Shipping Policy
🚚 Free Shipping on Every Order
We offer completely free shipping on all orders shipped within the continental United States — no minimum order required. Whether you're ordering a single replacement track or a full undercarriage kit, shipping is always on us. We ship via UPS Ground, FedEx Ground, or LTL Freight depending on the size and weight of your order.
1. Processing Time
Orders are processed and prepared for shipment on business days (Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays).
- Standard processing: 1–2 business days from order confirmation
- Large or freight orders: 2–3 business days to allow for proper palletizing and freight scheduling
- Orders placed after 2:00 PM PST on business days will begin processing the following business day
- Orders placed on weekends or holidays will begin processing the next business day
You will receive an email order confirmation immediately after placing your order, and a separate shipping confirmation with tracking information once your order ships.
2. Shipping Carriers
Due to the weight and dimensions of rubber tracks and undercarriage parts, we use multiple carrier partners to ensure your order arrives safely and on time:
UPS Ground
Used for smaller individual tracks and accessories under 70 lbs. Residential and commercial delivery available.
FedEx Ground
Used for mid-size track sets and undercarriage parts. Commercial and residential addresses supported.
LTL Freight
Used for large full-set shipments (typically 75+ lbs total). Scheduled delivery with advance notification.
The specific carrier used for your order is determined by order weight, dimensions, and your delivery location. You cannot select a specific carrier at checkout, but all carriers provide tracking information.
3. Delivery Timeframes
Estimated delivery times after your order ships (not including processing time):
| Service Type | Transit Time | Order Weight | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| UPS / FedEx Ground | 3–7 business days | Under 70 lbs | Door-to-door delivery; tracking available same day as shipment |
| LTL Freight | 5–10 business days | 70+ lbs (full sets) | Carrier will call to schedule a delivery appointment window |
| Total Estimated Lead Time | 5–10 business days | All orders | Processing time (1–3 days) + transit time |

5. Tracking Your Order
Once your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing:
- Your shipment tracking number(s)
- A direct link to the carrier's tracking page
- Estimated delivery date
- Carrier contact information
For UPS and FedEx shipments, tracking updates are available within a few hours of pickup. For LTL freight shipments, tracking may take up to 24 hours to appear in the carrier's system.
If you have not received a shipping confirmation email within 3 business days of placing your order, please check your spam/junk folder and then contact us at info@excavatorminirubber.com.
6. Freight Delivery — What to Expect
If your order ships via LTL freight (common for full track sets weighing 75+ lbs), here is what to expect:
- Freight carrier contact: The carrier will call 1–2 days before delivery to schedule a delivery appointment window (typically a 4-hour window)
- Delivery location: Freight carriers deliver to the curb or end of your driveway — not inside buildings or down long driveways. Please ensure a forklift, pallet jack, or loading dock is available if needed, or that you have help to offload
- Inspect before signing: Before signing the delivery receipt, inspect the packaging for damage. If damage is visible, note it clearly on the freight bill ("Subject to inspection — packaging damaged") before signing. Take photos
- Report damage within 48 hours: Contact us immediately at +1 (628) 277-8547 or info@excavatorminirubber.com with photos of any damage
7. Address Accuracy
Please ensure your shipping address is complete and accurate at checkout. Rubber track shipments are heavy and expensive to re-route. If an incorrect address causes a shipment to be returned to us:
- We will contact you to confirm the correct address
- Re-shipment to the corrected address may result in an additional shipping fee for freight orders
- Standard UPS/FedEx address correction fees (typically $20–$40) may be passed on to the customer
8. Lost or Stolen Packages
If your tracking shows "delivered" but you have not received your package:
- Check with neighbors, building managers, or other household members
- Wait 24 hours — occasionally carriers mark packages as delivered before they arrive
- Contact the carrier directly with your tracking number to open a trace/claim
- Contact us at info@excavatorminirubber.com — we will work with the carrier on your behalf to resolve the issue
