DriveWire Shipping Policy
Where We Ship!
Drivewire.com ships our products worldwide, using a number of shipping services depending on the type and/or location of service. We have over 65 nationwide warehouses that provide next day service on over 99.7% of all ground shipped orders. This means on most orders we can get the product to you the next morning even under the free ground shipping promotion.
Credit Card Shipping Billing Mismatch or AVS failure
If the credit card fails the address verification check, or the product is shipped to an alternate address than that of the billing address of the credit card, shipping will be delayed until we can verify and authenticate the credit card holder threw the issuing bank. In most cases this will delay shipment for 2-3 days. This is done to protect you the card holder against fraud!
Shipping Methods
Our goal is to offer you the fastest and lowest-cost shipping method. We use several shipping carriers including DHL, United Parcel Service (UPS) and United States Postal Service (USPS). We will select the lowest priced carrier when you submit your order so that you receive the best possible price and delivery time. Orders shipped to APO , FPO and PO Boxes are automatically sent via USPS. We do not require a signature for most UPS or USPS shipments. Some oversized or special handling orders will need to be shipped via Common Carrier. The shipping charge and approximate shipping time will take longer and will require customer authorization.
Shipping Locations
We currently have over sixty warehouses across the United States to maximize part availability and minimize the time it takes for you to receive the order.
