Introduction

At A Little Tuning Co., we strive to ship all in-stock orders within 4 business days of your order being placed. In the event of a backorder or out of stock item, we will do our best to contact you in a timely fashion with an estimated ship date for the item(s) on backorder. Some items are noted as special-order or require lead-times, so please keep the stated lead times in mind when ordering those products. To ensure the fastest delivery of your order, some items may be drop-shipped to you from a third party or shipped in a separate package.

Backorders

Backorders will be shipped when they become available. In order to secure the soonest available part, your order may require prepayment. Orders paid first will receive products first. If you have any questions regarding the status of an order or the availability of parts, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Website Shipping Charges

A Little Tuning Co.nz's webstore estimates shipping costs to the best of its ability using standard shipping company data bases and dimension data that is entered. All shipping costs are not final when an order is placed, and once final package dimensions are calculated off the actual physical shipment, then and only then are shipping costs finalized. Customers are responsible for paying the cost of shipping and delivery, not A Little Tuning Co. Should additional funds be required to ship the final, actual, physical package, those will need to be collected before the package can be shipped. All A Little Tuning Co..com shipping prices charged and quoted on web orders are only estimates, the customer is responsible for paying all delivery costs for orders.

Special & International Orders

Special orders, 034EFI ECUs, harnesses, ECU packages, and fabricated parts must be paid in full, in advance and are non-refundable. All payments are made in NZD. Foreign currency equivalent is determined by your creditor or bank and may include surcharges. Shipping charges and any special handling charges will be added to the total. All duties and taxes applicable on the purchase are the responsibility of the customer. You shall keep a proof of your payment of duties and taxes and provide us with a copy when requested. You hereby grant the right to A Little Tuning Co. to charge any unpaid duties and taxes presented to us by the shipper, including a $25 processing fee on your behalf.

Cancellations

So long it has not shipped, an eligible order can be cancelled.
