Customs

When ordering from columbiasafety.com, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which you are receiving the goods.

Your privacy is important to us, and we know that you care about how information about your order is used and shared. We would like our international customers to be aware that cross-border shipments are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities. Also, we are required by law to provide certain order, shipment, and product information to our international carriers. Our international carriers, in turn, communicate this information to customs authorities in order to facilitate customs clearance and to comply with local laws.

Temporarily Out of Stock Items

It is our policy to delay orders that include temporarily out of stock items until new inventory arrives.

We make every effort to ensure that new inventory arrives in a timely fashion. Delays are typically under one week, but can be up to 10 business days or longer.

Lost Orders, Cancellations, and Returns

Lost Orders

Contact us immediately if your order does not arrive according to our published delivery estimates . We will trace your shipment and report back to you by the next business day.

It is our policy to replace, at our expense, any order that is lost in transit. We do not replace lost or stolen orders that are received by someone else on your behalf.

Missing or Damaged Items

Contact us immediately if any of the items in your order are missing or damaged. We replace all damaged or missing products by standard delivery, at our expense.

Cancellations

If you want to cancel an order after the transaction is processed, contact us between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday, Pacific Standard Time.

Please have your InternetSecure sales order number and receipt number on hand; this will speed up the cancellation process. Your sales order and receipt numbers are automatically sent to your registered email address when your order is processed.

Although we will do our best to cancel your order, our ability to do so depends on when the order was placed; therefore, we cannot make any guarantees.
