Fast Service

CST and fast service are synonymous. We carry a full inventory and can therefore ship your order complete within 48 hours. On the rare occasion we are temporarily out of an item, we will hold your order no more than 3 days if we know the item is in transit to us. If it will be longer, we will backorder (BO) only if we will be able to ship within 30 days. If, for any reason, the lead-time is longer, we will show the item as temporarily out of stock (TOS).

Ordering and Payment Information

In the USA and Canada, you may phone your order by dialing 661-822-4162 or on-line at www.cstsales.com. All other international orders must be submitted via our website at www.cstsales.com and paid via credit card. We accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and PayPal in US dollars. Customs, duties, brokerage and related charges are the responsibility of the customer due to the carrier upon delivery. Wire transfers add $50 (India $75) to cover bank charges. Your order will not ship until we receive confirmation of receipt of funds from our bank.

CST processes credit card transactions when the order is shipped so we can accurately include the exact shipping charges including on-line orders via the shopping cart. A copy of the invoice will be provided with your order so you know exactly the amount charged to your card. If you need an estimate prior to shipping, please call customer service, send an e-mail or request the total be e-mailed to you when we ship.

Method of Shipment

Shipments will be routed by most economical carrier unless otherwise specified.

Oversize containers may ship by dimensional weight depending upon the total shipping weight. Our shipping department will package and ship product as economically as possible while trying to protect the product from damage in transit.

The maximum length of an international package to most countries is 40 inches (some countries are 39 inches) for Priority Mail. This may require that we fold or cut materials to meet package restrictions. We will honor your requests within shipping requirements whenever possible. If an airmail package becomes lost, tracking is very difficult and time consuming. International shipments cannot be traced for 90 days after shipment by airmail. All postal charges must be prepaid and billed to the customer.

Hazardous Materials

Some items are classified as ”hazardous material” by the Department of Transportation. Hazardous materials are shipped via FedEx GROUND service for an additional fee depending upon the hazardous classification. Also, some hazardous classifications require special packaging and/or boxes that may incur additional charges. Regulations and charges related to these materials are subject to change without notice. Hazardous shipments CANNOT be returned for any reason. If the parcel is damaged when received from the carrier, refuse the shipment and/or note damage with carrier.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available on all products required by law to have such documentation. Upon request, we will forward a copy for specific products at the time of shipping, by mail or by fax. MSDS is included with all hazardous shipments.
