Returns & Exchanges
1.) Core return policy:
All cores must be returned within 30 days of purchase, & must be in the original package to receive credit. Core credit will be at the discretion of the rebuilder, not Import Parts Specialists, Inc. All decisions regarding core credit are final. Credit will be issued only after review by the rebuilder. Full credit can not be issued for broken housings, disassembled items, or cores that are missing parts. Deduction will depend on the severity of the flaw, & will be up to the rebuilder.

2.) New return policy:
New items to be returned must be accompanied by a copy of the invoice. The item must be in resell able condition, & in the original packaging. Items must be returned within 30 days of purchase. There is absolutely no returns on electrical, fuel injection, or special ordered items. Items must be repackaged in an appropriate shipping container. Items shipped in the manufacturer's packaging (no outer box) will be refused.

3.) Warranty item policy:
Import Parts Specialists, Inc. does not imply any warranty, other than that of the manufacturer. Items will be replaced, or refunded at the discretion of Import Parts Specialists, Inc. Replacement items will be charged to your account, & credit will be given upon the inspection & verification of the manufacturer. UPS ground freight costs will be prepaid by Import Parts Specialists, Inc., but overnight, or air freight costs will be the paid by the purchaser.

4.) Lost or damaged item policy:
Any damage must be reported to the freight carrier within 48 hours of receipt of the damaged item. It is imperative that you save the original packaging. Failure to do this may negate any claim of damage. Items that are determined to be "lost" by the carrier will be replaced, or refunded at your option, but only after the package has been determined as "lost" by the carrier. Replacement items can be shipped after the package is overdue, but your account will be charged for the part (s). Some special order items may not be returnable, if the original item arrives at a later date. Please check with a salesperson, before placing a replacement order.

5.) Late air freight credit policy:
On the occasion that an air freight package arrives late, credit will be issued in accordance with the policy of the carrier. Weather & other natural acts may not be grounds for credit, as there is no control over these events. Partial refunds may be issued, to compensate for the slower service. The difference between next day air, & second day air service may be what is refunded, for example. We hope that this will not be an issue, but we will attempt to get as much reimbursement as possible for you.
