Shipping your order:
TireExpress.com offers great discounts and fast delivery. To help insure on time delivery at reasonable prices, we may use a variety of shippers including UPS, DHL. Fed Ex Ground and The US Postal service depending on the customers shipping location. UPS will not deliver to APO, FPO or PO Box #. All deliveries must be within the Continental US. If you place an order online to ship to an APO address, we will automatically add freight up to $10 to cover the cost. If the cost is higher than $10, we will contact you before shipment to confirm the total amount.
TireExpress.com will in most cases process your order the same day it is placed. Orders will most likely be shipped the next business day if placed after 1pm EST. on weekdays, or any time on weekends or holidays. Delivery times vary depending on the availability and the location from which the merchandise is shipped and are not guaranteed. Smaller orders with items like tubes and tire irons will generally ship from South Carolina and may take a couple days longer.
If you need an item by a specific date, please make sure to order well ahead of time and you may call our customer service department the next business day after you place your order so we know that you have a deadline. Most TireExpress.com orders are processed and delivered within an average of 2 to 3 business days. (Sorry, but since we don't personally deliver the tire, we do not guarantee delivery times. They are based on averages given to us by the various delivery services.)
Delivery times can be affected greatly by manufacturers availability, the warehouse your order is shipped from, and the delivery location. The 2-3-business day average is not a guarantee and we do not give reimbursement for shipping charges on orders that are not delivered within the average time frame. They are based on averages given to us by the various delivery services.
Orders are processed only after credit card information has been verified and approved. Please make sure to provide a good e-mail address and phone numbers where you may be reached throughout the day in case we need to contact you. The verification process can cause a delay and we will not be held responsible for any delays.
On-Line In stock Information
On line tire stock status information is based on inventory feeds each evening from the various shipping warehouses we use to process our orders. If a tire shows in stock, this means it is available in one of our shipping warehouses but not necessarily one that is within 2-3 days average delivery of your address.
Items that show available 7-10 days are items that are temporarily Out of Stock at a shipping warehouse but which we believe will be in stock shortly. If there are any longer delays on your order we will contact you via email or phone to notify you. After you place your order you may call our customer service to verify availability and delivery times.
Exchanges: You may exchange all merchandise (excluding all Special orders, Opened Electrical or Mounted products ) that is unused, never installed, and without damage to the manufacturer’s original packaging, for merchandise of equal or greater value within 30 days of the date you received it. Any unused or leftover credit will be applied to your customer account with us and will be valid for use within one year. Any balance due or shipping fees from merchandise exchanges will be charged to the original order’s credit card unless you include another payment method.
4 Choices for Exchanges:
1. The standard exchange reshipment fee for all orders is only $6, which covers returns processing/inspection, standard ground delivery and order processing from our South Carolina warehouse.
2. Factory Direct shipment: the exchange fee is $12 to have your exchange shipped directly from the manufacturer to speed up the turn around.
3. Place a NEW order for exchange and then refund the original order when returned = $12
4. Place a NEW DROP SHIP for exchange and then refund the original order when returned = $18
Please keep in mind, due to oversize charges on large items: Givi, Tires, large windshields, heavy and oversized items will have $10 to $30 each, deducted before the available credit is applied to the new exchange order.
If you place a new order for an exchange and your original order is returned and is not in acceptable condition, it will be refused and sent back to you. So, PLEASE make sure you have properly packaged and cared for your returned merchandise.
Warranty Procedure:
TireExpress.com cannot be held responsible for any manufacturer's defects or warranties and will not be held responsible for mounting, balancing or shipping fees associated with any defective products. However, we are happy to assist you if you have a problem involving a manufacturer's warranty claim.
If you experience any product failure that you believe is due to a manufacturing defect in your tire or any other products purchased from us, please call us. Manufacturers warranty procedures vary. In some cases you may be directed to contact the manufacturer directly. In others you will be instructed to ship back the items pre-paid (customer pays shipping) with the return authorization and a copy of the invoice and the proper information detailing the specific problem(s) with the item. We will then process the claim with the manufacturer. If another item is needed in the interim, you can purchase a replacement item, pay for shipping and we will credit your account for the defective item when and if the manufacturer approves the claim. The credit will be posted as soon as it is received from the vendor (this typically takes about four weeks).
Note that manufacturer's warranties are primarily for manufacturing defects only and not for road hazards or abusive/unusual riding habits, damage caused due to improper mounting and/or balancing, or mileage claims. Manufacturer's warranties do not provide reimbursement for mounting, balancing or shipping fees.
Damaged Packages:

Therefore, we reserve the right to refuse large orders that we believe are directed to dealerships, independent repair shops and wholesalers.
Prices listed on line are for Internet orders only. Prices on telephone orders may be higher. You are strongly encouraged to place your order on-line as this reduces our cost, which we pass on to you in retail savings.
Ad Pricing Policy:
Our magazine ad prices are the lowest available at the time they are submitted to the magazine. However, due to the large lag time before the magazine actually reaches the customer, some prices may need to be changed. Price changes are caused by a rise in the manufacturers price to us, or other variables which maybe beyond our control. In most cases, we will still offer our customers the lowest price on the tires and deliver them to your door within an average of 2-3 business days.
Errors and Omissions:
Occasionally a price or description may be posted in error.
