds for online transactions while they verify
information in order to determine whether or not to approve the
transaction. If the transaction was declined by your bank or the credit
card company, the hold will come off your statement in accordance with the
policies established by your bank or Credit Card Company. A pending
authorization may have been issued by the card company to attempt a
charge, however, if the credit card processor detects an issue with the
information sent to us in checkout it declines the card. It takes
the credit card company a few days to process this and it’s completely out of
our control.
- Why
was my credit card declined? - Common reasons for a card to be
declined would include; wrong credit card number, invalid exp date, invalid
security code (3 or 4 digit number), or the billing address does not match
what is on file with your card company.
Shipment
Information
- What is
the shipping rate? Please refer to the item
description page. At the top is says Shipping in Continental United States,
This rate is for the first item. The rate shown does not mean all items you
order will ship for just that rate. Please use the shipping calculator
provided in the item page for other quantities of that same item. You can add item(s) to the shopping
cart and enter your information for rates or email us with your shipment
information.
- Will
all orders be shipped from Missouri? - We are based out of Missouri, but we
utilize many distributions centers throughout the country. The shipping
locations will vary for each product. Products may be shipped from multiple
locations, thus you may receive part of your order first, and then others
later. Upon receiving first part of your order, we recommend you can wait for
a day or two before checking with us for the status of the remaining part of
your order or refer to the
order shipment email.
- How
will my order be shipped? - We use many methods of shipping
and will select the most reliable method for your item(s). Carriers may be
substituted with FedEx, UPS, or USPS at our discretion and will require a
physical street address for delivery. Customers are unable to specify the
carrier of their choice as it is determined internally depending on the item's
weight and dimension, etc. For items that ship Freight, FedEx, or UPS a
physical street address is required. The majority of our items will ship one
of these carriers. Typically only smaller items like playing cards or OTCs may
be sent USPS.
- Do you
offer overnight or rush shipping? - Over night shipping is not
available on any items. We do our best to have orders processed ASAP and when
the order has shipped, an email will be sent with tracking so you can look on
the carrier’s website for an ETA.
- Can I
pick up an item to avoid shipping costs? - Pick up is not available for
any item. All items must be shipped.
- Can I
enter multiple shipping addresses for an order? - Our website is designed to
accept only one shipping address per order.
- What
if my package arrives damaged/defective? - If the package has obvious
damage and if possible, please refuse delivery or sign for it as damaged. If
the package is just left or damage is not noticed until opened, please save
all packing materials and email us immediately with photos. Carriers have time
limits on when claims can be filed. Please provide details on the issue and
send photos. This will help us better assist you. We can file an
insurance claim with the carrier if necessary. The carrier may inspect the
item. We may need digital images and a signed affidavit. Your cooperation is
required. Some items that can be repaired on-site and will not be grounds for
a return. Defects are very rare and are handled on a case by case basis. These
may be repaired or replaced at the manufactures discretion.
- What
happens if my item is lost in transit? - We insure all packages. In
the event of a loss, you will be required to work with us so we can file
a claim on your behalf. For Domestic orders we cannot file a claim until 21
days have passed from the shipment date and for International
packages it is 45 days from the shipment date. A signed affidavit is
required for refunds or reshipments. If an item is sent FedEx, UPS, DHL, or
freight, the carrier will attempt to do a trace on a package first which can
take a few days. If they cannot locate the package a claim can then be filed.
Please be patient and work with us during this process. Loss packages are very
rare from our experience.
- Where
is my order/when will I receive it? - When your order ships, you will
automatically receive an email with shipment information. Most
domestic orders ship within 3 full business days (M-F, excluding
holidays) and usually arrive within 5-10 business days. At the moment, we
do not offer rush shipment. If item is affected by a shipping delay, you
will be notified via email. International orders (when available) usually
take 3-4 weeks, but depend on the post office and your country's customs
department. Customs can hold packages for inspections which add time to
delivery which we have no control over. Please have a current email
when checking out to receive important order information. Tracking is for US
orders only.
- Do
you ship internationally? - We only send items like playing
cards, OTC’s, and bathroom dispensers internationally to certain countries. If
the shipping calculator does not provide a rate, it means we do not ship that
item to the specified country. We highly recommend that international
customers choose USPS Priority Mail when shipment is available to your
location. Please check with your customs office before purchase for
importation restrictions and customs charges. Customer may be charged
additional customs, taxes, duties, brokerage, or importation fees by their
country at delivery. These additional charges are not included in our items
price or shipping charges. We have no control or knowledge of what these may
be ahead of time. We fill out all customs forms accurately and will not mark
any item as a 'gift'. Please review our international shipping guide as a
reference. http://reviews.ebay.com/International-Shipping_W0QQugidZ10000000009176851
- Do
you ship to Alaska, Hawaii, PO Boxes,
APO/FPO or territories? - Because many of our items are
large and oversized, shipment outside the Contiguous United States may
not be available. Please understand if we cannot ship the product to you.
Carrier restrictions prevent most items from being shipped to Hawaii, Alaska APO/FPO, Territories, and PO boxes. Most times items are too large or expensive to
ship to those locations. Please check prior to purchase
by contacting us via email regarding shipments outside the
Contiguous United States. Additional charges will apply if available.
Most items are shipped via FedEx or UPS ground. Larger items may be sent
freight. Ground services and Freight must ship to a physical street
address. FedEx/UPS and freight companies cannot deliver to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses.

Information:

is your return policy on unused, unopened merchandise? - In most cases, unused and
unopened merchandise may be returned when requested in writing via
email within 30 days, but the customer is responsible for all
shipping costs incurred and a restocking fee. See policies for return
information. Certain items are not returnable. We reserve the right to refuse
