Freight Policy: All shipments are F.O.B. Shipping Point (Origin), from Denver, Colorado. Shipping charges are pre-paid and added to the invoice unless other arrangements are made by the customer prior to shipment.

Quality Certificates: Many Eldon James materials meet USP Class VI and FDA requirements. Certificates of Traceability and/or Certificates of Conformance are available. Requests for certificates must appear on the purchase order (a line item entry is preferable).

Returned Goods: Products are not returnable after 30 days. In order for Eldon James to maintain lot traceability integrity, the following categories of products are non-returnable: All Flexelene™ Tubing, all fittings with the letters NN, NK, NK7, PP, HDPE, PC, PS, E8402, CVU & MN in the suffix, and all ‘antimicrobial protected’ products. It is impossible for us to guarantee lot and job traceability once these products have left our facility. ‘Special orders’ and custom manufactured products are non-returnable unless defective. Please call prior to placing an order if you have questions about returning specific products. We will gladly provide samples for determining fit and form functionality.

Returns Procedure: Contact customer service for a Return Authorization Request Form. RGA numbers must be clearly visible on the outside of the return carton. Returned product is subject to a 15% minimum restocking fee unless it is defective.

Export Orders International: It is generally easier and more economical to work with a distributor when making purchases outside of the USA. Distributors provide value-added customs and freight experience and will often stock parts based on a customer’s needs.

Special Payment Terms Conditions: International shipments must be paid for in advance by wire transfer or credit card (authorization required prior to shipment). Please provide us with a Fed Ex or UPS account number. Shipments are easier to track if the freight account originates in the country where the shipment will be received.

Customs: Custom’s fees vary considerably between countries and shipments may be delayed by several days for processing. Eldon James provides commercial invoices, USMCA and other documents required for international shipments; however, customers are responsible for any charges assigned by customs that are added to their shipment. These charges are frequently added at the destination. Before placing an order, please check with your country’s customs office for information regarding additional charges.

Freight Forwarding: Use of a freight forwarding service is recommended for all large shipments. Forwarding services can economize on shipping costs by grouping deliveries to common destinations. Freight forwarding companies also have experience with customs clearing and international shipping requirements.

Payment on Export Orders: Invoices may be paid by: 1) Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit cards – authorization required 2)Payment by check drawn from an account at a US bank (denominated in US dollars) 3) Wire transfers in US Dollars are also welcome – bank charges are the customer’s responsibility.
