Q&E Auto Parts Frequently Asked Questions.
Shipping Time:If you placed an order for an item with 24 hour availability, your total delivery time would be 1 to 2 days processing + 3 to 10 days shipping time (depending on where you live). In other words, on the average, you could expect your package to be delivered within 5 to 12 business days from order date.

Partial Shipments: We make every effort to ship all products in a single shipment. If, for any reason, we cannot ship one or more items due to backorder, we will ship the parts that are available and credit your account accordingly. If a small item (e.g. corner lights, mirrors etc.) from a large order (e.g. orders with hoods, bumpers or whole front end kits) cannot be shipped, credit may only be for the part without an adjustment in shipping. This is because shipping charges is based on the dimensions of the box.
