Q: Who is responsible for proper installation and testing?
Customers are responsible for consulting the vehicle manufacturer's service manual and following all applicable installation and repair procedures.
After installation, all necessary inspections and testing must be performed to verify proper fitment, functionality, and safe operation of the repaired system.
Connector Experts is not responsible for improper installation, incorrect repair procedures, or failure to perform appropriate post-installation testing, to the extent permitted by law.

We do not normally ship on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays. Please contact us if you require special shipping arrangements.
Q: What if my package arrives damaged?
Visible package damage or shipping-related damage occurring during transit must be reported to Connector Experts within 24 hours of delivery so we can promptly investigate and file a claim with the shipping carrier.
Please retain the original packaging, shipping materials, and damaged items. Photographs may be required to assist with the claim.
The 24-hour reporting period is intended for carrier claims and does not limit any nonwaivable legal rights.
Q: What if I receive the wrong part?
If Connector Experts shipped a part different from the one ordered, please contact us immediately.
We will provide the correct part at no additional charge or issue a full refund. A prepaid return shipping label will be provided when necessary.
If the part received matches the part ordered but is not compatible with your vehicle, our standard return policy applies.
Q: Does Connector Experts cover labor or additional repair expenses?
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Connector Experts' liability is limited to the purchase price of the affected parts and excludes additional costs such as labor, installation, removal, vehicle downtime, lost profits, and incidental or consequential damages.
Nothing in this policy limits rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.
Q: Can I pick up my order locally?
Yes. Local pickups are available by appointment only.
Please contact Connector Experts in advance to schedule your pickup. Walk-ins without an appointment cannot be accommodated.
Q: Can I cancel my order?
Customer-requested cancellations of orders exceeding $250 are subject to a 3% payment processing fee, deducted from the refund, provided the order has not left our facility or been picked up by the shipping carrier.
Once an order has shipped, our standard return policy applies.
Cancellation fees do not apply to cancellations or refunds required by law or resulting from an error by Connector Experts.
Q: Do you ship outside of the USA?
Yes. We offer international shipping to eligible destinations, subject to carrier availability and applicable restrictions. Please contact us for shipping options and pricing.
International customers are responsible for applicable customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, and other charges imposed by their destination country, unless expressly stated otherwise at checkout.
These charges are not included in the purchase price or shipping charges unless specifically indicated. Connector Experts does not collect or receive customs duties paid directly to foreign authorities or carriers.
Please consult your local customs office for additional information before ordering.
Q: Do you ship to Alaska and Hawaii?
Yes. We ship to Alaska and Hawaii. Available shipping services and pricing depend on the destination and carrier.
Q: What could cause a shipping delay?
Shipping delays may result from incorrect or incomplete addresses, carrier service disruptions, severe weather, holidays, high shipping volumes, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
If a carrier is unable to deliver your package because of an address issue, we may contact you by phone or email.
Delivery dates and times are estimates unless expressly guaranteed by the carrier. Connector Experts is not responsible for carrier delays beyond our reasonable control, to the extent permitted by law.
If an eligible expedited shipment is delayed, we may submit a shipping refund claim to the carrier. Approval is not guaranteed, and claims typically take 5–10 business days to resolve.
Shipping charges include handling costs and are generally nonrefundable unless the issue resulted from our error or a refund is required by law.
Q: What are the return terms?
Returns must be initiated and returned within 10 days of delivery. Parts must be unused, unaltered, unmodified, and in their original packaging.
An approved Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and original invoice are required. Please obtain authorization before returning any items.

Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility.

Please do not refuse or reject a package simply because you wish to return it. Refused deliveries may result in additional carrier processing and return shipping charges, which may be deducted from eligible refunds where permitted by law. Refusing delivery may also delay the return process.
All return restrictions and deductions are subject to applicable law. For additional information, please review our Terms & Conditions.
