Shipping and Delivery

At Vehiclethings orders placed by 12 PM. Eastern Time are usually processed the same day. Many of the products we sell are drop shipped directly from warehouses around the country.

Although certain items are kept in stock, some products are custom made to order and require manufacturing time.

Expected ship dates are our best estimate based on past shipping times and are more than 90% accurate. Should an unexpected delay in shipping occur, we will notify you by telephone and e-mail (or letter) of the new projected shipping date and provide you with an opportunity to keep your order or cancel it for a prompt and complete refund.

In-stock items usually ship in 1-2 business days (weekends and holidays are not considered business days).

Please allow an additional 1 to 5 business days after the shipment date for delivery.
