- How shipping costs are calculated.

RF Parts Company determines its shipping costs based on zip code groups that fall under "zones." RF Parts Company is located in San Marcos CA, which is in San Diego County. Immediate surroundings are "Zone 2" and it expands throughout the US all the way to "Zone 8" The price of shipping starts at a flat cost and increases according to weight of the products being ordered.

Saver shipping method is mainly shipped out using USPS (Postal) or Fedex (One Rate). To keep the cost low for this shipping option, there are limitations on which orders can use this method. The weight limit for this method is 2 pounds, and the price limit for this method is $400.00.

After 2 pounds most orders will not fit in the given USPS box or Fedex (Pad Pack) and a custom box is used. The basic USPS shipping methods are only insured up to $400.00.  For orders exceeding $400.00, we have eliminated this shipping method. Orders exceeding 2 pounds or $400 USD, we recommend using another shipping method.

Standard shipping method is calculated based on weight / dimensions vs destination of the customer's order. The more a product weighs, the more it costs to ship to you. Location is the next biggest factor in determining price of this method. Shipping prices are based on zip code ranges, if you live in a rural area, or in a further zone, the cost of shipping increases. The standard shipping method is a safe, efficient way to get your order in a timely manner.

2-Day and Next Day shipping methods are calculated the exact same way as the Standard shipping method. These options just guarantee you will have your order in 1 to 2 working days depending on the option you choose.

RF Parts Company ships by FEDEX, UPS, or USPS to most countries. Please check with FEDEX, UPS, or USPS for countries they service.

*The Standard and expedited shipping methods are typically shipped out via FedEx or UPS.

Lost or damaged packages

Once an order has left RF Parts Company we are no longer responsible for the condition of the package in transit. RF Parts Company is not responsible for delayed delivery times, or slow delivery service. The time estimate given in each method is just an estimate. There are many factors that can delay or slow down transit time that RF Parts Company has no control over.
Please make notes of your tracking number when emailed to you, or by logging into your account and checking your recent orders. If you have a lost or damaged package, please contact the shipping carrier and file a claim according to the carrier's specifications. If you are still having issues after you have contacted the shipping carrier, please contact RF Parts Company Customer Service (760)744-0700 ext 301, ask for Bonnie, and we can help with your claim.

Tip: Choosing the Standard Shipping method will ensure if your package is lost or damaged that the claim will be handled faster than choosing Saver Shipping method. We use UPS and FedEx to ship Standard Shipping methods, claims filed to these carriers are handled quicker than claims filed to USPS.
