RECEIPT OF DAMAGE PRODUCT?
If you receive a part that is damaged, you must sign for the shipment as "received
damaged". The shipping company will then be responsible for the damaged part. After
signing for and receiving the part, contact our customer-service team by phone (800-616-1489),
and a member will assist you with the damage claim and part replacement process.
Please have your invoice number available when you call or email us.

WHO RECEIVES MY EMAILS?
E-mail requests will be sent directly to our expert customer-service team to be
answered. Requests should include detailed questions about part orders, or inquiries
for parts that either do not have a part interchange, or are not ordinarily in inventory.
Please be as detailed as possible, and make sure to include the VIN, name of the
part you are looking for, and any other relevant information that may be useful.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have - our goal is to assure that the part
that you get is the part you need.

CAN I ARRANGE MY OWN SHIPPING?
Please allow us to select delivery method / carrier. It has been our experience
that LKQ can provide better service for our customers when we package items, decide
shipping method, and coordinate freight pickups. We have selected our commercial
carriers very carefully in order to provide the best USA coverage and care for our
products. Buyer/Customer can not arrange there own commercial shipping when purchasing
items off eBay or online. Please do not ask us to bill your shipping account or
use another carrier. Thank you for your consideration.

WILL YOU SHIP FREIGHT ITEMS TO CANADA OR OUTSIDE THE USA?
LKQ Online will only ship to the "lower" 48 states. At this time we can not ship
to Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, or Alaska. Additionally, we cannot ship
overseas. We hope to have this ability in the near future. All sales are made in US dollars.

WHAT METHODS OF SHIPPING DOES LKQ ONLINE USE?
The first method of shipping LKQ Online uses is UPS ground. We ship over 75% of
our items via UPS ground. We do not use USPS therefore we will not ship to a PO
Box or APO address. There is a small chance ground packages will ship FEDEX. Do
not ask us to use another carrier. Our shipping departments are setup to use only
UPS. When items are larger we will use LTL Freight Carriers. Motors, transmissions, seats, set of wheels and tires and other oversized parts will be shipped using commercial
freight. The costs to ship these types of items start from $100 and can exceed $1,000
for complete engine with transmissions. In most cases these items will be placed
and banded on 4x4 or 6x6 pallets and covered or wrapped. We must ship these parts
to a commercial address with docking and forklift capabilities. If you do not have
this available, we can ship the items to the closest freight terminal to your zip
code. We do not ship to residential areas. You must supply your phone number, name
of business and address of business. If you do not supply this your order will be
delayed.

WHY DOES IT COST SO MUCH TO SHIP AN AIRBAG?
Air Bags are considered
a HAZMAT item, and require special packaging to ship. Air Bags can be combined for
shipping (up to 2 per order) ONLY IF they are coming from the same location. If
they are coming from different locations, WE CAN NOT COMBINE SHIPPING. Air bags
typically do NOT include the module unless otherwise stated.
LKQ can not ship airbags to PUERTO RICO, HAWAII, ALASKA, NEWYORK STATE, CANADA OR ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF THE
CONTINENTAL USA. No air shipments are allowed.
To learn more about the reasons for the high cost of shippping an airbag, visit DOT.Gov.
