1. How long does it take to receive my order?

Depending on your distance from our location, orders generally ship from our Cleveland, Ohio plant in three to four days from date of order. Special orders or large orders may take longer.

2. Can I order shipments C.O.D. ?

We accept Visa and Master Card credit cards. At this time we cannot ship C.O.D. If you don’t have a credit card, fill out the order page and print it. Send it along with a certified bank check or money order for the total amount. Upon receipt, we will process your order.

3. Can you ship to a different address other than my billing address?

We can ship to an address other than your billing address. When you register, fill in your shipping address if it is different that your billing address. Under no circumstances will we split a shipment.

4. How much will it cost to ship my order?

To be fair and easy, we calculate shipping cost by weight, not by value. Therefore, your freight cost is more accurate. You won’t pay $30.00 freight for a part that weighs only 5 pounds. Freight rates are based on our volume discount with several carriers, including UPS and FedEx. Your cost is based on the weight of the order and the distance from our plant. We want you back as a repeat customer! We don’t want you to feel that you were overcharged for shipping and handling.

5. Can I have expedited shipment?

If you must have next day or expedited shipment, please contact us and we will quote your freight rate for your order and process your order as quickly as we possibly can.

6. What about backordered items?

Occasionally we are temporarily out of stock on an item. If, in the event we are out of stock on a particular item, you will be unable to order it from the list. Generally, we have the items back in stock in a few days. You could either check back to the site or contact us atinfo@goamericantruck.com and we will advise you when the item becomes available.

7. What do I do if I receive an item that is damaged?

Important! If shipped by UPS or FedEx, note the damage before signing for the shipment. Do not return the damaged merchandise to us. Contact your local UPS or FedEx office. Damaged items must be left in the original carton for UPS or FedEx to inspect. UPS or FedEx will contact us after the inspection.
