Sales & Return Policies

Revised 05/01/2024

Welcome to PrimoFirePumps.com, a division of Western DataLynx Inc., where we make every effort to be sure your shopping experience is a Primo experience!

Our Sales & Return Policies are listed below and we invite you to contact our Customer Service Department directly at [email protected] or call us at 866-626-3473 (U.S.) / 530-622-3751 (International) with any questions or concerns.

Acceptance Of Orders

All orders are subject to approval by our customer service and credit departments. We reserve the right to refuse any order.

 

Accuracy Of Website

Although we do our best to ensure our website contains accurate information, individual product descriptions and specifications are claims of the respective manufacturer and/or distributor and are not guaranteed by Primo to be accurate. All prices are subject to change without notice. Mistakenly posted prices on the website do not obligate us to honor those incorrect prices. We reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone for any reason.

 

Damaged Goods

Please inspect your shipment immediately upon receipt. In the event you receive a damaged or short shipment PLEASE DO NOT REFUSE THE PACKAGE, you must immediately file a claim with the carrier. Under ICC regulations this claim is the consignee's (your) responsibility. Please contact our Customer Service Department for assistance.

 

Delivery

The delivery time for your order may vary subject to carrier shipping practices, delivery location, the items in your order and occasionally by other circumstances beyond our control.  Products may be delivered in separate shipments and by multiple carriers.

Some items ship directly from carefully selected vendors and manufacturers. Other items are stocked in our warehouses located around the country and delivered by a common carrier.

In many instances, delivery personnel will deliver your order to your front door. Some items ship via LTL freight and a loading dock or forklift may be needed to unload them from the truck. To facilitate this we include Lift Gate Service on all LTL freight shipment unless otherwise requested by the customer.

With LTL freight shipments to residential addresses the carrier will typically contact you to schedule a delivery appointment prior to attempting delivery and someone must be available to sign for the shipment. Please try to respond to the carrier as soon as possible to schedule delivery and avoid additional delivery delays.

*Business days are defined as Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays and seasonal holiday closures.

 

Delivery To Mail Drop locations

A "Mail Drop" location is an address where a business or service accepts mail deliveries on behalf of a customer. We can ship to Mail Drop locations with a physical address such as a UPS Store (formerly Mail Boxes Etc.) so long as the delivery address matches the payment billing address. However, we are unable to deliver to Post Office Boxes or APO/FPO addresses, which are military overseas mail drops.  Please note that Mail Drop locations may not be able to accommodate truck shipments.

 

Do I Have To Sign For My Order?

For your safety, packages valued at over $500 require a signature release unless otherwise requested in advance by the customer and approved by our Credit Department before shipment. (ALL truck shipments require a signature).  It is best to have someone available to sign for your order during the hours of 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays (UPS may deliver to residential addresses between 8:00 am and 7:00 p.m.). In certain instances, your order may not be suitable for driver release. The driver will leave a note with instructions on how to receive your order, or you will be contacted for a redelivery. Residential freight deliveries will normally be preceded by a phone call from the freight carrier arranging for a delivery appointment.

NOTE: WE CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR DAMAGED SHIPMENTS WHERE THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT SIGN FOR THE SHIPMENT.

 

International Orders

Our website and US retail business is operated within the continental US for customers within the US and therefore we do not accept online orders shipping or billing to international addresses. Orders placed through our website can be delivered to street addresses (not P.O. Boxes or APO/FPO) in the continental US, Alaska and Hawaii only.

International customers, please contact our Customer Service Department for assistance in placing an International order or to arrange for shipment of goods to a U.S. based freight forwarder.

 

Order Processing

All orders are processed in the order they are received. Orders for in-stock merchandise, placed on our regular business days* by 12 noon Pacific Time, will usually ship the same day. (Where credit approval and product availability are confirmed by 12 noon on the same business day* that the order is placed) During times of heavy order processing some orders may not leave until the next business day. Orders with expedited shipping requested will be given priority where possible.

Special Order items, custom built items and items drop shipped from alternate warehouses may require additional processing time.

Truck shipments may be delayed an additional 1-2 business days depending upon carrier pickup schedules and additional time required to palletize shipments for transport.
