Shipping Information

All shipments are via UPS ground unless requested otherwise.  Cost of shipment, handling and insurance will be added to the total bill.  Our shopping cart estimates the shipping charges.  We reserve the right to change the charged amount when the actual shipping charges differ more than 10% from the estimate.  Estimated shipping charges are US domestic only.  We strive to keep product on the shelves ready for shipment, but often demand depletes stock.  We will let you know by phone or email of the anticipated shipment date, especially if there is a delay.  Keep in mind that UPS can take 7-10 days depending on the distance from Idaho.  We do not ship COD.

IMPORTANT UPDATE  –  International Shipping

As of 3/25/2022, Modern Driveline will no longer offer freight pick-up organized by the customer as a company, or individual, or third-party shipping company from our location.

Any international order placed with Modern Driveline will be shipped either directly to you by our shipping company or to a freight forwarding company of your choice within the continental US.

Your freight forwarder may offer LTL freight (Canada & Mexico), Air freight, or Sea freight.

International orders sent to a residential address within the US will be treated as a residential order and sales tax may apply.

By law, any freight forwarder must have a legal resale certificate and business license to avoid any sales tax charges. Sales tax is determined by the ‘ship to’ location.

All freight forwarder locations must include:

Company Name

Address

Contact Person Name

Contact Person E-Mail address

Contact Person Phone Number

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we have experienced significant delays resulting in additional internal costs, space management issues, and increased time spent educating the pick-up company regarding legal paperwork requirements.

Thank you,

The Modern Driveline Team
