TIPS FOR SHIPPING YOUR GAUGES TO THE TACH
SHACK
IDENTIFICATION Place
inside box all relevant information about your (name, physical address, phone, email) and
information about the gauges being shipped (make, model, year, mileage, nature of
problem). Include any correspondence or conversation you may have had with us
regarding the repair and price. This is especially critical if you use a
mailing service. It is amazing how many packages we get with no information inside.
If you want fast service and we have already quoted you a price, include your check
or credit card information.
SHIP TO The Tach
Shack, c/o APT Instruments, 9632 Humboldt Ave S, Bloomington MN 55431
BOXES Use sturdy
boxes with flaps intact. Double-boxing is recommended by most carriers.
Make sure the box is large enough to put adequate padding around gauges being shipped.
INSIDE CUSHIONING Use
a minimum of 3" to 4" packing materials around the gauges. Use enough so
gauges do not shift during transit. If shipping more than one item in a box, wrap
each item separately and put sufficient packing material between them.
SEALING THE BOX Do
not wrap outside of box with string or paper. Tape all seams securely end-to-end
with pressure-sensitive packing tape or water-activated paper tape.
INSURANCE APT is not
responsible for gauges damaged during transit to our shop. We recommend you insure
your shipment. If we receive a package which has been crushed by the carrier, we
will call you immediately so you can file a claim. Remember, the question from the
carrier is always, "Was it packaged correctly?" They will deny your claim
if you have not followed the above packing procedures.
YOUR SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
For most clusters and gauges, we charge $18 for
shipping and handling to customers within the U.S. For smaller items $12. We have increased our s&h prices recently due to
costs passed onto us by DHL and USPS. We routinely ship DHL ground within the
U.S. Shipments to other countries may cost more and are usually sent via U.S.
International mail which is cheaper.
