What are shipping costs and lead times?

Shipping costs and lead times depend on the items you are ordering, your location, and if the items are in stock. The best way to explore your shipping options is to create an account on the Serialio.com Online Store. Once you have created an account, add the desired items to your cart, and proceed to checkout. If any of the items are Backordered, it will notify you of this. Continue to the shipping screen. Here you will see the various shipping options we offer, as well as the corresponding costs. You are not required to enter in payment details to see this information. You can also contact sales@serialio.com to verify the information.

My USPS International package hasn't arrived, what can I do?

If you have chosen the USPS International (Global Express Mail) shipping, and you have not received the package, first track the package to see if USPS states it has been delivered or not. (Serialio will provide a USPS confirmation number upon shipment). If the package has still not been received with 60 days of purchase, you must contact Serialio.com If not notified of the failure to deliver the package after 60 days, it is assumed that customer has received the package. After 90 days from shipment, due to USPS International tracking limitations, we have no power to locate the package. Please avoid this problem by keeping close contact with Serialio.com if you suspect your package has been misplaced/lost/stolen.

Can I have my order shipped via First Class Mail or International Mail without insurance or tracking?

Yes, however, a special form must be filled out to authorize this shipping method, release liability from SerialIO, and accept the risk involved. Click here to download the Mail Shipping Release Form Once completed, attach the form in an email to sales@serialio.com or fax to 866-546-4523.

Depending on the manufacturer of product purchased, warranty period can be from 30 days to two years. See below for a general listing of Product warranty terms.
