Shipping Information

To find tracking information for your order, please visit the Order Status tool.
*You will need your Purchase Order ID or Havis Order ID along with your billing zip code.

As long as the order has not shipped, we are more than willing to accommodate shipping method changes. Just contact us to get started.

Havis has introduced a robust shipping calculator that automatically quotes shipping rates per order with our major Logistics Provider. This internally developed software determines actual product dimensions and weights per orders. In addition, the software takes into consideration which building the items ship from and the shipment method selected, which will ensure the most accurate rate possible, using real-time rates. All Shipping costs will be automatically calculated at the time of Order Entry and will appear on the Sales Order Acknowledgement. All prices are F.O.B. Origin. Freight is billed to the customers and will be shipped “best way” unless otherwise specified. All air, ocean, and ground international freight shipment requests will be made on a freight collect basis only. Customer’s freight company name, phone number and account number is required when applicable.

Minimum order: $25.00 net. Terms: Net 30 days on pre-approved credit accounts.

Packaging: Partial shipments will be made unless otherwise specified by the customer. In addition, products can be bulk packaged or assembled as complete units. Primarily orders are bulk packaged unless custom packaging is requested when placing an order. Custom packaging may incur some additional cost.

Order Issues

If you are missing any components from an order, please first check the paperwork and shipping cartons. The bottom of the packing list shows the number of boxes/pallets that were shipped, so make sure that number equals what was received.

Often, bagged hardware is either zip tied directly to each part or included within the shrink-wrapped package.

Boxes that are shipped out will have either a “carton contents” label or a “part ID” label. A carton contents label displays the entire sales order in label form and is adhered to the top of the box. This label is used when there are multiple items inside a box. It will list the quantity of each part that is inside that particular box, and there will be a 1 of X number of boxes field at the bottom.

A part ID label is used when there is just one part inside of a box.

If you are still unable to locate components, please contact us.

In order to trigger a prompt and detailed response for order or installation questions, please provide your order number, reseller name, product part number(s) and any other helpful information. Also refer to the installation instructions, owner’s manual and/or parts breakdown to be sure of the issue.
