Shipping & Returns Policy

 

Carrier, Service & Transit Times

  • We ship products across the United States using ground shipping.
  • Our default carrier for small packages is UPS, and ARI exclusively uses its own UPS account.
  • Transit time for ground shipping is typically 1 to 5 working days within the contiguous 48 states.
  • Express shipping is available; customers must contact customer service for pricing.
  • Shipping times for motor freight vary by carrier, workload, and location.

 

Order Processing

  • We attempt to ship orders placed by 10 am on the same business day whenever possible.
    Orders placed after 10 am are typically shipped the next business day.
  • Shipments are subject to inventory constraints, and customers will be notified of
    delays.
  • Turnaround times for equipment and parts orders are provided on a case-by-case
    basis.

 

Costs and Fees

  • Freight costs vary based on the item's weight, dimensions, and shipping method.
  • Carriers may impose extra charges for remote locations, oversized boxes, or
    shipments exceeding 50 pounds.
  • For detailed information on freight charges, contact your customer service representative.

 

Customer Responsibilities & Liability

  • Customers are responsible for the full replacement and shipping costs if they provide incorrect delivery information.
  • You must inspect all shipments for physical damage before finalizing the delivery receipt.
  • To file a damage claim, you must note any damage or refusal on the driver's paperwork.
  • ARI will not be responsible for damaged items if the damage is not noted upon
    acceptance.
  • After delivery, unbox and check all items and promptly contact customer service if the item is incorrect, damaged, or malfunctioning.
  • ARI is not responsible for shipping delays or lost shipments caused by the carrier.

Returns

  • We will accept returns in the event of our error in fulfillment.  In these cases we will send a RMA tag from customer service and process the correct item.
  • In the event of customer's error any returns will incur a 25% restocking fee and freight at the customer's expense.
  • Open packaging of consumable items will not be accepted in most cases so please check your order and delivery carefully upon receipt.
