SMITHS SURPLUS
TERMS OF SERVICE
Sales Tax:
Understanding the sales tax policy is important to avoid any surprises at the time of purchase. In New York, retail sales tax is a destination tax, which means that the rate of tax to be collected is determined by the point of delivery or possession transfer. Sales delivered outside the state are exempt from tax.
Product Availability and NSN Numbers:
In case you need a product with a specific National Stock Number (NSN), it is crucial to verify its availability before placing an order. To confirm product availability, please text our customer service line at 845-218-0943 or email [email protected]
Please be aware that orders placed without prior confirmation of product availability run the risk of not being fulfilled. If we are unable to fulfill the order due to lack of stock, your order will be cancelled and refunded according to our Refund Policy.
Your understanding and cooperation in this aspect are highly appreciated, as this policy helps us maintain a smooth and efficient order fulfillment process.
Shipping:
Our order processing time is within 2 business days. Orders placed from Friday through Sunday will be queued for shipping on the subsequent Monday, in the sequence they were received. During times of high demand, you might experience a minor delay in your order’s shipment. If this happens, please anticipate a slight extension in the delivery period.
However, we cannot guarantee a specific delivery time frame, as unforeseen events such as weather, mechanical issues, or pandemic-related causes may cause delays. Please note that some items may come from multiple stores or manufacturers, and may arrive in separate packages. Tracking numbers are emailed to customers upon shipping, but may take up to 24 hours to post from the time of pickup. For more information, please refer to our Shipping Policy.
Returns:
We want our customers to be satisfied with their purchases. If for any reason you are not happy with your purchase, we accept unused items back within 14 days, provided that they are in the same condition as when received, with all parts/components in resalable condition. Please make sure that all packaging is included. In the event that items are used, damaged, or not resalable, we may not be able to offer a refund. For more details, please see our full return policy.
Refunds:
At Smith’s Surplus and Supply, we want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you need to return an item, we’ll gladly refund your original form of payment within 3 business days of receiving your return at our facility.
Orders placed without confirming availability of NSN specific orders / products and we have to cancel the order due to non-availability, any related credit card processing fees and potential shipping charges that have already been incurred (such as when a shipping label has been purchased) will be deducted from the refund.
Please keep in mind that for general order cancellations or changes of heart, refund will have credit card processing fees and any shipping charges deducted from the balance where applicable. Note that it may take up to 10 business days for your financial institution to process the refund, based on their policies. Additionally, a 50% restocking fee may apply in certain circumstances.
We, unfortunately, have no control over your financial institution’s policies and cannot act as an intermediary between you and them. Hence, we advise customers to adhere to our NSN product ordering guidelines and ensure to cancel their orders before a shipping label is purchased.
For any queries or concerns about our Returns and Cancellations Policy, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always ready to assist!
