Terms & Conditions

Please read each section carefully!

OUR MISSION

The mission of Suarez International USA, Inc. (Suarez) is to provide our customers, students, and forum participants with the best customer service and quality products while supporting an avenue for the exchange of the highest level of reality-based training information possible. To help us achieve this mission, we have posted our terms and conditions, which we strictly adhere to.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding any of these policies, as well as how they may relate to you and your particular situation, please contact us.

ELIGIBILITY.

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to purchase Products, register with or otherwise use the Website. By using the Website, you represent and warrant that: (a) you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (b) all registration and listing information you submit is truthful and accurate; (c) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; (d) you are 18 years of age or older; and (e) your use of the Website does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

WEBSITE CONTENTS.

Occasionally there may be information on the Website that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing and/or availability. Suarez International reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your order). We apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause you.

HANDLING OF CUSTOMER ORDERS

All orders are charged when they are received, regardless of lead times.

New Customers – In an effort to curtail fraudulent purchases, Suarez has instituted a new policy. New customers must use the same billing and shipping addresses. If you DO place an order with a different shipping address, please explain the reason for the request in the notes section of your order. You will be contacted by our Customer Service Department to verify the validity of your order and review your payment information for correctness before your order will be released for processing. If you cannot provide proof that you are the cardholder and that you have a legitimate reason for using a separate shipping address, your order will be cancelled.

Also, for protection against fraudulent orders, it is against our policy to change your shipping address after an order has been placed and approved by our system. The changing of shipping addresses after ordering is a very common Fraud Tactic. Please be sure of your shipping address and that it will not be changing soon prior to placing your order. Should you need to change your shipping address after you order, please be prepared to prove that you have a legitimate reason for using a separate shipping address.

Information for your order is generated via Big Commerce.  However, order updates are done through the order and shipping application Ship Station.  The two programs do not communicate status changes of the order outside of the order being placed and subsequently shipped.  If you would like an update on your order, please contact customercare@suarezinternational.com

SHIPPING CHARGES AND INSURANCE

Our shipping rates come directly from a portal connection with both USPS and UPS. We do NOT make a profit on shipping charges. If an additional fee has been added to your order, it is most likely Insurance for either high dollar, easily damaged, or for items that are often the target of package theft.

If you do NOT want insurance charges added to your order, you will need to put the following statement in the Notes Section of your order: I DO NOT WANT MY PACKAGE TO BE INSURED AND I EXCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS, THEFT, OR DAMAGE RELATED TO THE DELIVERY OF MY ORDER. Insurance charges will be removed prior to charging your card.

Shipping selection guarantees that we will ship your item by your selected method when your order is complete!

Shipping costs are based on the volume and weight of the package, not its dollar value. Many products have been selected by Suarez International to ship via First Class US Mail. Suarez International reserves the right to determine the best shipping method to use in some circumstances, including orders that qualify for free shipping.

ITEM AVAILABILITY AND LEAD TIMES

Since March of 2023, we have become a two man operation, not including our part-time shipping guy.  During times of High order volume, products may take several days to leave our facility.  Please do not contact us if our order is less than a week old.

We do keep most items in stock, but we cannot possibly stock everything in our catalog. Some of our products are stored at a remote warehouse, but those items are transferred in several times a week and should add no great delay to the shipping of your order.

Custom gunsmithing, milling services, custom assembled products, finishes and engraving are all performed AFTER your order is placed with us. See each individual product description for the expected lead time on these types of items or contact us for an estimated ETA. Please note that, If your product requires more than one custom service, the expected lead times for each service will apply.  All finishes are performed in batches, so while a raw product may be in stock it may be waiting on a batch so that we can keep costs low for customers,

ETA’s given on items not in stock are subject to change depending on manufacturer, back-orders, allocations, delays, quality control failures, etc. We cannot be held responsible for longer than expected ETA’s on ordered items.

We are closed on the weekends so our employees can spend quality time with their families. Sorry. We are NOT Amazon. (Nor do you want us to be!) Orders placed after hours on Friday or over the weekend will be worked on in the order they were received on Monday. And yes, Mondays do get rather busy around here! Please don’t place your order over the weekend and ask for tracking numbers on Monday. Aint happening!

Please be mindful that there are extended lead times from November through January due to the holiday season, winter storms, Shot Show and the NRA Show.  This is nothing new, it happens every single year, so the more you bother us, the longer it will take for us to get to your order.  Plan your purchases accordingly.

Average finish lead times (once a batch is sent to the appropriate facility):

Melonite: 2-4 weeks

Cerakote: 4-6 weeks

NP3(TM): 6-8 weeks

 

APPROXIMATE LEAD TIME FOR CUSTOM FIREARMS WHETHER SUPPLIED BY US OR THE CUSTOMER IS 120 DAYS.  PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL US PRIOR.  THERE'S TWO OF US, WE CAN ANSWER EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS OR WORK ON ORDER FULFILLMENT.

FFL, FIREARMS, and CUSTOM GUN MODIFICATIONS

Please read the Shipping Policy for information about FFL controlled orders.  We are a two man operation, we do not have the time to spend the day chasing down FFL's for you.

We understand that you may not have chosen an FFL Dealer to have your FFL Controlled Order shipped to when you originally place your order. Please use your own address as usual and have your FFL Dealer send us their Certification as soon as possible. We will modify your order to include the FFL Dealer’s name and address for shipping purposes.

Please have your FFL Dealer send us a copy of their Certification EVERY TIME YOU ORDER A FIREARM. We are required to check their certification every time we ship. Your FFL Dealer will need to send us a copy of their valid and current certification to FFL.suarez@gmail.com.  We do not maintain copies of FFL licenses for reuse as they do expire and can be revoked by the ATF.  Please be sure to get us a certification as soon as possible as we can not ship your order without it.  Not the FFL's name, not their phone number email, or FFL# alone, we need a copy of their license.

Please be advised that there are no cancellations on firearms purchases, for any reason, this is stated in the product description of every firearm/FFL required item, that you agree to during checkout..  We went through the process of obtaining/building it for you, if you decide you don't want it, you can sell it on your own time.

CALIFORNIA – No Pistol Frame Only or Receiver Only Sales. If you are in California, your order will be canceled. Don’t blame us. Take it up with your State. Complete Pistols may be legal, however, depending on how they are configured. YOUR FFL DEALER WILL KNOW WHAT YOU CAN OR CANNOT HAVE SHIPPED TO THEM.  **AFTER JULY 1, 2024, THERE WILL BE NO MORE FIREARM SALES TO CALIFORNIA UNTIL THE TAX BURDEN IS REPEALED.

APPROXIMATE LEAD TIME FOR CUSTOM FIREARMS WHETHER SUPPLIED BY US OR THE CUSTOMER IS 120 DAYS.  PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL US PRIOR.  THERE'S TWO OF US, WE CAN ANSWER EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS OR WORK ON ORDER FULFILLMENT..

 

CANCELLATIONS AND RETURNS

Once orders are placed and begin the process of being filled, they may not be changed or cancelled for any reason. Our system does not save your credit card information and does not allow us to add to existing orders. If you forgot to order an item, please place a NEW order. You may add notes to the new order requesting that we combine your orders. We will make every effort to comply with your request and will adjust shipping charges whenever possible.

Note that Returns or Cancellations are not allowed on all Firearms, Slides, Custom Products, or Services. Custom Products include any product that is assembled, built, or finished according to the options you have chosen. Such options include, but are not limited to size, color, configuration or attachments. Please be sure BEFORE you order as THESE SALES ARE FINAL AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE.

IMPORTANT: Suarez Products are engineered and manufactured specifically to work optimally with both Glock OEM Products and with other Suarez Products. We cannot guarantee safe, reliable performance with any other companies’ after-market products. If you install Suarez Products along with other after-market products and find that they do not function properly together, it does not mean there is anything wrong with our product(s), simply that the specs and design of your other after-market products do not align optimally with the specs and design of our quality engineered product(s). Remember - once any parts are installed on a weapon, they are non-returnable, so consider your purchase carefully if you intend to use Suarez products with other manufacturers’ products.

THERE ARE NO CANCELLATIONS ON FIREARMS/FFL ITEMS.  This is stated in the product description of every firearm and FFL required item that has been posted on our website.

Requests for return must be made within TEN DAYS OF PURCHASE. Please inspect your items timely. The items must be in New, Re-Sellable Condition. Your return will be inspected prior to the issuing of any refund or replacement. Once any parts are installed on a weapon, they are non-returnable and non-refundable.  Unless it is determined that the product is defective, Closeout Items are NOT eligible for return or refund.

Items returned for reasons OTHER THAN defect, warranty, or any error made on our part, as well as cancellations by buyer, are subject to a 25% restocking fee. Refusal to accept warranty repair or replacement of Suarez parts constitutes acceptance of this fee.  We have devoted time and resources to filling your order as well as having incurred Credit Card Processing fees associated with your order. If you ordered incorrectly, have simply changed your mind, or simply do not like the product, it is only fair that we recoup some of our costs associated with your purchase.   Note: We do not refund original shipping costs or return shipping.  ALL refunds are subject to the 6% Credit Card fee charged by the credit companies.

UNSOLICITED RETURNS WILL BE REFUSED.

RETURNING AN ELIGIBLE PRODUCT FOR REPLACEMENT, SUBSTITUTION, OR REFUND

Should you decide you would like to return eligible items for replacement, substitution, or for refund, please contact our Customer Service Department within 10 Days of Purchase in order to obtain 1) a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) and 2) A Customer Return Agreement.

RMA’s DO EXPIRE. Please ship your return back to us by the expiration date listed on your Return Agreement. All returns must have the RMA # clearly marked on the outside of the shipping container and must be accompanied by a Signed Customer Return Agreement. Returns that are NOT accompanied by the signed Customer Return Agreement will be held without inspection until the signed agreement is received. Payment for return shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Purchaser will also be responsible for any additional shipping charges related to reshipping for any replacement or substitution product(s).

All returns will be inspected prior to replacement, substitution or refund. Triggers are eligible for replacement or repair only.  Due to liability, once installed and used, triggers are not in a resellable condition.  Clearance and Closeout items are not eligible for refund.  You will be notified of any reshipments when they occur. If you are returning product(s) for refund, please not that it may take several business days for your refund to appear at your bank.
