Scope of Shipping Policy

Our Shipping Policy is crafted to cover a broad range of logistics and considerations to ensure that we can meet the diverse needs of our customers, from local craftsmen to international corporations. Here’s an overview of what this policy encompasses:

Geographical Reach:

North America Focus: Our primary shipping destinations include the entire USA and Canada, reflecting our commitment to serving these key markets with efficiency and reliability. We have optimized our shipping processes to ensure timely deliveries across these regions.
International Shipping on Request: While our focus is on North America, we understand the global needs of our customers. We facilitate international shipments outside Canada and the USA upon request. Customers interested in international delivery are encouraged to contact us in advance to confirm the possibility of shipping and to arrange the necessary details, ensuring a smooth transaction and delivery process.

Order Value and Shipping Charges:

Free Shipping in Canada: To provide additional value to our Canadian customers, we offer free standard shipping for orders exceeding $100 CAD, making it easier and more cost-effective to access our high-quality industrial tools.
Shipping Charges and Methods: Shipping charges for orders outside the free shipping threshold and for international orders are calculated based on various factors, including order weight, shipping distance, and selected shipping method. Our team works diligently to determine the most efficient and cost-effective shipping options for each order.

Shipping Methods:

Diverse Carrier Options: For domestic orders within Canada and the USA, we utilize a selection of reputable carriers, including Purolator, UPS, Canpar, and FedEx, to offer flexibility and reliability. The choice of carrier may vary based on the specifics of the order and the destination.
Special Arrangements for Large Orders: Orders requiring pallets, or those that are custom or of significant volume, may necessitate further shipping planning. We reserve the right to select the best shipping option based on the order's requirements at the time of shipment.

Order Processing:

Stock Availability: Our policy is to ship orders only when all items are in stock. This ensures that our customers receive their complete order in the most efficient manner. For orders with partial stock available, we may hold the order until the remaining items arrive, unless the customer requests partial shipment. Additional fees may apply in such cases.

By outlining the scope of our Shipping Policy, we aim to provide transparency and set clear expectations for our customers. Whether you’re placing an order from within North America or from other parts of the world, Targa Tools is dedicated to delivering your industrial tool needs with precision and care.

In the following sections, we will delve deeper into specific shipping methods and charges, providing you with detailed insights into how we calculate shipping costs and manage deliveries to ensure your satisfaction.

Shipping Methods and Charges

Understanding our shipping methods and how we calculate charges is crucial for a seamless shopping experience. At Targa Tools, we are dedicated to providing transparent, efficient, and cost-effective shipping solutions tailored to the unique needs of each order. Here’s a closer look at our approach:

Domestic Shipping within North America:

Carrier Selection: For standard shipments within Canada and the USA, we partner with leading carriers such as Purolator, UPS, Canpar, and FedEx. This diverse selection allows us to offer reliable and flexible shipping options, ensuring your order arrives safely and on time.
Free Shipping: To add value for our Canadian customers, we offer free standard shipping on orders exceeding $100 CAD. This initiative is designed to make our high-quality tools more accessible while easing the shipping cost concerns.
Special Arrangements for Larger Orders: For orders that require pallets or are characterized by significant volume or custom requirements, we engage in further planning to identify the best shipping solution. These orders may necessitate different carriers or shipping methods, determined at our discretion based on the specifics of the order and destination.

International Shipping:

Request Basis: While our primary focus is on serving customers within North America, we can accommodate international shipping requests. Customers wishing to have orders shipped outside Canada and the USA should contact us in advance to confirm the possibility and arrange freight details.
Shipping Charges: International shipping charges, as well as those for domestic orders not qualifying for free shipping, are calculated based on weight, dimensions, shipping method, and destination. We strive to find the most cost-effective and efficient shipping options for our customers, whether shipping domestically or internationally.

Calculating Shipping Charges:

Transparent Estimates: At checkout, our system provides an estimated shipping cost based on the information you've provided about your order and shipping destination. This estimate aims to give you a clear understanding of the shipping charges before you finalize your purchase.
Final Charges: The final shipping charges are confirmed once your order is ready for shipment. This accounts for any adjustments in weight or dimensions after packing and any changes in carrier rates.

Handling Special Shipping Requirements:

Custom and Large Tool Orders: Orders involving custom specifications or large tools may require unique shipping arrangements. Our team will work closely with you to ensure these requirements are met efficiently and cost-effectively.
Partial Shipments: If only part of your order is available and you request partial shipment, additional fees may apply. This option allows you to receive available items promptly while awaiting the rest of your order.

At Targa Tools, our goal is to make the shipping process as straightforward and worry-free as possible. By offering a range of shipping methods and clear guidance on charges, we aim to meet the diverse needs of our customers, ensuring satisfaction from the moment you place your order to delivery at your doorstep.

Custom or Bulk Orders: Orders that require custom specifications or consist of large quantities may necessitate additional processing time. We will communicate any expected delays directly to you to ensure transparency and manage expectations.

Stock Availability and Order Shipment:

Complete Orders: Our standard practice is to ship orders only when all items are available in stock. This approach minimizes the potential for partial deliveries and ensures that you receive your entire order in the most efficient manner possible.

Delivery Times

At Targa Tools, we understand that timely delivery is crucial. While we strive to process and ship your orders as quickly as possible, the actual delivery time can be influenced by several factors beyond our immediate control. Here's what you need to know about our delivery times:

Estimated Delivery Times:

Our website provides general estimates for shipping times from our facility to your location. These estimates are based on our carriers' average delivery times and the specific details of your order.
For domestic orders within Canada and the USA, standard shipping typically results in delivery within 5-7 business days after shipment. Expedited options are available for shorter delivery times.
International orders, facilitated upon request, have varied delivery times depending on the destination country, customs processes, and local delivery practices.

Factors Influencing Delivery:

Several external factors can affect the timeline for receiving your order:

Carrier Performance: Delays can occur due to the shipping carrier's operations, including high volume periods, weather conditions, and logistical challenges.
Customs and Import Processes: For international orders, customs clearance can introduce delays beyond our initial estimates. The duration of these delays can vary significantly by country.
Local Delivery Practices: The final leg of the delivery, managed by local postal services or carriers in the destination country, may also impact the delivery time.

No Guaranteed Delivery Times:

While we provide shipping estimates to help you plan, we cannot guarantee delivery times. The estimates are offered as a guideline based on typical experiences but are not binding commitments.
We encourage you to order well in advance of any critical deadlines, especially for international orders or during busy holiday seasons, to allow ample time for delivery.

Tracking Your Delivery:

We provide a tracking number with every shipped order, allowing you to monitor your package's progress. This information is accessible through the carrier's tracking system, offering real-time updates on your order's status.
In the event of any unexpected delays, we recommend consulting the tracking information for updates or contacting our customer support for assistance.
