FAQs

Orders

I want to change an order I placed.

If you need to change an order, please call Customer Support at (401) 273-8888 as soon as possible. We will be unable to make changes once an order has shipped. Our return policy becomes effective after your products are shipped.

Do my purchases include equipment set-up?

Shipping

What are your shipping rates?

Shipping is free on most orders over $100. A flat shipping rate of $9.95 applies to most orders under $100. Special charges apply to some items. We will discuss these with you if and when they arise.

How will my order ship?

Most equipment is delivered by our truck and our Field Representative. Most supplies are delivered by UPS or the USPS.

Do you ship to locations outside the continental United States?

We do not ship to addresses outside of the continental United States. If you have a friend in the continental United States who can forward the package to you, we can ship it there. Just order in the usual way, providing a shipping address in the continental United States. You might want to check to see if any duties or taxes would apply when your package arrives in your country.
