Sales, freight, shipping, delivery and fees - domestic

Q:
A:
Why does Grainger Parts charge a handling fee?
Handling charges are common practice in the parts business, where slow-moving, hard-to-find items are stocked. As a centralized distribution center, Grainger Parts stocks thousands of SKUs, allowing us to provide the breadth and depth of inventory our customers need and the availability they demand. It is also common practice for centralized distributors to have minimum order requirements and restocking charges, Grainger Parts does not have either of these for items we stock.
Q:
A:
Is there a restocking charge to return parts?
No. Grainger Parts doesn't charge for restocking for items we stock. There may be a fee for non-stocked item returns.
Q:
A:
Why does the Grainger branch pre-pay freight but Grainger Parts does not?
The official Grainger branch policy is to pre-pay freight only on orders that exceed $1,500. However, the Grainger Parts policy is based on the volume of business a customer does with Grainger Parts.
Q:
A:
What is your official warranty policy? Does the customer need an invoice to return a repair part?
Ideally we would like to have a copy of the original invoice. However, we still honor parts purchased through Grainger Parts, or parts for finished goods purchased through Grainger, for one year from the date of the sale. Click here for details about Grainger’s Limited Warranty Terms of Purchase.

Q:
A:
What is the difference between a "Freight Forwarder" and "Ship Direct - Package Delivery Service" (Courier)?
A Freight Forwarder is an intermediate consignee as an agent on your behalf to provide transportation and logistics services. Freight Forwarders arrange freight, delivery, customs clearance, documentation preparation, cargo insurance, and related services.

You may chose to use the method "Ship Direct - Package Delivery Service" (via a Courier). In this case, an integrated transportation service provider is contracted by the Seller (Grainger) to handles shipping and delivery to you. Some of the major delivery service providers are UPS, DHL, FEDEX, Airborne, BAX, etc. These services are subject to weight/dimension restrictions and hazardous material restrictions.

You may contract a major carrier (such as UPS or DHL, for example) as your Freight Forwarder, but in this case, the carrier would be contracted as your agent rather than as Grainger’s agent.

Charges for air/ocean freight and courier can vary widely depending on the route, availability of the space, weights, and volume.
Q:

A:

The importer of record is liable for payment of duty and taxes and responsible for meeting all requirements related to the import transactions. Import duties and taxes are determined by the government of the import country.

Can you provide quotes for actual packing weights and dimension weights?
We can provide you with estimated shipping weights and dimensions, however we cannot provide actual weights and dimensions until an order is ready for shipping due to packing requirements.

A:
Are other import related fees charged?
