- Order Acceptance and Cancellation
- Pre-Orders: Powerbilt may offer Products on a pre-order basis, prior to the official release date. The release date is the date the Products is available to ship. We make our best effort to meet these release dates, but they are subject to change based on manufacturing schedules.
A credit card is required to place a pre-order, but if you decide to place a pre-order, your credit card will only be used to obtain authorization from your credit card company for the total amount of the order (including any applicable shipping charges, taxes and fees). Your credit card will not be charged until your item is ready to ship (so please be sure your card is not due to expire between the time you place your order and the time your item is expected to ship). If you wish to add items to your pre-order, please do so by placing a separate new order for the additional items.
To make changes to your pre-order, please email us at support@powerbilt.com. We will do our best to accommodate your change request prior to fulfilling your order, but we cannot guarantee your change request will be made before your order ships.
- New Orders: Orders for in-stock Products will be processed upon Powerbilt successfully receiving and accepting your order. At that time, your payment will be collected and we will make our best effort to ship your order within 3-business days. An email notification will be sent to you confirming your order and providing you with an order number. Once your order has shipped, an email notification will be sent to you providing shipping and tracking information.
Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept, decline or limit your order for any reason, whether or not your credit card has been charged. If your credit card has been charged and your order is canceled you will receive a prompt refund credit to your account.
Once an order has been placed, it cannot be cancelled unless the shipment is unavoidably delayed. In this case, we will do our best to cancel the order if requested.
We are a seller to end user customers and do not accept orders from dealers, exporters, wholesalers, or other customers who intend to resell the Products and services which are offered on our site.
We make every effort to maintain the availability of our site. However, should we experience technical difficulties, we are not responsible for orders that are not processed or accepted.

Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and, unless otherwise agreed by us in writing, payment must be received by us prior to our acceptance of an order. Federal, state or local taxes are not included in Powerbilt’s prices, and will be added to the purchase price, where applicable. In such event, you agree to pay said taxes or furnish evidence of exemption.
We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards for all purchases. You represent and warrant that: (i) the credit card information you supply to us is true, correct and complete; (ii) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit card company; and (iii) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices, including all applicable taxes and fees, if any.

To reflect the policies of the shipping companies we use, all weights will be rounded up to the next full pound.
Please note the posted shipping time frame may be listed on the individual Products page and may vary from item to item.
