Effective: January 1, 2026
At Garage Rebel, we aim to deliver a fast, secure, and transparent shipping experience by partnering with reliable carriers and freight providers. Please read this policy carefully before placing your order.
Shipping Coverage & Restrictions
- Contiguous U.S. (48 states): We ship within the contiguous United States.
- Alaska & Hawaii: Select products/brands may ship to AK/HI by quote. Please contact us before ordering.
- No international shipping at this time.
- P.O. Boxes / APO/FPO: Some products (including certain parcel items) and all freight shipments cannot ship to P.O. Boxes or APO/FPO addresses.
Shipping Methods
We ship using the most appropriate method based on item size, weight, and destination:
- Small Parcel (typically under 150 lbs): Carriers may include UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL.
- Freight / LTL (typically over 150 lbs): Large items (oversized toolboxes, bulky equipment, etc.) ship via freight (LTL) carriers.
Note: Some orders may ship from multiple warehouses and may arrive in separate deliveries.
Shipping Rates & Free Shipping
Shipping rates are shown at checkout and are based on the item(s), size/weight, and destination.
- Free Shipping: Many products qualify for free shipping. If eligible, it will reflect at checkout.
- Pickup (when available): Some items may offer FREE warehouse pickup (if shown on the product page/checkout).
- Accessorial Services (Freight): Services like residential delivery or liftgate may be available for an added charge (and availability depends on location/carrier). These options, if available, will appear on the product page and/or at checkout.
- Carrier Accessorial Charges: In some cases, carriers assess additional fees after dispatch or delivery (e.g., limited access, address correction, redelivery, liftgate not requested, missed appointment). If these charges result from customer-provided information or site/access limitations, the customer is responsible for the fees.
Order Processing Time
Orders are typically processed within 2–5 business days. You will receive an email notification with tracking information once your order has been shipped. Please note that some products may have a lead time (prep/production/warehouse handling), which can vary based on the item and warehouse location. Business days exclude weekends and holidays.
Order Verification (Orders $300+)
For orders totaling $300 or more, Garage Rebel may contact the customer by phone or SMS at the number provided at checkout to verify the order prior to fulfillment. This is a fraud prevention measure to protect our customers. By placing an order on GarageRebel.com, you consent to being contacted for order verification purposes. Fulfillment may be delayed up to 24 hours pending verification. If we are unable to reach you, we will attempt contact via email before releasing the order for shipment.
Order Cancellations
- Before shipment: Cancellation or modification requests must be submitted in writing to support@garagerebel.com within 2 hours of placing the order. If a cancellation request is received within this 2-hour window but the order has already entered warehouse processing, component pulling, or manufacturer staging, a standard administrative processing fee of up to 10% may be deducted from your refund to cover non-refundable merchant processing fees and internal logistics costs.
- After shipment: Orders cannot be canceled and must follow our Return Policy.
- Special Orders: Deposits are non-refundable and may not be eligible for cancellation once the order is placed.
Orders may ship sooner than expected—submit cancellation requests promptly.
An order is considered “shipped” once a tracking number (or PRO # for freight) is issued. Cancellation requests are only confirmed once you receive written confirmation from Garage Rebel.
Address Changes
For strict cardholder security, Garage Rebel does not alter or modify shipping addresses once an order has been submitted. If you need to change the delivery destination, your original order must be formally canceled within the allowed 2-hour window and a new order placed using the correct billing and shipping information. Unauthorized third-party address reroutes arranged directly with the carrier are strictly prohibited. If a shipment must be turned back or rerouted due to an uncorrectable address error after dispatch, the buyer assumes all actual outbound and return freight liabilities, alongside standard restocking fees of up to 50%.
Tracking & Updates
Once your order ships, you’ll receive tracking via email. If your order ships in multiple packages, you may receive more than one tracking number. Tracking updates can take 24–72 hours to populate after fulfillment.
- Parcel: Standard tracking number
- Freight: Tracking/PRO number (PRO #)
Delivery Scheduling
Freight deliveries are typically scheduled within a delivery window (often 2–6 hours). The carrier will contact the phone number provided at checkout—especially for residential deliveries—to schedule an appointment. Calls may come from an unfamiliar number. If the carrier cannot reach you or delivery is missed, delivery may be delayed and redelivery/storage fees may apply.
Delivery Time Estimates
(Not Guaranteed)
Delivery times are estimates and not guaranteed. The delivery time begins after your order ships (lead time may apply before shipment).
- Small Parcel: Typically 1–6 business days after shipment
- Freight (LTL): Typically 3–12 business days after shipment
Carrier delays due to weather, holidays, high volume, route constraints, terminal backlogs, or other factors may occur. Once freight leaves the warehouse, the carrier controls routing and delivery timing.
Delivery delays caused by carriers or events outside our control are not grounds for order cancellation, chargebacks, or refunds, except where required by law.
Garage Rebel is not responsible for carrier delays or delivery failures caused by events outside our control (weather, disasters, strikes, government actions, pandemics, war, mechanical and/or transport issues, etc.).
Freight Delivery Basics (Important)
Freight deliveries typically include:
- Standard freight delivery is curbside (palletized)
- Liftgate/residential delivery (when available) must be purchased separately and selected at checkout or may result in added carrier fees/delays.
- Inside delivery, stairs, placement, and assembly are not included. If the carrier driver agrees to additional services at delivery, the carrier may bill you directly.
- An adult (18+) may be required to be present to inspect and sign for delivery.
No Installation Included
Freight delivery does not include installation, assembly, placement, mounting, electrical work, or removal of existing equipment unless explicitly stated on the product page or in writing.
Customer Responsibilities
(Freight & Large Deliveries)
Access, Unloading & Equipment
- You are responsible for ensuring the delivery location is accessible for a freight truck and that you have any required unloading help/equipment.
- Unloading is the customer’s responsibility unless a specific unloading service was purchased and confirmed at the time of purchase.
- Some items may require a forklift/dock or additional labor to unload safely.
- If the carrier cannot complete delivery due to limited access, inability to unload, or missed appointment, the customer is responsible for re-delivery, storage, and/or terminal fees charged by the carrier.
Address & Contact Info
Customers are responsible for providing:
- A correct shipping address, and
- A reachable phone number/email for delivery scheduling
If a shipment is returned to sender or delayed due to incorrect contact/address information, refusal (for non-damage issues), or failure to schedule/receive delivery, the customer is responsible for any carrier fees, storage fees, and re-shipping costs.
Refused / Undeliverable Shipments
If a shipment is refused for reasons other than documented freight damage, or returned as undeliverable (due to an incorrect address, failure to schedule delivery, or a missed appointment), it will be treated as an unauthorized return. The customer is responsible for all outbound shipping charges (including the actual shipping costs incurred by Garage Rebel on items sold under a "Free Shipping" promotion), all return freight fees, and a restocking fee of up to 50% as outlined in our Return Policy.
Carrier Terminal Pickup
If delivery is scheduled for carrier-terminal pickup, the pickup date/time counts as delivery for purposes of inspection and reporting timelines.
For terminal pickup, the customer must pick up within the carrier’s holding window. Storage fees may apply after that window. Bring photo ID and inspect for damage at pickup before leaving the terminal.
Delivery Appointments
If the carrier cannot reach you to schedule delivery or a delivery appointment is missed, or delivery is refused for non-damage reasons, the carrier may assess redelivery, storage, or return-to-sender fees, which are the customer’s responsibility.
Local Requirements
Customers are responsible for any building permits, HOA restrictions, or site requirements (gate codes, delivery restrictions, etc.) that affect delivery access.
Freight Delivery Inspection
⚠️ Important: Inspect your freight shipment BEFORE you sign the delivery receipt/Bill of Lading (BOL). If you sign the delivery receipt/BOL without noting damage or missing items, the carrier may treat the shipment as received in good condition and may deny a claim. Always write notes on the BOL and take photos/video before signing.
Before signing, please check:
- The pallet/cartons for crushing, tears, punctures, broken bands, or signs of impact
- That the carton/box count matches the delivery receipt (if multiple boxes)
If you see visible damage or missing items:
- Take photos/video of the pallet/cartons, shipping labels, and damaged areas (before signing).
- Write detailed notes on the delivery receipt/BOL (example: “pallet crushed, carton torn, 1 of 2 cartons missing”) and take a photo of the signed delivery receipt showing your notes.
- If damage is severe, refuse delivery and contact us right away.
If the driver will not allow inspection, note on the delivery receipt/BOL: “Driver refused inspection” and take photos before signing.
Concealed Damage (Freight)
- Please unpack and inspect your items thoroughly.
- Report any concealed damage to support@garagerebel.com within 3 business days of delivery.
- Please keep all packaging (box, pallet, foam, straps) for inspection and provide clear photos/videos of the issue.
Damage or Missing Delivery
- If your order arrives with visible damage or items are missing, email support@garagerebel.com within 3 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) of delivery.
- Include your order number and photos/video of the item and packaging. Please keep all original packaging for inspection/claim processing.
- For freight shipments, also include the signed/annotated delivery receipt/BOL (when applicable) and any carrier paperwork.
- Claims are reviewed case-by-case and we may require additional documentation from the carrier to process a claim.
Safe Delivery Location
Customers are responsible for providing a secure delivery location. Theft after confirmed delivery (including “porch piracy”) is not considered shipping damage; however, we will assist with carrier investigations when applicable.
Risk of Loss
Once tracking shows “delivered” (or available for pickup), customers are responsible for securing the shipment and reporting any issues within the timelines in this policy. We will assist with carrier claims/investigations when applicable.
Delivered / Not Received (DNF)
If tracking shows “delivered” but you did not receive your package, we may require a carrier investigation and additional documentation (such as a signed affidavit and/or a police report, as applicable) to support the claim. Refunds or replacements are not issued until the carrier investigation is completed.
Claims for packages marked “delivered” must be reported to us within 3 business days of the delivery scan so we can open a timely carrier investigation. Claims reported after 3 business days of the delivery scan may be denied by the carrier and may not be eligible for refund or replacement.
Carrier investigation timelines vary and may take several business days. We cannot expedite carrier investigations.
Product-Specific Shipping Requirements
Certain heavy equipment or oversized products may require a commercial delivery address, a forklift, or a loading dock to safely unload. Any such requirements or potential remote-area delivery surcharges will be explicitly clearly stated directly on the individual product page prior to purchase.
California Proposition 65 Notices
Certain products shipped to California may include Proposition 65 warnings shown on the product page and/or on product packaging.
We reserve the right to update this Shipping Policy at any time. Changes apply to new orders placed after the effective date.
