Most in-stock orders ship within 1-2 business days. If your order contains custom, freight required, specialty, or non-stock items, lead times may vary. You will receive an email confirmation with tracking information once your order has been shipped.
Dates are not displayed due to the fact that transit times vary. We display shipping options such as Ground, 3 Day, 2 Day, or Next Day Air for parcel packageable items. Some items require freight, and we will display Southeastern Freight Lines or SAIA as current options.
Standard ground transit times typically takes 3-5 business days. Freight Shipping typically takes between 2 to 7 business days depending on the carrier. Faster shipping options are available for parcel qualifying orders.Stock items will display stock and quantity available. If an item is out of stock or has a lead time, that information will also be clearly shown. For bulk or time-sensitive orders, feel free to contact us to confirm stock in real time.
Expedited shipping affects transit time only. It does not accelerate order processing or fulfillment. If you need both expedited shipping and priority processing, please contact us directly - we are always happy to help.
Blind shipping removes STS branding and pricing from the packing list. However, some packaging may still feature STS-branded boxes. This option is available while checking out.
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery for most standard items, provided they are unused and in the original condition. A 25% restocking fee may apply, and the cost of freight will be the responsibility of the customer shipping the return. If a label is needed, we may provide one for an additional charge. Refunds to credit or debit cards will be issued back to your original payment method within 7–10 business days after we receive your return. Custom, special-order, and cut-to-length items are generally non-returnable. Please contact us at [email protected] to initiate a return or for more information.
In most cases, Material Test Reports (MTRs) and Certificates of Conformance are provided at no additional charge.
