Online Ordering

We encourage our customers to place orders online. We strive to keep our website informative and up to date. While browsing our website you will notice two separate looks - our static website and our online storefront. By separating the two, we feel we can offer the best of both worlds to our customers. Our static website allows us to display our products to the very last detail. For each product we include lengthy descriptions, technical information, and loads of pictures. Our powerful online storefront covers the sales aspect of each product including pricing, options, shipping, and checkout information.

When viewing a product on our website, you will find a single order button. This order button will take you to the product page in our online storefront where you can configure your order, checkout or continue shopping.

When browsing our online storefront you will find a basic product picture, brief description, and all the information you need to order and checkout. Each product page in our online storefront will include a link back to the product page on our website. There you will find additional pictures, descriptions, and technical information.

Before ordering, we always recommend you read all available product descriptions and technical information. The products we manufacture and sell are considered modifications to your vehicle and should always be treated as such.

Payment Options

Using our secure online ordering system we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and PayPal.

When paying with PayPal, you will be taken to PayPal's website to complete your payment. After paying for your order PayPal will automatically re-direct you to our website. This step is very important. If the PayPal page hangs up, click the link provided to manually return to our website. If this step fails, your order will be considered incomplete by our shopping cart system and will cause some confusion. If you do not receive an order confirmation within 24 hours your order probably failed to complete.

We also accept personal checks and money orders on an individual basis. Please contact us via email for an order total. When emailing us, please be as specific as possible and list the products you would like to purchase. We will respond with a total price and payment information.

Shipping Information

At 42, we believe in honest shipping rates and no hidden fees. Unless an item is specified 'free shipping', shipping will be calculated exactly by package weight, dimensions and destination.

When placing an order you will be able to choose the shipping method which best suits your needs. Default shipping will be calculated by the rate chart above. You will have the option to choose any method better than default.

Flexible shipping options are also important if you live on the other side of the US. For example, if you live in California your default shipping will be UPS Ground. You may choose USPS Priority Mail at a similar shipping rate. 42 is located in MD, so a UPS Ground shipment to California will take 4-5 days to arrive. USPS Priority Mail takes 2-3 days to arrive.

Transit times are completely dependent on your location. We have listed the basic transit times of our shipping methods in the table above. USPS transit times are loosely quoted. It is not uncommon for a USPS shipment to take a few extra days. The more organized your local postal service, the better. UPS transit times are typically very reliable. You may reference the following UPS ground map to estimate when your order will arrive.

Faster shipping options are also available. You may choose UPS 3 Day Select, UPS 2nd Day Air or Next Day Air when checking out. Rates are calculated based on package weight, dimensions and destination.

Please Note!

Always double check your shipping address. If you provide 42 with a bad shipping address your order may not arrive on time and/or may be returned to sender. 42 is not responsible for additional shipping costs associated with shipping an order twice.

Transit times are NOT guaranteed by 42. You, the customer, and 42 are at the mercy of USPS and UPS. We do our best to ship orders placed before 1pm EST the same day. Once an order ships, transit time is no longer our responsibility.

USPS transit times are quoted loosely. It is not uncommon for USPS to take additional time to ship a package. This is based entirely on your local postal service. The better organized your local postal service, the faster your order will arrive.

UPS transit times are typically very reliable. Like USPS, it is not uncommon for a package to be delayed at the local hub. If you are concerned about the arrival of your shipment, be sure to track the package during the day to catch any exceptions or problems. You may call 1-800-PICK-UPS to discuss pickup options if there is a problem with your shipment. Additionally, some UPS drivers may not drop off a package without a signature. Some UPS drivers will leave a package on your doorstep is no one is home. This is entirely based on your local hub and driver. We do not specify 'signature required' when shipping packages with UPS.

Email Communication

Email is important! We use email to send order confirmations, receipts, backorder and shipment notifications. Be sure to provide your correct email address. If you use any kind of spam filter please authorize emails from sales@42draftdesigns.com.

When you place an order with 42 using our online storefront, an order confirmation will be sent to you by our online storefront. Once your order is in our main system, you may receive an additional order confirmation, a receipt, or a backorder notification as needed. Once your order has shipped, we will send you a shipment notification with tracking number and tracking instructions.

As always, email is the best way to get in touch with 42. Email can be answered by multiple staff members at any time during the day if and when we get behind. Emails are normally replied to within 24 hours. Monday is our busiest day, so expect some delay in response when sending emails Saturday through Monday.

Backorders

Typically, all of our products are in stock. Some of our products are 'made to order' and can take 5-15 days to ship. Any products made to order will be marked accordingly in the product description in our online storefront.

By manufacturing the majority of our product line we are able to better control our stock levels. While this keeps many of our products in permanent stock, it is not uncommon for us to have some products on backorder. Production schedules rarely allow for instant changes when a product runs out. Often forces beyond our control cause delays in production, such as outside suppliers, shipping delays, or machinery problems.

If a normally stocked product runs out and we don't foresee refilling the shelves within 2-3 days we will make note of this backorder on our news page. If we foresee a backorder lasting more than a week, we will also make note of this in the product description. If your order includes a product which is on backorder you will receive a backorder notification via email when your order is processed. Please reply to this email for an estimated shipping time, or to arrange for the bulk of your order to ship immediately.

We ask that you please have patience. In the grand scheme of things, we're a small shop. We don't have multi-million dollar production lines pumping out our products 24x7. We work regular business hours, and frequently put in overtime to keep up with the growing demand of our product line. Please don't wait to the last minute to place a time-sensitive order. If your order is time sensitive, feel free to note this in the comments section of our order form.

If you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to contact us. Communication is key to a positive and successful transaction.

Canadian Customers Please Note:

Our current dealer network services Canada very well. 75% of the above dealers place orders with us twice a week. It is very likely that any of the above dealers will have what you need in stock. If they do not have what you need in stock, your specific product can be added to their weekly orders and received quickly. The majority of our Canadian dealers pay for expedited shipping in order to receive orders very quickly and reliably. By placing larger orders, they also save on import duties, taxes and customs fees. As a general rule of thumb, our dealers price our product line by adding actual import fees to our published website pricing. It is cheaper to order from a Canadian dealer than directly from 42.

Global Customers Please Note:

The international marketplace is more difficult to service than the North American marketplace. There are situations where ordering directly from 42 will be cheaper and faster than ordering through a dealer. Due to variances in currency exchanges, customs fees, import duties and taxes, the actual cost of an international order can vary in enormous amounts. In cases where ordering through our international dealer network is significantly more expensive or quality of service may be compromised, we will ship international orders direct. However, the following rules will be followed by 42 staff with absolutely no exceptions.

  1. No orders over $50 US will be shipped via USPS.
  2. Any order over $50 US will be shipped via UPS or TNT Global Express.
  3. All customs documents will be completed with 100% honesty.
  4. 42 will never de-value or misrepresent the value or contents of an international shipment.
  5. All shipping costs, customs fees, import duties and taxes are the responsibility of the customer.
  6. No international returns.
  7. Payment via wire transfers subject to a $35 fee

USPS has proven to be inconsistent and unreliable with international shipments. There is no such thing as a tracking number with USPS international services. Transit time is completely out of our hands. In the past we have had USPS international shipments take anywhere from one week to 4 months to arrive. We are not responsible whatsoever for USPS transit times. If you are hesitant to use USPS, please contact an international dealer to place your order.

All international order requests are handled on an individual basis and naturally take more time to process and ship than domestic orders. If you are interested in placing an international order please email us at sales@42draftdesigns.com with your detailed request. Once your order is finalized we will provide shipping rates and payment options via email.

Don't be surprised to find that shipping to your country is expensive. We absolutely insist that orders over $50 be shipped via TNT or UPS. These methods of international shipping offer fast, reliable shipping that can be tracked. We refuse to use USPS to ship international orders. USPS international shipments cannot ever be tracked. Due to lack of tracking, customs delays, and completely inconsistent service we will not use USPS to ship anything of value. We will never compromise our service to save the customer money. If you are shocked by the cost of shipping or unsure of your country's import duties, taxes and customs fees please give our international dealer network the chance to quote your order.
