Stock Status:  
If we have stock in our Oklahoma facility stock status will show a number.  If stock status says "See shipping info. tab"  then we do not have sufficient stock level in our main warehouse.  However, we have access to over 20 distribution warehouses across the country, with our main suppliers delivering shipments to us the next business day.  In the event that you order an item that we are out of stock, we make every attempt to bring in your item the next business day for reshipment.  This will normally only delay your order by 1-2 business days.  If we can't supply the item because our vendors are also out of stock we will contact you by phone or email.

If stock level shows to be less that what you require, please order as many items as you need and we can normally fill the order within a few days or will contact you if sufficient stock is not available from our suppliers

ENGINE SHIPPING:
We stock the most popular fast moving engines, but often we can't keep up with demand or have them arriving daily for reshipment.  For many brands, we can ship direct from the manufacturers warehouse to you, this will speed shipment time.  We will contact you if there is a supply issue, otherwise you can expect you engine to arrive in 2-7 business days depending on your location.  We do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii.   

Do you need a commercial address for engine delivery?  
This is how it works:

Engines showing stock level of 1 or more: No commercial address needed.

Engines not in stock in our Oklahoma warehouse as follows:

Honda: No commercial address needed. Shipped UPS or Fedex Ground
Briggs & Stratton: No commercial address needed. Shipped UPS or Fedex Ground. Except 3-cylinder or 30hp and larger Vanguard.

Kawasaki: Commercial address required for truckline shipment, except small frame engines below 7 hp.
Kohler: Commercial address required for truckline shipment, except for small frame engines below 10 hp.

Commercial Address Required:  This means we can't ship to your home, home based business, church, farm, school, prison or any other facility with limited access.  The business needs to be open normal business hours Monday - Friday.  Truckline shipments normally take 2-5 business days depending on your location.  They do not call in advance since there should always be someone at the place of business.  Examples are:

• Lumber Yard
• Auto Parts Store
• Shipping Warehouse
• Lawnmower Shop
• Auto Repair Shop

If you are not able to locate a commercial shipping address, please give us a call and we may be able to arrange shipment to a truckline dock in your area. 

PARTS :

Note:  Please provide a shipping address that is valid for USPS OR UPS. If orders are small and light, we normally use USPS Priority Mail for faster service times.  If over 3-5 lbs, we would normally use UPS or Fedex.   Also note:  In the event we do not have sufficient stock, or our inventory level was wrong, we will bring in extra inventory to reship your order the next business day.  We may also choose to ship large orders from multiple warehouses to speed up delivery time.   

******* Due to Factory & Vendor territories and EPA laws, we do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or any country outside the US.  These orders will be cancelled and refund issued.
