Q: How fast is my order processed?

Under normal circumstances, orders are processed the same or following day, Monday through Friday during typical business hours. All orders placed Saturday or Sunday will be processed on Monday, with the exception of holidays.

Q: When will my order ship?

All shipments leave Monday through Friday. Since some orders are drop-shipped from other suppliers, we cannot guarantee same or next-day shipments. However, most shipments will leave within 1-3 days. If there are any known delays, we will let you know as soon as possible.

Q: What shipping options are available?

We ship primarily through UPS, however, some shipments may be shipped by US MAIL or motor freight carriers. Grain Drying Solutions reserves the option to choose the best carrier available at the time of shipment. All orders must ship to physical addresses. WE WILL NOT SHIP TO PO BOXES. While we do offer express service, you may need to contact us before ordering to get a shipping quote.

Q: How much is shipping & handling?

Shipping is determined using UPS rate calculations. In some cases (Alaska, Hawaii), the rates may be inaccurate and we recommend contacting us prior to ordering. Shipments over 150 lbs. or dimensionally too large to go by UPS will be sent via LTL truck freight and will require a quote prior to processing.

Q: Do you ship outside of the USA?

Sorry, we currently do not ship outside of the USA. Canadian customers please call for 855-DRY-GRAIN for more information. When shipping to Alaska or Hawaii, the UPS rate quoted during checkout is only an estimate and is subject to additional shipping charges that will be charged to your credit card. If you would prefer your Alaska, or Hawaii order sent via Priority Mail please contact our Customer Service department at 855-DRY-GRAIN. Our team is available Monday through Friday 7am - 5pm Eastern Time or contact us on our online contact form.

Q: Do you ship to Freight Forwarders?

No we do not. There are no exceptions.

Q: When will I receive my order?

While many orders will ship directly from one of our warehouses, we do drop-ship from other suppliers. We do our best to only work with suppliers that can fulfill our orders efficiently, so most orders will leave within 1-3 business days after processing. Standard ground shipments will take 1-5 business days to arrive, depending on which continental state you ship to (a business day is a non-holiday weekday, weekends are not counted). Expedited shipments will arrive in the amount of business days you select, plus the processing time, prior to shipping. Please allow extra time when shipping to remote rural areas and during peak holidays. When your order ships, we will send you a Shipping Confirmation email with a tracking number and direct link you can use to track your order. If you placed your order via the telephone and did not provide us with an e-mail address, please contact customer service if you do not received your order within 10 business days.

Q: What happens if my shipment is damaged?

If your item arrives damaged, please notify us within 24 hours. You must retain all packaging in order for a claim to be filed with the shipping company. In many instances, it is best to take a picture of your damaged item and its packaging.

Q: Do you offer expedited shipping?

Yes. You can choose 3-Day, 2-Day or Next Day service for an additional charge. The expedited shipping duration does not include the time to process your order. Please refer to the Shipping Estimate feature in your cart screen, after adding your items, to estimate the amount of your shipping cost. If actual shipping rates are higher than the what the cart quoted, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss any additional charges.

Q: Can I have my order sent to more than one address?

Each order can be sent to only one address. If you are purchasing several items to be shipped to different addresses, you'll need to place a separate order for each different shipping address.

Q: What could cause a shipping delay?

Wrong address or zip code used for the shipping address.

When the shipping company can't deliver your package and they send the packages back to us, we will contact you via email or phone for correct address information.
Unforeseen circumstances at our business.

Q: Delays by shipping companies

Your shipment could be temporarily lost or misplaced by the shipping company. If the delay is deemed unreasonable, we will ship you a replacement order. If the original package does show, it is your responsibility to help get that package back to us. If the package is not returned in a reasonable amount of time, you will be charged for it, plus the shipping cost.

Q: Delays during holiday seasons between Thanksgiving and Christmas

Shipping companies often do not guarantee any shipment a couple of weeks before Christmas. Please allow extra time for deliveries during this time. You can also contact us for expedited shipping options.

Q: Item is on backorder

We will contact customers via your email in case the product you ordered is on backorder and will be delayed. If you have other items on your order that are not on backorder we may ship items separately, backordering the unavailable items.

Q: Undeliverable packages (orders returned to us)

Packages that are returned to us by the U.S. Postal Service or UPS and marked as "Unclaimed", "Return to Sender", "Attempted Unknown", "Refused", or "Invalid Street Address", will be credited back to the customer's credit card on file, less the shipping and handling fees and a 15% restocking fee.

Q: Billing address information is inconsistent with what is on the credit card record

To protect our customers against credit card fraud, we will call, email or use other ways to verify that the credit card holder authorized the purchase. The billing address MUST MATCH the records at the card issuing bank or we will not accept the order.

Q: Restocking Fee

Returns are subject to a 15% Restocking Fee.

Q: How do I return items?

All returns must be within 30 days and be approved by Grain Drying Solutions prior to shipment. All approved returns will be issued a Return Authorization number and must accompany the returned goods. A 15% restocking fee will be applied to all returned goods. All returns must be in new condition and be returned with original packaging.

Q: Return Shipping Costs

Return shipping is the customer's responsibility unless it was an error on behalf of Grain Drying Solutions.
