MINIMUM ORDERS

The minimum order amount to be invoiced is $50.  Parts order quantities will be increased to a $50 total when applicable.

DELIVERY & SHIPPING

When quoted a delivery time frame, your Purchase Order must be received within 7 days from the date of the quote.  After 7 days the quoted time frame is invalid and your estimated ship date may or may not be within the time frame quoted.  For customers with an urgent request, there exists a possibility to ship earlier than quoted. However, an “expedite fee” could be assessed, along with any other expenses incurred to fulfill this request. (See additional information below on expediting orders.)

International shipments are pre-paid & added to the customers invoice. International carrier: CGL International or UPS.

Coast Controls domestic shipments are pre-paid via UPS Ground and UPS Freight. If the customer prefers another carrier, or a premium routing method, this information must be clearly stated on the Purchase Order and confirmed, in writing, by Coast Controls. Customer must provide account number for other carriers when applicable. The customer must authorize any additional expenses that will incur. All promises of shipment or delivery are approximated as closely as possible by Coast Controls, but are subject to delivery estimates made by our suppliers, weather conditions, fires, strikes, disputes, accidents, delays in transportation, material, fuel, or labor shortages, or any other cause beyond reasonable control of Coast Controls. In no event will Coast Controls assume any responsibility for any delays in shipments or deliveries.

EXPEDITING

If a purchase order must be expedited, interfering with the normal work flow of manufacturing, the order is subject to a 20% “expediting fee”. The minimum “expedite” charge is $50 per order. All additional fees must be approved and added to existing purchase order.

BLANKET ORDERS

Blanket orders may be scheduled over one fiscal year on one purchase order. Blanket order terms may not exceed the period agreed to. Scheduled shipments may not be broken up. Cancellation charges will be assessed against all work in progress, development costs, and inventory. Failure to accept delivery for all items ordered within the period agreed to may result in Coast Controls reestablishing unit price for each item ordered for the entire order, i.e. for items shipped and for item not yet shipped. This new price will be based upon both the new number of units scheduled for delivery, and the number of units already delivered. If this number of units falls below the quantity break required to receive the original quote, then the price will have to be adjusted.

SHORTAGES AND DAMAGES

All claims for shortages or shipment errors must be made within 15 days after the receipt of the shipment. Coast Controls liability is limited to the amount of material value on the invoice. Claims for other loss or damages are filed against the carrier involved in the specific shipment.

RETURNS & CANCELLATIONS

Any purchase may be returned for credit within 30 days of shipment, provided that the item is (A) unused and resalable, (B) found to be defective in either material or workmanship (subject to QA inspection), or (C) has been specifically approved by authorized Coast representative. Before returning any item call 1-800-513-2345 to obtain approval. No RA# is required. Please have your invoice or packing slip number available when you call and include a copy with your return. If the return is a result of an error by Coast Controls, we will gladly make arrangements for return at our expense. Returns that are not the result of a defect or error by Coast Controls must be returned at the customer's expense and will be subject to a handling and/or restocking charge. All merchandise must be returned in its original packaging. C.O.D. returns will not be accepted.

Cancellation of any order must be approved by Coast Controls and will be subject to a cancellation fee.  Cancellation fee will be determined based on expenses already incurred and commitments made by Coast Controls.
