How much does shipping cost?
We use the UPS calculator provided by UPS to determine our shipping prices. These rates come directly from UPS and are calculated based on the weight of the item(s) ordered and distance between us and you. The minimum shipping charge via UPS is $6.00. In the checkout process, you will be shown your total including estimated shipping before you are asked to give your credit card information.
If I Place My Order Today, When Will I Receive It?
Please allow up to 48 hours (two weekdays) for processing AFTER you place your order before it will ship. After processing time, shipping time will be based on the delivery option you selected. Ground ship times vary and do not have a guaranteed delivery date. For example, an order for 3 day shipping will take 3-5 days (including processing time) to get to you. If you need your order in less than 2 days or by a specific deadline , please contact customer service to see if it’s possible for us to deliver your order in time. 314-621-3660 (11am-6pm CST)
What is your return/exchange policy?
You can return an item, except sale items, VHS, DVDs, books and lecture notes, for up to 10 days for full refund or credit (shipping fees are not refundable). The merchandise must be in sellable condition upon receipt. We cannot accept returned merchandise that is damaged, clearly worn, or the instructions stained or torn. Open shrink wrapping/plastic bags are acceptable.
No item can be returned without prior authorization. You must contact Gibbols and obtain a return authorization code. All unauthorized returns will be refused. All returns must have a RAN # (Return Authorization Number) clearly printed on the outside of the box. A RAN can be obtained by calling us at: phone 314-621-3660. All refunds are subject to inspection and will be issued at Gibbols discretion only.
Books, CD, DVD, VHS and lecture notes are non-refundable. In fairness to those who have purchased such information from us or others and who rely on this secret knowledge in their performances, we are very careful about protecting the secrets of all authors. For this reason we can not accept returns of VHS and DVD; except if a product is found faulty in materials or workmanship will be replaced upon return of the faulty item, in which case you MUST HAVE PRIOR AUTHORIZATION from Gibbols before attempting to return merchandise. Any unauthorized returns will be refused by our receiving department and returned to the sender.
-
If an item was shipped in error or is defective, you may ship the item back. If the claim is allowed, a full refund will be issued including shipping. Shipping times are not guaranteed and Gibbols will not issue refunds for late deliveries. All refunds are subject to inspection and will be issued at Gibbols discretion only.
-
Some items cannot be returned. These items include: Special Orders, VHS, DVDs, books and lecture notes.
Please note - that all returns must be sent via a traceable method. If you mail your return, it must have delivery confirmation on it. It is your (the customer’s) responsibility to insure the returned item(s) in the event of loss or damage. Orders returned via mail without a delivery confirmation are considered unauthorized returns; and Gibbols will not be responsible for refunding these returned items, if there is no way to confirm receipt in our warehouse.
