Do my billing and shipping addresses have to match?

For fraud protection purposes, we require that all address information match what is on file with the credit card company. If you are shipping to an address other than your billing address, the shipping address must also be listed with your financial institution as an alternate address. This can easily be done by calling the number on your statement or the back of your credit card. It only takes a few minutes and does not affect your billing information at all. If both addresses are on file with the credit card company, you still may receive an automated email regarding verification of your address.

If this is the case, please give us a call at 480-638-5608 so that we can manually verify your addresses with the credit card company. We do have an address match department that calls banks to verify addresses daily. If your financial institution cannot verify your address with us, you will be contacted via email or phone call. If we are unable to verify your address within 7 days, your order will be canceled.


When will my order ship?

When you shop @ Boating Solutions.com you get fast service. We are committed to providing you with the fastest possible shopping experience anywhere! All in-stock items (as noted on each product page in red)placed before 12:00 pmPDT time will ship out on the same day (orders placed on the weekend will ship on Monday), and you will be emailed a tracking number by the following morning. The only exception to this is during the holiday season, when your order may be shipped the following day due to the large volume of orders we process. If there are any issues with your order, you will be notified immediately and given the proper instructions on how to expedite your order. All Uflex items ordered require 1-3 business days before shipping.

Economy
Boating Solutions is proud to offer a new shipping method, "Economy" for those price conscious shoppers out there! Available to customers in the contiguous 48 United States, a package that is shipped using Economy will be handled either through USPS or UPS. Packages shipped via USPS Priority Mail may show 2-3 Day transit times, however, these transit times are not guaranteed by the US Postal Service. Packages that are routed to you utilizing USPS are the power of the United States Postal Service and are hand delivered by your local postal carrier. Most packages are delivered in 4 to 7 days and a tracking number will be provided tracing your package every step of the way! Since this method uses USPS some packages will be delivered on Saturday. At the discretion of Boating Solutions, some orders where Economy shipping has been requested we will use UPS Ground service described below.

Expect Economy shipments using UPS/USPS to comply with the following map (estimated delivery times):
