Cookies

Cookies are not necessary to view our web site or buy things through our shopping cart. Cookies are tiny pieces of information stored on your computer that keep track of items in your shopping cart. If cookies are enabled in your browser, they are used to keep track of you during the shopping experience. If cookies are not enabled, we use your IP address for that purpose. When you first click an [Add to Cart] button, our software sets a cookie to associate you with a particular shopping cart.

When you enter your shipping and billing information and click “Submit This Order” to complete the order, ShopSite sets another cookie. This cookie contains the billing address (and the shipping address if a separate one is used) that you used. It does not contain any credit card information. This cookie is set to expire December 30th of the calendar year following the year the order is placed. If you return to the store from the same computer within this time, ShopSite will detect and read the cookie and you will not have to re-enter the address information. If cookies are disabled in your browser, this "memory" feature will not be available to you.

No Minimum Order

There are no minimum order dollar amounts or piece quantities on products normally stocked in our warehouse. For products that are not normally stocked, or that are custom or customized there may be minimum order dollar or piece amount.

How to Order

We have five types of products and services

1. Off-the-shelf, ready to ship. These products have prices and “add to cart” buttons on their web pages. To buy these, you add them to your shopping cart by pushing the “add to cart” button, choosing the shipping method, and proceeding to “Checkout.” This takes you to the secure area, where you can put in your confidential information.

You can abandon your order at any time. You can even decide to cancel the order after submission and before shipping by calling us at 801-764-9060, 9062, 9063 or 9064 or e-mailing us at the link listed below. We try to ship within the same working day, so don’t wait too long!

Payment for off-the-shelf products is usually by credit card or paypal. If you want to pay by check or wire transfer please call our sales department to order.

2. Semi-custom. These are off-the-shelf products that need new connectors, voltage adjustment, or some other shop work to prepare for you. You need to call us at 801-764-9060, 9062, 9063 or 9064 to order. Payment for these products is usually by credit card, wire transfer, paypal, or check in advance.

3. Custom. The most common custom products are custom battery packs. Since these are made specifically to your specifications we require payment in advance. Other custom manufacturing terms are based on a formal quote or negotiated terms.

4. Special order. Many of our web pages contain products that are not off-the-shelf because they are not in current production, need custom modifications for individual needs, or are future off-the-shelf products in development. Call us to discuss these products.

5. Engineering, consulting. custom designed power supplies, etc. These products need to be discussed with our sales department.

Encryption: When ordering on-line all of your private information is encrypted on our server using state of the art encryption methods.

Sales Tax

Only Utah residents need to remit 6.25% sales tax. PowerStream does not remit sales tax to states other than Utah. Any sales tax due that is not collected by PowerStream is the responsibility of the customer.

PRICE AND/OR DESCRIPTION CHANGES All prices, pictures and descriptions on this site and all other PowerStream publications are subject to change. PowerStream maintains no responsibility for inadvertent errors. In the event of typographical errors on our site or in our publications, PowerStream reserves the right to cancel or refuse orders at its sole discretion. Please contact us within 30 days regarding price or promotion discrepancies.

PowerStream is not liable for errors in prices listed on the site due to computer error or human error.

Shipping Policies

We normally ship via UPS. For APO addresses we ship USPS. All transactions are in US Dollars only. Items are individually assigned appropriate shipping costs. Shipping costs appear when you add an item to your Shopping Cart.

Shipping times are only estimates and are not guaranteed. We cannot control occasional inventory shortages, shipping carrier delays, customs delays, weather delays, and other factors that can delay your shipment. However, we will do our best to get your product to you as soon as possible. We cannot ship on weekends and holidays when UPS does not pick up

On orders requesting Next Day Air or Second Day Air Shipping, all items in stock will be shipped immediately as requested. We cannot ship on weekends and holidays that UPS does not pick up. All back ordered items will be shipped upon arrival. This will also apply to back orders going to Hawaii or Alaska. Any other foreign order will be held until it can be shipped complete unless otherwise requested.

Freight Damage

If you receive merchandise that has been damaged in transit, it is important to keep the shipping carton, packing material and parts intact. Please contact a PowerStream Customer Service representative immediately to initiate a claim.

Order Fulfilment Policy

Most in-stock items are shipped within the same business day. Orders received by 3:00 PM Mountain Time can be shipped overnight or two day. After 3:00 PM if you are in a “world of hurt” you are welcome to call and impose on the good nature of our staff, but we can only do what is possible.

For out-of-stock items, you will be notified of any delay. If we cannot deliver your product within 30 days, we will contact you and give you the opportunity to cancel your order. You must pay all orders in advance (at the time of order), even for out-of-stock items.

For "not-stocked" items different policies apply. Some products normally take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver, mostly batteries and battery packs. These times are clearly stated on our web page, and you must deal directly with a sales engineer by phone, FAX or e-mail to order (in other words you can't order on the on-line shopping cart). These orders are usually non-cancelable even when they are late, since there are many factors outside our control.

Return of Merchandise Policy (RMA)

Please allow us 5 business days to respond to RMA and order status requests. You MUST have an RMA number to return any merchandise for any reason.

Special order products

If Product is Defective:

If you receive a defective item, simply call us for help. If you are unable to contact us by phone, send us an e-mail and we will provide an RMA. Please note that you must return all packaging, manuals, and items included in the original box, along with a detailed explanation of the defect, within 30 days.

PowerStream provides a warranty on most of the products we sell. However, for some products, such as batteries we cannot accept returns. Since we are an engineering company, and our purpose is to help product development engineers develop products, custom batteries that are made for this purpose have a warranty that they meet the drawing electrical and mechanical specifications when shipped. We will make exceptions to this policy when reasonable because we are reasonable people.

If Product is Resalable:

If the product is off-the-shelf and in its original packaging, we will exchange it within 30 days (excluding batteries). If you would like a refund, you will receive a full one, minus a 15% restocking fee. All purchase exchanges and refunds are minus tax and shipping. Please be sure to include all original packaging materials and instructions.

If the product has been assembled, painted, altered, or does not contain all of its original packaging, this is not a resalable item.

Exchange Policy

You MUST have an RMA number to exchange any merchandise.

Our exchange policy is the best on the net! Anything you purchase from PowerStream can be exchanged up to 30 days after the date of purchase! What that means to you is that you have all the time you need to make sure it is exactly right for you. (Items returned for exchange must be in resalable condition.)

We want you to feel totally satisfied when you order products from PowerStream. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, send us an e-mail, so we can resolve any concerns. You will be asked to follow these simple steps:

   3. Include a copy of the original invoice. On the back of the invoice, please write your name, e-mail address, phone number, and the item(s) you would like to receive in exchange for the return. Please also tell us the reason for return so we don’t have to waste our engineering time testing it to see if it is resalable
