Damages and shortages must be noted along with your signature. In order to receive a refund or exchange for damaged or shorted items, you must contact Customer Service at 1-800-621-1563 within 48 hours of receipt. For more information, review our Return Policy.

  • Do you offer rush shipping?

    All orders received by 2pm CST ship the same day.

All freight charges for rush delivery orders are paid for by the customer. In order to get an order rushed, or to confirm expected lead time, contact Customer Service at 1-800-621-1563 or info@rubber-inc.com.

  • What locations do you ship from?

    Stock orders ship from our distribution centers located in Chicago, IL, Durand, WI and/or St. Louis, MO.

  • What destinations do you ship to?

    Rubber Inc. currently ships to any public street address in the 48 continental states. Orders cannot be delivered to PO Boxes.

    In rare cases where the delivery company is not able to complete a delivery due to accessibility, we will attempt to notify you and help arrange for you to pick up the order at the carrier's nearest terminal. Orders may be held for reasons including, but not limited to, inaccessible destination address, incorrect contact information or an insufficient address. You will be responsible for any storage costs, redelivery charges or other fees that may result from holding the order at the terminal.

    Each order may only have one "ship to" address. If you require multiple "ship to" addresses, please order separately for each address. Minimum order and freight policies will apply to each order, and orders may not be combined.

  • What shipping methods do you use?

    Rubber Inc. ships orders to both commercial and residential addresses. Commercial addresses are defined as business addresses situated on commercially zoned real estate, as determined by the freight carrier. Businesses operated from a house, apartment or other dwelling are not considered commercial addresses and will be charged any applicable residential delivery fees. 

  • Will my shipment be split?

    Whether an order has split shipments depends on the items ordered and whether the product is stocked in our warehouse. It's possible that we will ship a portion of your order from a different Rubber Inc. facility to ensure you receive the order in a timely fashion.

  • What do I do if I receive a common carrier delivery?

    LTL Common Carrier delivery requires an adult signature at the time of delivery. It is that adult"s responsibility to inspect the merchandise being delivered for damage or shortage. By signing for a shipment without notice of damage or shortage, you are accepting the product in good condition. Once the driver leaves with your signature, your ability to claim damage or shortage against the carrier is significantly reduced. 

    It is also the responsibility of the Customer to have adequate help and any necessary equipment to receive product at the back of the delivery vehicle.
