| Shipping Policy

*Free Shipping

Orders that qualify for free shipping are valued at at least $350 and qualify for UPS ground shipments. Free shipping does not apply to oversize items that must ship out via LTL, or other methods or items that weigh over 20lbs. General Plumbing Supply reserves the right to modify and adjust this program and cancel the customer’s order if there has been an error in calculations when determining freight charges.

Shipping Charges

Shipping charges are calculated based on a combination of the products purchased, shipping address, and shipment methods while taking into account any applicable promotional shipping offers. Shipping costs are subject to change if an error in package size/ weight is found. Customers will be notified in writing of all changes and will have the right to cancel the order if they do not accept the additional charges.

Determining shipping charges is as simple as 1-2-3:

  • Add the product(s) to your shopping cart
  • Go to the Checkout Page and Type in the shipping zip codes
  • The cost of shipping and the various options available will be displayed on the screen below.

SHIPPING METHODS

General Plumbing Supply makes every effort to ship all products in the most efficient shipping method possible. For LTL shipments, insurance will be added for the item's value. Due to the cost of some items, LTL shipment rates are subject to change for additional insurance is necessary (expedited shipping methods are available for an additional cost). Please note, we do not ship on weekends, all orders are processed within 1-2 business days.

All LTL shipments will include residential delivery with call-ahead service and liftgate. Insurance will also be included.

General Plumbing Supply is not responsible for any damages. All claims for damage must be filed with the carrier and noted on the bill of lading.

For smaller items, our shipping options are:

  • Standard Ground: Your product will be delivered in estimated 5 to 7 business days after the product leaves the warehouse. Our chosen provider is UPS, but we may use Fedex or USPS under certain circumstances.

For larger items that require truck delivery, our shipping options are:

  • Freight Carrier: Your product will be delivered curbside. Liftgate and additional insurance are extra. We will let you know the total shipping cost before the product is shipped out if additional options are requested.

| Return & Cancelation Policy

Effective June 1, 2016

General or defective returns are accepted for items purchased from General Plumbing Supply. We accept general returns up to 30 days after receipt and defective returns up to 90 days. There’s no minimum value on returns. Store credit may apply.

Please note that all product images are only illustrations of a basic description of what the product may look like and may differ from the product being shipped. The item number listed on the order confirmation will be the item that will be shipped except if that item falls into the lead time policy where a substitute may be shipped. If a product is purchased based on the image, however, is found to be incorrect, the customer will be responsible for all shipping charges related to the transaction. However, no restocking fee will be charged.

Restocking fees are not charged in most cases. Exceptions may include general returns for special orders or discontinued items and any orders that receive customer negotiated discounts. Items shipped via LTL must be pre-approved prior to return, and the customer will be responsible for all return freight.

For all returns, please contact our RGA department at returns@generalplumbingsupply.net. All returns must have a valid RGA number, or they will not be processed. All non-defective returns are subject to inspection, and items deemed not new in the box may be denied or issued a reduced credit.

Items ordered that do not show any availability are considered special order items. These items are subject to a 25% cancellation fee if the item has not shipped yet. These items, once shipped, cannot be returned, and all sales are final.

Please understand that some special order items have a longer lead time. We will try to expedite these items if possible. If there is a manufacturing issue and a special order item is delayed, we reserve the right to cancel the order and refund the customer the amount. All fees would be waived in these cases.
