Availability Estimate
Here's a list of availability estimates you may see while shopping on HPMS.com. If the availability of an item changes after you place your order, we'll send you an e-mail.
Usually ships in 1-2 business days Defined: The item is in stock at HPMS's New Hampshire warehouse and we expect to be able to prepare the item for shipment within 1-2 days. If the item is being fulfilled by one of HPMS's alternate warehouses and the warehouse has the item on hand and can ship it out within 2 business days. When ordering such items, please double-check the details of your order before submitting it.
In some cases, HPMS.com may indicate on the product detail page that processing will take longer before the item is shipped. In-stock items often enter the shipping process immediately, so it is difficult to change an order containing in-stock items.
Usually ships in 2-3 business days Defined: we expect to receive the item from a nearby distributor within 2 to 3 days of your order.
Usually ships in 1-2 weeks Defined: we expect to receive the item from a distributor within 1 to 2 weeks of your order.
Expedited Service Defined:
Expedited service does not mean Next Day or Second Day service. For example, if you order an item that "usually ships in 1-2 days" and selected Standard U.S. shipping (which typically takes 3-7 business days in-transit days) you should estimate that your order will arrive in approximately 3-9 business days. If you selected Expedited US shipping (which typically takes 1-3 in-transit business days) on an item that "usually ships in 1-2 days" you should estimate that your order will arrive in approximately 3-5 business day.
Shipping Rates
Each listing notes the shipping weight the product is billed at. This weight assignment is reflective of several factors including all the geographies we ship to, overhead and packaging costs, oversize and dimensional product lines, fees and varying transit times. The weight assignment and rate represent a realistic view of expenditures in the current shipping marketplace and may not be the precise weight of the product.
3. Can I Receive Additional discounts?
Our prices are deeply discounted, typically the lowest on-line. We do not charge you up front for the the cost involved in satisfaction guarantees. In most instances our pricing and policies provide an opportunity for tremendous savings. Almost always, even with the shipping expense, you save money over the typical retail outlet.
In some cases we can offer discounted pricing on large quantity orders - IE: 12-24 Count of the same item in single shipment.

6. Address Corrections: Our shipping labels are the result of downloading the order information you provide. Packages are shipped to the precise address you provide unless we notice a gross error in which case we will contact you. If your package is returned to us as a result of incorrect address information we will contact you for the correct address and the funds to reship. Should you elect not to have the item re-shipped we will refund you in full for the product only. Shipping charges are not refundable for incorrect or incomplete addresses or refused packages.

8. Tracking Information
We enter the tracking information for your order into your as soon as it becomes available to us. The entering of your tracking information may not always be the same time that the item shipped. Some products may be shipped from different locations and/or the precise tracking information may not be available to us at the time the order shipped. In other words, tracking information not being immediately available does not necessarily mean the package has not shipped. If you have a question as to whether or not your item is on its way, please call or email us with your Order Number ready and we will do our best to assist you.
To speed delivery, some shippers like USPS, do location-scan all of their shipments. When shipping volume is high particularly around the holidays, packages are processed in bulk, and the first time a package is scanned may be upon arrival at a regional hub near the destination, or even when the package is delivered. If you don't see any tracking data for your shipment, and the estimated delivery date has not yet passed, please do not be concerned.
After the Estimated Delivery Date:
If your order does not arrive by the estimated delivery date, it may be lost or mis-delivered. Orders shipped via a trackable method (such as UPS, Fed-Ex ) will have tracking information available. Orders shipped via USPS will include a confirmation of delivery. Please check this information once available and read through the following options:
Tracking Indicates Delivered
If you have not received your package, yet tracking indicates it was delivered - Please check with your actual mail or UPS/Fed-Ex carrier then neighbors or other family members. Packages are occasionally left with neighbors, a building manager, or are placed somewhere relatively safe such as your porch, garage, car or even behind bushes. Once you have checked all available sources and are unable to locate the package please email hpms@hpms.com or call 800-633-0433 so that we may place a claim and replace your order. Please do not notify us that your package is lost by leaving negative feedback. We ship hundreds of packages every day and depend on the carriers to do their job. We can not assist you if we do not know you had a delivery problem.
Tracking information indicates the package is undeliverable:
If the package is being returned to us as undeliverable you should contact us by phone at 800-633-0433 or by email at hpms@hpms.com to make arrangements to re-ship the package. We will hold your package for up to 7 days once returned. If we do not hear from you after 7 days your order will be considered a return and a refund minus shipping and restocking fees will be issued.
Please note that changing your shipping speed will not improve the shipping date, but your estimated delivery date will improve. Keep in mind that whether you chose standard or expedited you must add the days from the time you placed the order to the time the order is shipped to the time the order takes to get from our location to yours. These times are estimated in business days (Monday through Friday). There is no weekend or holiday pickup or delivery on standard or expedited shipments. Also, when you select expedited, we may use air or ground shipping as necessary to get your items to you within the promised time frame.
