Shipping Guarantee

If you place your order on our web site before 2 p.m. Mountain Time Zone in the USA (GMT -6 hours), we'll ship it out that same day, or we'll refund you half of the shipping cost.

Exclusions and additional conditions (I hate having to add conditions, but I think you'll see the logic in them):

1. The orders must be placed by phone or via our web-site store, because we keep our site up to date on back-order status. Obviously, I can only guarantee to get it out that same day if we have it sitting on our shelves. Therefore, the guarantee does not apply to fax orders (such as school purchase orders or vendor orders).

2. The guarantee does not apply to reloadable or loadable motors. We are required by law to verify the person purchasing the order is 18 years old or older. This delays things because of the time it takes to contact the customer to get the ID. We will still make every effort to get it out the same day if we can. To assist us, the first time you order a reloadable motor, you can automatically fax a copy of your ID to 719-534-9050, so that there is no delay!

3. Orders that come in over the weekend or postal holidays will be shipped the next business day.

4. PayPal eCheck orders are also excluded, because there is a waiting period for the check to clear before we can ship. This restriction is waived for our Rocket Rewards customers. To find out how to become a Rewards customer, click here.

How to Order?

For speed, convenience and security, we urge you to use our secure shopping cart system whenever possible. For mail or fax orders, please download the online order form. Item prices are clearly posted on our web site for each product we sell. If it is not listed, the item may be on back-order. The order form may be mailed or faxed to us at (719) 534-9050.

Make checks payable to "Apogee Components". We ask that you provide payment in the form of a money order whenever possible. Apogee reserves the right to delay orders paid for by personal check to allow sufficient time for processing. No Stamps or C.O.D.'s accepted. International orders must be paid via credit card, an International Postal Money Order, or with a check drawn against a US bank. Click to see the shipping fees.

If you have any questions, please call our customer service line: (719) 535-9335.

Schools wishing to use a purchase order: All orders must be in writing (we cannot take the PO number and the order information over the phone). Please fax, email or mail the order information to us on your school's official P.O. letterhead. Make sure there is an "attention to" name or department on the shipping address, to prevent the shipment from being lost or delayed at the school. Also include the name, email and home address of the teacher so we can contact you if there are any problems with the order (we have had a hard time tracking teachers down at school, so we request a home address too - all information is kept in the strictest confidence). Our fax number is: 719-534-9050.

Shipping Information (How Items Are Shipped):

USA Purchases: In order to keep costs down, Apogee Components uses the United States Postal Service to ship out most packages. Unfortunately, there is very little tracking that can be provided. We can offer you "Delivery Confirmation" for most domestic packages for an extra fee of 75¢. Sometimes (when the postal service feels like it), this does provide a location of the package. If you would like this additional service, please add it to your shopping cart when checking out.

Apogee uses "Priority Mail" for most packages within the USA. Generally, the shipping time is around 3 or 4 days after it leaves our warehouse. If the package is under 12 ounces, it is classified as "First Class Mail". The delivery time is approximately the same as for Priority Mail. For larger packages, UPS may be used. If you are unsure which method may be used, please provide both USPS and UPS addresses, or make a note in the comment field to specify. IF YOU HAVE A STRONG PREFERENCE ON SHIPPING METHOD, PLEASE LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENT FIELD. We will contact you if there will be additional costs involved.

Rocket motors are shipped via the Postal Service "Parcel Post" (ground transportation). This is a federal law, and there is NO way we can ship them by aircraft to get them to you faster. We really wish we could, but it is a law we cannot break. Shipping times for Parcel Post can range from 5 to 15 business days. If you wish to split up the shipment so the motors are sent separately, please let us know in the comments section of the order form. Additional shipping fees will be charged for this service, and we'll let you know prior to shipping the packages what they are. This is recommended if your rocketry project has a fast-approaching deadline. We do now also offer FedEx Ground Hazmat shipping, for which delivery is usually within 1-6 days of ordering. See HAZMAT shipping below for details.

Military APO addresses: YES, we can ship to you. The exception is rocket engines, which we cannot ship to APO addresses. Why? Because APO mail is sent by aircraft via Priority Mail and rocket engines cannot be transported by aircraft (it is a federal law... sorry).

The shipping fees for APO addresses will be the domestic charges listed in the chart below.

International Shipments are sent via "Air Mail." If you wish to expedite your order, please let us know in the comments section of the order form. Additional fees may be added for extra services.

Additionally, rocket motors cannot be shipped outside the USA.

It is our policy to let you know via email when your order shipped, and by which method. Please make sure your email address is correct when placing your order.

HAZMAT Shipping:

Even though they are not classified as explosives, all Cesaroni and several Estes motors currently require shipment through a certified HAZMAT carrier (such as FedEx-Ground, or UPS-Ground). This is because the motors either contain more than 30-grams of propellant, or because they are not certified to be shipped through the US Postal Service.

Both carriers require the motors be marked as HAZMAT, and because of that, they charge a $25 per box HAZMAT fee. Unfortunately, we cannot do anything about this, even if you order just one single motor. Sorry, but the the per box fee is the same.

Because of this, it makes sense to order as many large motors as possible to leverage the HAZMAT fee. You may ask your friends in your club if they would want to go in with you on your order to minimize the effect of the HAZMAT fee.

The good news is that FedEx-Ground and UPS-Ground are quicker shipping boxes to you than is the government. And it is far easier to track it trough the system from our dock to your front porch.

When you order these motors, you will automatically be charged one HAZMAT fee per box. Most boxes can fit 6 motors in them, although in the shorter sizes we can fit more. If additional HAZMAT fees are required, you will be contacted by our staff. If you have any questions, you are welcome to call us at: 719-535-9335.

NOTE: We cannot ship HAZMAT outside of the United States, to Hawaii, Alaska, or any US Protectorate.

Actual Customer Comment:

"I had played with the RockSim Demo for several days and liked it, so I decided to buy it.. Had a couple of hours today before work, and came up with 3 nice designs in that time.. Wish I'd something like RockSim when I was a teen... (grin) You have a very useful and very easy to use program!!" -- Dale Upchurch
