Ordering Information
Thank you for relying on Danchuk. We are equipped to receive your orders by website, telephone, mail, fax, e-mail or in person. Most orders are shipped within 24 hours and delivered anywhere in the continental united states in no more than 3 working days, in most cases, and we offer a rush service for those in a real hurry!
Telephone Orders: Our toll-free order lines serve all 50 US states and Canada. Mail Orders: Order forms are provided for your convenience under the Downloads tab. Please provide a complete address, shipping address (if different), home telephone with area code, method of payment, and a complete vehicle profile. California residents, add 8.75% sales tax. Indiana residents, add 7% sales tax.
Fax Orders: If you have a fax machine, you may place your orders on our fax line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Online Ordering: You may place your order over the internet via our online order form. This can be accessed at our web site at www.danchuk.com.
Ordering in Person: Feel free to visit our showroom in Santa Ana, California during the hours listed above. Take a look at the many parts we have on display in our showroom and pick up what you need. If an item you want to order is on backorder, we will gladly call you when the part comes into stock and you can come back to pick it up. If you prefer to have the backordered part shipped to you, actual shipping charges will be applied.
Counter Customers/Will Call Orders: Please feel free to phone, fax or e-mail your order to us before coming in to our showroom to pick it up. We will hold your will call order for 72 hours before we have to cancel the order.
Backorders: If an item is out of stock at the time you place your order we will keep it on backorder and ship it to you as soon as it becomes available, unless you specify otherwise. All backordered items incur actual freight on them when they ship regardless of how the order was originally placed (in person, through the mail, over the phone, fax or internet). Please note: If your backorder is shipped COD, you will be charged the $9.00 COD tag fee plus actual freight charges. If you prefer to avoid the COD tag fee on backorders, please provide us with a credit card number to which we can charge the backorders, or ask that your backorders be canceled. We reserve the right to cancel backordered items on international orders if the cost of shipping them would be prohibitive. Customers whose backorders are canceled by Danchuk will be notified of the cancellation. If you do not wish us to backorder items for you, please inform us at the time you place your order.
Special Order Items: Orders for upholstery items (such as seat covers, headliners, some carpets and door panels), some A/C units, and others items are special ordered and must be prepaid. A signed waiver form for all special order upholstery items is required at time order is placed. Please see interior order forms at the back of the catalog. Also, upholstery orders are charged a $10 handling fee which is charged to us by our vendors. We can only accept returns of special order items if the items are damaged or defective. Drop Ship Orders: Some parts lines we carry, such as glass and carpets are too extensive to warehouse at our facility so we drop ship them directly to you from our vendors. Drop ship orders must be prepaid and will incur a $5.00 drop ship fee in addition to the freight charges noted throughout the catalog. All freight charges quoted in the catalog are for destinations within the 48 contiguous states only. Please call for freight quote for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and all international destinations.

Rush orders must be placed by 11 AM Pacific time, and paid for by credit card. We will ship your rush order via the air service you select (see Shipping Methods, on this page) for the actual shipping cost.
Oversized Items: Oversized items are those which exceed the normal size and/or weight limitations of our selected carriers and are therefore charged an additional fee to ship. Those items are noted throughout our catalog and internet site using the “O/S” symbol. Charges for Oversize items will be applied to your credit card or COD order total when your order is processed. If you choose to send us a check or money order, please add 10% of the order subtotal, ($10 minimum), plus $12 for each oversize item orders. This fee applies to all shipping method and carriers.
Additional Handling: In addition to the oversize items (O/S), there are also some items that are charged an additional handling fee by our carriers. These items are noted throughout the catalogs and our internet site using the “A/H” symbol. The additional handling fee is $7.50. This will be charged to your credit card or COD order at the time of processing. If you choose to send a check or money order, please add $7.50 for each item marked A/H.
Truck Freight: Some items are too large to be shipped UPS and need to be shipped truck freight. These items are noted throughout our catalog and internet site using the “T/F” symbol. Orders requiring truck freight shipping cannot be shipped COD and must be prepaid with a credit card or by sending us a check or money order. We cannot provide freight quotes on line. Your order will be sent to our shipping department for a freight quote and you will be contacted for your approval prior to sending the order. Please note that, according to the freight companies we utilize, if there is no one at the delivery address to assist the driver with unloading the freight, you will be charged a $50 fee in addition to the freight charges already incurred.

The cost of the insurance will be added to your order.

United States Mail Service: Due to an increasing number of lost and/or untraceable packages we have experienced with shipping packages through the US Mail Service, we will no longer offer this as an option for shipping packages to any destination.

Returns and Exchanges
Returning Parts:  If you need to return a part to us for any reason, please call before shipping the part back to us.  We will discuss the problem and issue a Return Merchandise Authorization number.  Please place the RMA number on the outside of the box and include a copy of your receipt.  No returns will be accepted without an RMA number.  All returns must be shipped with the freight prepaid, properly packed and insured for the full value of the part.  Returns sent to us COD will NOT be accepted.  Unless the part is defective, or we shipped it to you in error, you will be responsible for all shipping charges incurred.  You also may be subject to a 20% restocking fee. Returns made within 30 days of purchase will be refunded in the original payment form, provided part(s) is unopened and in sellable condition. Returns made after 30 days of purchase will be given store credit, unless item is defective. No returns accepted after 90 days.
Non-Returnable Items: The following items may not be returned for refund or credit: carburetor kits, books, literature, decals, video tapes, all electrical items, and all special order items. Should you receive a defective item, we will be happy to replace it. Some items will need to be sent to the manufacturer for warranty repair (i.e. radiators, stereos, power boosters, etc.).
Damaged Shipments:  Please inspect your package immediately upon receipt in the presence of the delivery person. Examine the box for any visible outside damage, as well as the parts inside for any hidden damage that may have occured during shipping. In the rare event that your package is damaged in transit, you must file a claim with the delivery company immediately, as most delivery companies have set time limits on damage claims notifications. Failure to do so may result in the loss of your claim. Do not send the package back to us. The delivery company will send a representative out to your location to examine the package and its contents so it is very important that you retain all packaging until the claim is settled.
Parts Ordered In Error:  If, upon receipt of your order, you determine that you have ordered the wrong part, or you decide that you no longer want the part you ordered, please call us immediately.  We will be happy to exchange the item you ordered for the correct item or give you store credit if you notify us within 30 days of delivery.  You will be responsible for all shipping charges incurred.  You may be subject to a 20% restocking fee.
Defective Parts: If we have shipped a defective part to you, please call us immediately. We will be happy to exchange the item or refund your money in full within our 90 day guarantee period. Please see “Non-Returnable Items” above.
Parts Shipped in Error and Shortages:  Again, please check all packages immediately upon receipt and notify us within 10 days of delivery if you discover an error or shortage. We will ship the correct item to you or give you store credit for the price of the missing part if we are notified within 10 days of delivery.
Undelivered Shipments: UPS and most other carriers will leave a notice at the shipping address and/or return on another day to attempt delivery if they are unable to deliver your shipment to the specified address. If they are still unable to make delivery, the package will be returned to us. We will then contact you to make further arrangements. If you refuse a shipment of parts which you ordered from us, or if you do not pay the carrier the amount due on a COD order, the package will be returned to us. We will then contact you to make further arrangements. In any of the above events, you will be required to pay the shipping charges incurred before we will reship the order or ship any new orders. Customers refusing to pay for a COD delivery will be required to prepay all future orders. You may also be subject to a 20% restocking charge.
