ThreadToolSupply.com's FAQ is a list of the most common questions and their responses as they pertain to ordering, account, contact, shipping and return information.

Ordering

Does ThreadToolSupply.com accept phone, fax, e-mail or snail mail orders?
Orders may be placed online or by telephone.  Faxed or e-mailed purchase orders are acceptable if they are followed up with a phone call to provide payment information.  We do not accept "snail mail" orders.  Please note that all telephone orders are processed the same as online orders.

I think I may have inadvertently placed a duplicate order.  What should I do now?
Call ThreadToolSupply.com Customer Service at (888) 835-0868, Option 3.  We will void the order for you as long as it has not yet been shipped.  If duplicate orders have been shipped, please let customer service know and they will advise you with the best next step to take.

How can I check my ThreadToolSupply.com order status online?
Go to My Account at ThreadToolSupply.com and log in using the e-mail address and password associated with your ThreadToolSupply.com order.  Once inside the "My Account" page you can click on the order you'd like to check on and you'll be given the status of the items in that order.

Can I add, change or remove items from my order after it has been submitted?
If you would like to request a cancellation of an item after the order has been submitted, please call Customer Service at (888) 835-0868, Option 3.  Once our warehouse has shipped an order, products cannot be added or canceled.  A new order will have to be created or an RMA issued to return a product.

How long does it generally take to process an order?
We make every effort to ship Next Day and 2nd Day Air orders the same day if placed by 1pm CST.  Ground, 3 Day Select and Priority Mail orders generally ship within one to two business days.  We do everything in our power to meet or exceed the time frames shown, however, unforeseen circumstances may cause temporary delays.  Orders are not processed or shipped on Saturday or Sunday, except by prior arrangement.

What happens if an item is backordered?
ThreadToolSupply.com tries to accurately estimate ship dates on a product by product basis, but occasionally products will be on backorder from the manufacturer.  If this is the case, ThreadToolSupply.com can ship the item as soon as we receive our shipment from the manufacturer or cancel the order and issue a full refund depending on your preference.

What happens when an item is out-of-stock?
Not all products listed on our site are immediately available for shipment.  We do our best to accurately estimate when items will ship from our facilities.  If a product is out of stock lead times may vary.  A ThreadToolSupply.com Customer Service Representative should be able to help estimate the delivery time of a product based on warehouse and manufacturer information, and from there the customer can figure out whether they can wait or would like to cancel the item.

What payment methods does ThreadToolSupply.com accept?
ThreadToolSupply.com accepts all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express & Discover. 
We also accept money orders, cashier’s checks, personal checks, and company checks in U.S. Dollars only.  Orders are processed upon receipt of a money order or cashier’s check.  Orders paid for by check will not be shipped until the check clears.

Does ThreadToolSupply.com charge sales tax?
Only if the products purchased are being shipped to or billed to a Wisconsin address.  ThreadToolSupply.com is located in Wisconsin and therefore these orders are subject to sales tax.

My company is tax exempt, how can I purchase products without tax?
If you are a tax-exempt government agency or have a reseller's permit in Wisconsin, please fax the appropriate documentation to (888) 835-0868 and call Customer Service at 888-835-0868, Option 3 so that a ThreadToolSupply.com representative can set up your account accordingly.

Why would my credit/debit card be declined when I know for certain that I have the funds available?
A credit card can decline due to an incorrectly-entered credit card number, an address mismatch, an incorrect expiration date, a daily limit, insufficient credit or other reasons.  The most common reason is an incorrect billing address - please make sure that the address you enter is where the credit card statement is sent to.  Contact your credit card company for more information.  Please note that authorizations that have been declined, may take 24-48 hours to drop off of your pending transactions.
