ORDERS - We strive to process your order quickly. You will receive an acknowledgment for your order that describes what you ordered, the pricing, the delivery, shipping address, billing address and other terms.

COMMUNICATION – We will promptly answer any questions or call if we have questions concerning your order. We will strive to make sure that we both understand the product specifications before we start production of special items. We will provide a drawing for your tooling or equipment as appropriate for the circumstances. We will notify the buyer if the order will be significantly delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.

PRODUCT QUALITY – Product quality is guaranteed to meet the specifications when the order was accepted. We will work to correct any problems.

ORDER CANCELLATIONS - The customer may cancel their order for any reason prior to shipment. Cancellations for special orders are subject to charges for labor and materials completed or furnished as of the date of the cancellation. Every effort will be made to accommodate the cancellation of your order, providing your order has not been charged and/or shipped out. In the event that a cancellation was submitted before your order for a standard item was already shipped, we will gladly refund the complete balance charged including shipping. However, if the cancellation was documented as received after the order was shipped, we will issue a refund for the merchandise total (less shipping) upon its return to our facility.

Cancellations must be confirmed in writing by e-mail <donpetsch@gmail.com> Cancellations must contain the following: First name, last name, order number, and email address. This information must be identical to the information originally submitted on your order. Please provide contact information so that we may contact you if we have questions in regards to canceling your order. Refunds will be issued in the same form payment was made. Please allow 10 days for processing.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS - Subsequently, from time to time, if we are not able to fulfill your order, you will be notified via email for any item that is temporarily out of stock or simply cannot be fulfilled within the delivery period quoted. An immediate credit will be issued (upon your request) to your method of payment.

SHIPPING POLICY – Standard stock items are shipped, on average, within 2 to 3 days from the time your order is placed. Special orders are shipped, on average, within 1 to 2 weeks from the time your order is placed unless otherwise quoted. We will notify you when your direct order is shipped from our facility and attempt to keep you informed of the status of drop shipped items. On average you should expect to receive your order for a stock item within 5 to 7 business days from the time that you place your order. Goods will be shipped via the most economical method unless otherwise requested by the buyer. Shipments are made FOB (Ex Works) from our plant. The shipping terms and delivery promises indicated on your quotation supersede the website policy.

DUTIES AND TAXES - Local duties and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer. Your company must furnish a state sales tax exemption certificate upon our request

ORDERS NOT RECEIVED - Once an order has been shipped and there is a delivery confirmation, Mike Petsch & Associates, Inc. is not responsible for any theft of product or delivery to the wrong address. You must notify us within 15 days of shipment notification if your order is not received.

TRUCKING COMPANY DAMAGE - Please notify us if your item was damaged in a common carrier shipment and has visible carton damage upon receipt. You may also choose to not accept the shipment, but if you do accept the shipment, the buyer must note the carton damage with the driver upon signing for the package. The common carrier is usually responsible for shipping damages. The seller cannot file a claim with the carrier unless we also arranged the shipment. We will need evidence of the damage from the buyer to file a claim within 5 days of your acceptance of the package. If the buyer arranged for the shipment using their account, then the buyer must file a claim for damages with the carrier, usually within 10 days of shipment.

RETURN POLICY- If the items shipped are not as described, we will either correct the problem with your tooling or provide a refund. In most cases this will be minus our return shipping, although if it was a blatant mistake by us we'll pick up everything. Bottom line, we want you happy but we are also not running a tool rental business!

Our tooling may have oil covered surfaces and sharp edges so prevent injuries by taking appropriate safety precautions that may include using appropriate gloves and lifting straps.
