Shipping

FREE STANDARD SHIPPING (4-6 Business Days) is automatically applied to all orders - no coupons or promotion codes are required. Not valid for over sized items. Only to US addresses.

We currently ship to US and Canadian addresses. If you'd like for us to ship products outside of these areas please Contact Us.

When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page.

Please also note that the shipping rates for many items we sell are weight-based. The weight of any such item can be found on its detail page. 

When choosing your shipping please be aware that we do not ship on weekends or federal holidays.

Returns Policy

If you are not completely satisfied with a purchase you made, we are happy to accept a return. You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a refund. Items returned must be unopened in their original condition.

Return shipping costs will be the responsibility of the customer.

Include proof of purchase (receipt, invoice, order confirmation page, order details page, order emails) inside the package to help us process your return quickly. We accept returns from purchases made on steelshad.com only. If any expedited shipping costs were paid for by the customer at the time of placing the order, that amount will be included in the total refund amount.
