Returns Policy

You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. We'll also pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.).

You should expect to receive your refund within four weeks of giving your package to the return shipper, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper (5 to 10 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).

Orders that require calibration (or NIST) are non-returnable and non-refundable

If you need to return an item, please Contact Us with your order number and details about the product you would like to return. We will respond quickly with instructions for how to return items from your order.

What options do I have for Shipping?

97% of all items in stock ship the same day we receive your order. If the order arrives too late to be processed before final pickup, or if you're ordering from us for the first time, your package may not ship until the next business day. All shipments are F.O.B., Houston, TX, USA, unless agreed to in writing. Our primary carrier is FedEx. Other options are available. For fastest delivery, please call your sales representative for overnight shipping options.
