PAYMENT INFORMATION

Credit / Debit Cards

Aircraft Spruce Australia accepts all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. We do not accept Diner's Club. Online orders must be completed on one credit card, however split credit card payments are accepted on phone (877-477-7823), email (Click Here), or will call orders at any location.

We prefer first time orders to ship to the same address as the credit card billing address. If the order is routed to management for approval, we will verify the address with the customer's bank. The billing address must match exactly before the order can be processed for shipment. Additional forms of identification may be requested in order to verify legitimacy of the order. If we cannot confirm validity of card holder, we may request a wire transfer to complete the sale.

If the customer requests to ship to another address, we will first verify the billing address. If this address is correct, we will verify that the shipping address is also on file with the bank. If it is not, we request that the customer call his bank and advise them to add the alternate address to his file for verification. The customer will then notify us the address is on file with the bank. We will then call the bank and confirm. Once confirmed, the order will be released to ship. We may also, at our discretion, attempt to contact the cardholder by phone to confirm the order. If the alternate address is a hotel, we reserve the right to decline shipment until payment is received in full in advance and we confirm the customer name is registered with the hotel. We reserve the right to insist that any first time order ship to a verified billing address only.

We reserve the right to request an authorization on your credit card for the amount of the order at the time of order. When the order ships, we will settle and collect the amount of the order including but not limited to the merchandise, applicable taxes, freight, and/or ancillary charges and any authorized amounts in excess of the settled amount will be released. If your order is not able to ship before the authorization expires, you agree to allow us to settle that authorization to hold the parts for you until the order is ready for shipment. You agree to hold Aircraft Spruce Australia harmless for any costs you incur due to over limit or insufficient funds as assessed by your credit card company or bank. Special order or dropship items are settled at the time the purchase order to our supplier is issued.

• Paypal

  We accept PayPal payments (via our website only) provided that the shipping address is a PayPal confirmed address. PayPal payments cannot be combined with other payment methods. Orders through PayPal cannot be modified. You must cancel the order and place a new order if necessary. The entire order amount will be settled by Paypal at the time the order is placed. If items are removed from the order, we will refund the Paypal account for the total credit due.

  NOTE: Paypal refunds can only be issued 180 days after payment is sent. If a refund is requested after that time period, it can only be provided in the form of store credit or gift card.

PRICING POLICY

PRICE MATCH POLICY: WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD!

Our Lowest Price Guaranteed is only applicable to identical conditions of sale. The item must be in stock at the other authorized dealer (not a floor sample, open box item, refurbished or demo piece). This offer applies to new purchases only.

We will continue to do our best to minimize increases and offer all our products at the best possible prices. All prices are subject to change without notice.

Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies.

Please note the following guidelines for placing an international order. You may place your order with any of our international representatives or directly through our website or international sales department. Correspondence should be sent in English or Spanish to expedite service.

Requests for quotation are processed within 72 hours, unless additional research is required on a product. All prices quoted and invoiced by Aircraft Spruce West are FOB Corona, CA and by Aircraft Spruce East are FOB, Peachtree City, GA. A quotation is processed as a proforma invoice for all overseas customers. A proforma invoice is not considered an order until funds are received to process the order. Actual freight charges may differ from a freight quote or estimate provided by a freight carrier.

First time orders are preferably received by fax, e-mail, or website to insure correct notation of name and billing and shipping information. Please note the information on 8130 forms in the following paragraphs. If 8130 forms are required, we must be notified at the time the order is placed so that we may special order the documentation.

To economize on the shipping costs, International orders are generally shipped complete unless otherwise advised by the customer. We utilize DHL, UPS, Fed-Ex and Air Parcel Post for most international shipments. Shipments by DHL, UPS and Fed-Ex are highly recommended because of the excellent traceability of the shipments. Parcel post traces are very time consuming and unreliable. We cannot be responsible for shipments made by USPS Parcel Post. Our international department also utilizes the services of many other air and sea carriers. Should the services of a freight forwarder be necessary we can work with one who is familiar with our service or with one of your choice to meet your shipment requirements.

All freight, duty and customs charges are the responsibility of the customer.

Preferred methods of payment are credit cards (American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover) and by bank transfer. There is an additional $20 service charge for bank transfers. When making a bank transfer please fax a copy of your transfer along with your order request to ensure accurate allocation of funds. Please note that if payment is made by bank transfer there is an approximate 7 day delay before funds are confirmed and allocated.

OTHER CONDITIONS OF SALE

PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY / IMAGES

Product photos shown may represent the type of product, or be for illustration purposes only, and may not be an exact representation of the product delivered. Due to the number of individual SKUs offered, it would be an impractical task to take and upload individual product photography for every single item, and in any cases Aircraft Spruce Australia relies on the manufacturer of the product to provide photography for their products. We always recommend ordering by the model number and application of a product and not purely by the photo. Please contact an Aircraft Spruce Australia sales representative if you would like confirmation what you are ordering will match the website or catalog photo / imagery.

SHIP AND BACKORDER

Our default shipping option will allow us to ship all in stock products to you immediately from the nearest geographic warehouse with inventory and backorder any items which are not in stock. The items that did not ship will be sent from the next closest warehouse with inventory. If we do not have any inventory of the product, we will ship the parts as soon as any warehouse receives stock from our suppliers. Aircraft Spruce Australia pays the freight on most backorder shipments within the lower 48 states (except oversize packages, hazardous products, and products which would have required a separate package if shipped with the first shipment). Unless otherwise instructed, we will Ship and Backorder (if necessary) to insure prompt delivery of all in stock items.

Hold and Ship Complete

This shipping option instructs us to hold your entire order until all items are in stock. You authorize us to charge your credit card for the entire amount of the order to secure those parts for you in advance, even if the order cannot ship the same day due to backordered items. This will allow for all items on your order to ship at one time, but it can also cause indefinite delays in shipment if any items are not in stock and delivery from our suppliers is delayed. We do not recommend this option except for certain export orders or orders where the products not in stock are oversize or hazardous, which would require additional shipping charges if backordered and shipped later. If the only products missing are small and can be shipped by mail, we will backorder them and ship all in stock items immediately. Please request this in the Special Instructions box in the Shopping Cart if you prefer this option.

CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMANCE AND FORM 8130 (EXPORT)

CUTTING CHARGES

Certain orders for cut materials (i.e. wood, metal, etc) may incur an additional cutting charge. Nearly all our cut material orders are shipped with no additional charges, however, should your order warrant a cutting charge, you will be contacted with an explanation and request for approval. If approved, we will proceed with the order and if it is not approved we will provide alternative solutions.

ADDING ON TO AN ORDER

• Orders that have "Packed" or "Invoiced" status
• Orders qualifying for free shipping
• Orders placed by PayPal
• Orders containing special order items

OUR 100% RECYCLED, BIODEGRADABLE PACKING PAPER

Aircraft Spruce Australia has used biodegradable corn starch packing peanuts to pack outgoing orders for a number of years which provided excellent protection of the products in the box, but could also cause a mess when the box was opened and unpacked. We have looked for a more customer friendly packing material alternative for some time, and we are pleased to announce that we are now using a 100% recycled, 100% biodegradable paper packing material to replace the peanuts. This material is suitable to our high volume shipping requirements, protects the contents of the box as well as the peanuts, and will allow customers to unpack their shipments without having to pick up peanuts afterward.

INVOICE / ORDERS PAID BY CHECK

For our customer's convenience we enclose a copy of the invoice covering the order with each order shipped except those shipped to a third party. If the order is paid by check and the check did not cover the full amount of the invoice, the amount of underpayment will be sent C.O.D. for the balance due plus C.O.D. fee of $10.50 rather than delay the order. If you have overpaid by check, the overpayment will be credited to your account or refunded. C.O.D. shipments are considered paid as soon as we receive payment from UPS, and credit card orders are paid automatically at time of shipment.

WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR ORDER

Upon receipt, the package should be opened promptly and material checked against the packing slip enclosed. Any claims for lost or damaged merchandise must be made within 14 days of delivery. Items out-of-stock at time of shipment will be marked as back-ordered to follow.' These items will not be charged on the invoice enclosed with the package and will be forwarded as soon as delivery is received from our suppliers. The backordered items will not be charged until shipped. About 90% of the items featured in our catalog are carried in stock. Special items of hardware, bearings, unusual fittings and slow moving items are special ordered as required. However, even with the large inventory we carry, it is not uncommon to come up short on some items. If an item is missing and not marked backordered, please advise us immediately.

BACKORDERS

Backorder are shipped from the warehouse that receives stock first. Although we make every effort to ship all orders complete, it is often necessary to backorder one or more items if we are out of stock. When the partial order is shipped and invoiced, you are not charged for the backordered item(s) until these items are shipped. You are billed only for what is shipped. A backorder is created and shipped as soon as the items arrive. The backorder is then invoiced and any overpayment from the first invoice is applied to it. If you do not wish to have any items backordered, or wish to cancel an existing backorder, just let us know. We will do so immediately if the backorder has not been shipped. We are working continuously to keep all items in stock to preclude backorders. If a backorder is necessary, we do appreciate your patience. Aircraft Spruce Australia pays the shipping costs within the 48 contiguous United States by surface shipping on backorders when the backordered items could have been shipped via UPS inside the first package at no additional freight cost. Except when the backordered items are oversize, hazardous, contain one gallon or larger, or COD shipments. We will continue to strive to maintain stock of all our products to keep the necessity for backordering parts to a minimum.

AMAZON RESELLERS / PROCESSING FEES

Any customer that is inputting orders obtained from other websites, ie Amazon.com, and processing them through Aircraft Spruce Australia is subject to an additional charge per item for handling, packaging, marketing, et al. Free shipping offers may be voided on orders obtained from other selling channels. All accounts can be suspended without notice if the account experiences high volumes of customer service issues.

OPEN ACCOUNT

Aircraft Spruce Australia has long served many companies, schools and government agencies on an open account basis. Established companies can apply for an open account by submitting a credit application including all company data and at least three business references and bank information. Credit application forms available on request. Open account terms are net 15 days after invoice date.

DEALER / OEM / WHOLESALE DISCOUNTS

We have offered discounts to our regular dealers and FBO's for many years for resale purposes, and we welcome the addition of new dealers to best serve aviation consumers worldwide. Due to the very competitive and low margin nature of most of the prices shown in this catalog, all discounts are based on volume purchasing. Discounts for many items are shown below the product in the catalog. Discounts for items with discounts not shown in the catalog or for larger quantities than those listed can be quoted by mail, phone, or FAX upon request. You can be assured, as an aviation dealer, that you will receive the best possible net prices from Aircraft Spruce Australia on all product lines that we carry. If you ever find a lower current advertised price on any product, just let us know and we'll beat it. Call for an Aircraft Spruce Australia dealer application if interested in becoming a dealer of Aircraft Spruce Australia.

SPECIAL ORDER ITEMS

Over the years, one of the services that our company offers that seems to be most appreciated by our customers is our willingness to research and provide quotations for special items. Other supply firms tend to discourage special requests due to the time and effort it takes to find these items, and request that customers order catalog items only. We have always taken a different approach and welcome requests for non-catalog items. Call or write and provide as much information as possible including make, model, serial number of aircraft and exact part number or product you need, plus your credit card number. Within 24 hours if possible, we will advise you of the price and delivery time on the item, at which time you can place your order if acceptable.
