BuyHeatShrink.com Shipping and Ordering Policies
About Us
At BuyHeatShrink.com we specialize in sales to distributors and medium to large OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers). Among our largest customers are Electrical Distributors and car, truck, boat and airplane manufacturers. We will be happy to customize your order, whether it is custom cut lengths, barcode labels or blind drop shipping, just let us know. We’ll be happy to help.
Customer Service
The Customer Service department at BuyHeatShrink.com is open Monday-Friday from 8:00a.m. - 5:30 p.m. (EST). We do at times answer the phone after hours, so please don't hesitate to pick up the phone and call us if you have questions. Online orders can be placed anytime, day or night, 7 days a week.
Minimum Order Value
At BuyHeatShrink.com, we have tried to keep our minimum order value very low. We have a $10 minimum order for orders placed on our website. In most cases, this is not an issue since most of our spools cost more than $10. If this is an issue, please let us know, and we will be happy to refer you to one of our distributors. If you are a return customer, and need us to waive this minimum for any reason: just give us a call, we’ll be happy to try to help you out.
Payment Methods
BuyHeatShrink.com accepts online payments with VISA, Mastercard, American Express and Paypal. Corporate and Government credit cards are also welcome. We will also accept Money Order payments sent prior to us shipping the product. Our minimum order for credit card purchases is $10.
Customers wishing to open a corporate account must first get approved for terms with us. Do this by selecting “Money Order” as the method of payment and faxing your credit references to 888-619-2010. In order to get set up on payment terms (i.e. Net 30) with us, we require a minimum first time purchase of $200. This helps us cover the costs of setting up your account, establishing credit, etc. (note - If you wish to purchase less than $200 from us, you can still do so with a credit card (the minimum for credit card purchases is $10.)
Please note - credit cards for all orders for cut pieces, PVC heat shrink, and Bentley Harris Protection Products will be charged at the time of order. All orders for PVC heat shrink, cut pieces of any tubing (except 4 foot pieces when they are the standard put-up), and Bentley Harris orders are non-cancellable, non-returnable

Privacy Policy
Like you, we value our privacy on the internet. It is extremely important to us that your privacy is protected. At BuyHeatShrink.com, we take every necessary step to make sure you are comfortable with how we operate our business. Information that we collect from you, including but not limited to your e-mail address and personal information will be used solely for the purposes of fulfilling and tracking your orders. That's it. Your information will not be given to or sold to any outside parties.
Security
We are also very serious about Security. We understand that your credit card information is very important. That is why all of your transactions go through a secure server. Look for the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) symbol at the top of the payment pages. Also, on Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, you will see a "closed lock" or solid key at the bottom of your browser window. Always (on this site or any other) look for these symbols before entering your credit card information. If you still have concerns about credit card security online, please feel free to call us to place your order.
We hope you have a pleasant experience shopping with us!.
