Ordering Terms and Conditions & Shipping and Payment Information
30-Day Moneyback Guarantee on Most Items!
Since many of the items we sell are technical in nature we want to personally make sure you get what you need to do the job right. Careful ordering of our products can save you from going on the service call with the wrong item to fix the problem and help avoid return shipping costs.
If you have technical questions on any of our products, our sales and support staff are available by phone 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM CST, Monday to Friday. Call us at (630) 980-7710, there's no complicated IVR system, or long hold times, you'll speak to a "real live" person when you call.
Some of the products we sell seem straight forward but there are little things that would prevent them from working in a particular application. If you're not sure if something will work for your application, we recommend calling and talking to our sales department to walk through your application.
We try to catch potential ordering errors, but we also have a 30-day moneyback guarantee on most items (except custom built items or items ordered in large quantities).
Items must be returned in new condition with packaging or may be subject to a restocking fee depending on the condition of the return. We don't refund shipping costs, and return shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser.
If you need a lot of something, order one or two to make sure they'll work for your application before you order a lot. Large and custom orders are non-cancellable and non-returnable.
If a product arrives broken or defective, we'll advance replace it during the first 30 days (in most cases). After that we'll fix or replace it during the product's warranty period. Unless otherwise noted, our products come with a 1 Year Warranty.
We primarily take orders over the phone at (630) 980-7710. We also accept order requests at sales@sandman.com but may still need to contact you to confirm missing information if your request doesn't have everything we need to process the order.
If your order is URGENT, we recommend calling to confirm, even if you send an emailed order request. We ship In-Stock items the same day as long as the order is received by 3:00 PM CST.
Call us at (630) 980-7710 to place your order or check status. We're open from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, Chicago time (CST).
We ship primarily by UPS, we can ship some small items by Priority Mail. We can also ship on your FedEx or UPS account if desired.
We accept Master Card, Visa, American Express, Discover and PayPal.
