Note that most 'Kits' are made to order and can take up to a week to prepare. You will notified when your order ships. If you're in a hurry you can pay for EMS shipping on my Shipping Page. EMS orders are prepared asap (2-3 days).
NOTE: There is no minimum order but orders under $5 pay extra shipping!
CUSTOM? There is a place at checkout to leave any custom notes. Please use this to remind me of anything we discussed in E-Mail.
WHAT BIKE? I would really appreciate you letting me know what bike the order is for in the checkout comment section.
Regular Shipping:
Minimum Order: It's not possible for me to set a minimum order value, so I have adjusted low order totals to a high shipping percentage rate. Not only does the shipping cost me a minimum of $1.50, but a shipping box costs $0.35 and Paypal takes a minimum of $0.40 for each order. I have therefore set the shipping charges for orders under $5 to ridiculously high rates. Please do not make orders below $5.
Large Orders: All orders over $150 (total not including shipping) will ship via EMS, for the cost of regular shipping. Smaller orders cost extra to ship via EMS, see below for rates.
Heated Gear: Shipping costs on heated gear are difficult to calculate correctly, especially if ordered with other items. You will receive a refund based on the actual cost of shipping. For example, a jacket liner and controller can ship at the same cost of just a jacket liner, but I have to set a shipping cost for each because a customer might not order both.
Shipping Chart:
Regular Shipping Costs are calculated based on the following chart:
On the left is the percentage shipping cost according to which price range an order's total value falls in on the right. In simple terms this means that the more you buy, the lower your shipping rate. If your shipping payment exceeds the actual shipping cost by more than a small amount, you will get the difference refunded.
I try to keep shipping cost as low as possible, while making the cost pay for my actual shipping cost plus packaging. Unfortunately with Paypal's shipping calculations it's not always possible to automatically charge a fair shipping price on some very large orders. In those cases I will issue a partial shipping refund.
The weight and value of items don't always come out the same, but after adjusting my shipping chart several times, I have managed to balance most shipping costs as fairly as possible
I have lowered some prices in the past year but no prices have been raised. I think my reputation as a fair seller stands for itself and if you think you're being overcharged for shipping I want to hear about it.
Regular Shipping Time:
Most orders take 2 or 3 days to process, and about one week shipping time. Sometimes customs or postal systems may delay shipping. If you haven't received your order in two weeks, please E-Mail me to let me know. It is very rare when an order is lost in shipping, but a few do take a bit longer to arrive. Please make sure the person's name in the Paypal address actually lives at that address or the parcel may be returned. If you give me a different address and name to ship to that's fine, but the same rule applies.
EMS Express Shipping:
All orders over $150 (not including shipping), ship via EMS for no extra charge.
However, if your order is over $150 and you'd prefer regular shipping and a partial shipping refund instead, you must leave this info on the checkout page.
Please take your time and read all these facts before ordering or inquiring about EMS shipping.
Please make sure you also E-Mail me
if you want EMS shipping, after paying further down this page. Please make sure I have your phone number to help expedite shipping. A cell phone is best if no one will be home on the day of delivery.
EMS shipping in most cases takes only 3 days but costs more on top of the regular shipping charge. EMS can take longer depending whether you live in a big city, what country, and how long Customs takes.
EMS comes with tracking and insurance. You will receive a copy of the waybill with a tracking number when the order is shipped. Use this link to track your EMS order via Japan Post..
There are times for orders over $100 but less than $150, when the cost of EMS isn't that much more than regular shipping. If you'd like to know what it would cost to ship your order via EMS please E-Mail me
to find out how much it would cost. Please note that E-Mail is checked regularly during the morning here (evening EST) but if I can't get an answer through to you, it may be too late to get EMS shipping on that day. I may have to hold your order for an extra day so please do not ask for an EMS quote unless you really need fast shipping. It may actually hold up your order if you decide against it.
You will be notified if you need to pay more if your shipment is over 500 grams. Some items like wire looms are quite heavy and the shipping cost can be more.
Money will be refunded if you overpay. I like shipping to pay for itself plus the box and packing materials. I do not try to make extra money on shipping costs. If you overpay, you make sure that your order will ship immediately without me having to notify you to ask for more money, you to send more money, and me to then ship your order.
EMS shipping depends on everything on your order being in stock. You will be notified if something is not in stock. Most everything is always in stock. Some larger Powerlet items which are drop shipped are not stocked. These items though can usually be expedited by Powerlet so you get them in 3 days. This will depend on what day it is because Powerlet does not work weekends whereas I do.
I process and send out orders almost every day of the year. Sometimes I go for a ride on my bike, and EMS may have to wait until the next day. I always check my E-Mail in the mornings though, and send out any EMS that is waiting. On rare occasions I will take a short vacation. If I'm away more than a day or two it will be posted on the Main Page of the website.
Most EMS orders received before 11:00pm EST can go out the same day.
Disclaimer: I am unable to guarantee delivery in 3 days. If you need something by the weekend and it's Wednesday in America, then you have left it too late. I have no control over whether U.S. or Canadian (or other countries) Post Office workers deliver on Saturday, Sunday, or holidays. Please do not blame me if delivery is not in 3 days. I do my best and get your order out on time. What happens to it is entirely up to the Postal system in your country. EMS service is generally excellent. On time delivery may depend on you being available for customs clearance or post office pickup.

EMS PAYMENT CALCULATION:
1 - Make your complete order online first and note the shipping amount (write it down).
2 - Now subtract that amount from the appropriate cost above according to your Zone above.
3 - Click the box below, then enter the remainder in the EMS input box.
4 - You must do this immediately after ordering so I know you want EMS. Most orders go out same day.
I hate to ask for more money but in some cases I may have to do that. Some items have a low value but are heavy so they cost more to ship than is charged automatically in the shipping calculations.
