Parts Warehouse Policy

www.transmissioncenter.net

When you use our website to place an order, you yourself or with assistance from one of our team members, you agree to the following terms and conditions:

Not all items are guaranteed in stock at our warehouse, at the time of ordering.

If you are working on a time sensitive project, please call to verify if our warehouse has the items available on hand. Call 1-888-877-1008 and ask for Parts / Sales.
We verify the complete billing address with your bank card, credit or debit, through our merchant gateways at the time that your order is placed. Which will result in an authorization over your funds available.

No funds will be captured until your order ships. The authorization over your funds will expire, and fall off in 3 – 5 business days, if your order has not shipped during that time frame. If your order has shipped, we will have captured your funds, plus any additional shipping charges, if applicable.
In the event of any item(s) being out of stock at our warehouse, at the time of purchase, we will order in the required parts from our vendor(s). At this time your order will go into “Parts on Order” status, and can take between 1 -3 weeks to be fulfilled.

You will receive a notice of this status change in your account, as well as an email.

If at this point you would like to modify, or cancel your order, you can. Call 1-888-877-1008 and let one of our team members know you would like to discuss a “Parts on Order” status.
Any parts orders for items that are currently on indefinite backorder from our vendors, will be cancelled. In this event, you will be notified via your account, email, and/or phone. No refund will be issued, because no funds will have been captured, because no items were shipped out.
Items may not always be exact replicas from the pictures depicted on our website. We receive items from multiple vendors, causing there to be slight differences in color, box design, etc. between the items depicted, and the items received.
We reserve the right to modify pricing at any time, up or down.

This includes product pricing, as well as shipping and handling prices.

Some items do not have a set shipping and handling charge. It will be calculated after the order has been boxed and prepped for shipping. Which at that point, that charge will be added to your parts total and captured in your order total.

International Shipping will always be calculated after the order has been received, to provide the most accurate shipping and handling charge for the order placed.
All sales on electrical parts are final. We cannot accept returned electrical parts.
No refunds on books, video tapes and special-order items.
We reserve the right to charge a 15% restocking fee for all NEW condition parts that are returned for the following reasons:

– Incomplete returns

– The buyer changes their mind about their purchase

– No longer needed/wanted

– Bought by mistake

– Better price available elsewhere

Applies to Parts Orders for up to 30 days after Delivery ONLY.

Parts must also be in packaging suitable for resale.
There’s a 15% restocking charge on all uninstalled transmission and torque converter returns, plus you must pay all freight charges for the return. If you have an issue with the purchased transmission or torque converter, please contact our team and we will discuss if a repair, or if a return is in order. Contact us at 318-742-7784 or 318-550-5732, to discuss your transmission or torque converter issue.
If you cancel a transmission order before it has shipped, you will be charged a 6% processing fee for time and efforts lost, due to the fact of each transmission being built for the customer’s specific needs. You do have 48 hours only, to cancel a transmission order, before the 6% processing fee becomes applicable.
Shipping costs are not refundable under any circumstance.

If there was an error on our part concerning your order, or you receive a defective part, please call us at 1-888-877-1008. We will then walk you through filling out the Merchandise Authorization Form with the appropriate information, and which actions will be taken next.

Applies to Parts Orders for up to 30 days after Delivery ONLY.
All parts returns must have the Merchandise Authorization Form filled out, and included in the package, for the return to be processed. We reserve the right to refuse any, and all, returns, without the proper return form included.
Refunds will be given only in the same manner as original payment. This means if you paid via PayPal, we will refund you via PayPal. And if you paid via card payment, a credit will be issued on the same card that was used to make the purchase.
Torque Converter Core Refunds:
You will only be eligible for your Core Refund if the same type of core has been returned to PATC.
The core sent in has to be a replacement / equivilant for the core which was used for your order*.
For example: if you ordered a 6L80E converter, you must return a 6L80E converter core to receive your Core Refund.

*Unless otherwise specified during the time of sale.
If you have a converter core not equivilant to the converter you need to order, please reach out to our sales team for options.

**We will not be held responsible for any extra charges incurred due the incorrect core return.

We reserve the right to not refund your Core Refund, and charge it as a Core Charge instead if the proper core has not been returned to PATC within 6 months of your order’s delivery.
If you receive a damaged package, please keep all the packaging.

The shipping carrier or the freight company will need photo documentation to inspect, when we file the claim.

Please inspect your package immediately upon receipt. Examine the box for any visible outside damage, as well as the parts inside for any hidden damage that may have occurred during shipping.

Please take multiple photos of all sides and angles of the box. As well as the contents and the shipping label.

In the rare event that your package is damaged in transit, you must contact us at your earliest convenience. That way we can 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.

Sometimes more information or photos are required, so it is very important that you retain all packaging until the claim is settled.

Please call us for instructions on how to proceed. 1-888-877-1008.
If you have any questions or issues with your parts once you receive them, please call the PATC Parts Department at:

1-888-877-1008, Monday – Friday, 8am – 4.30pm Central Time.

You have 30 days from the day you receive your order to report any issues.

We appreciate your business! – The team at PATC Transmission Center.net
