Completed Returns
Q: I completed the Returns form, when will I get my money?

A: Once you have completed the Returns form you will receive your product return information via email, this can take 3-5 business days. Simply follow the detailed instructions as outlined. It can take up to 6 weeks, from the date you ship your return, for the credit to appear on your credit card statement. First, the warehouse must receive the returned product, and then it must be checked to insure the item is in re-sellable condition or if it needs to be re-boxed. It is at that time that our accounting department will process a credit with your credit card company. Even after we process your credit, it can take your credit card company 1-2 weeks before the credit appears on your account. On average, this entire process can take 6 weeks to complete.




Contact Sales
Q: I have a question before I place an order, how do I reach your Sales Department?

A: For pre sales customer support, you can contact us by using the "Pre Sales Questions" option at the bottom of our Store Policy page.




Contacting Customer Service
Q: How do I reach your Customer Service department?

A: Most customer service related questions can be answered using this FAQ. Other questions can be answered using the Topics list at the bottom of the Store Policy page.




Credit Card Disputes and Charge Backs
Q: I decided I did not like the product I purchased several months ago so I just filed a dispute with my credit card company, now what happens?

A: We have a 30 Day no hassle return policy and it appears you have gone way beyond this time limit. When you placed your order you agreed with the Store Policies terms and conditions of your purchase. Of course you have the right to contact your credit card company, however, if you attempt to misuse their services by filing fraudulent and false claims and are able to have your money refunded we are obligated to enforce the terms and conditions of this purchase.

We will show your credit card company proof you agreed to our Store Policies and that we delivered as promised. We will then file a complaint with your credit card company for the misuse of their terms. If your credit card company finds this to be true they then have the right to cancel your credit card and demand payment in full.

If we are forced to find other means to recover our money you will receive a Demand for Payment letter and have 10 days which to pay in full. There will be an additional charge of $25 for processing this demand. If we do not receive this payment this matter will be turned over to a collection agency.

We will then file a fraud report with the FBI, Internet Fraud Complaint Center and the National White Collar Crime Center. We report your IP ADDRESS (recorded when you placed your order) as well as the ship to information including telephone numbers used to commit this crime. We also will direct this information to the appropriate law enforcement and regulatory agencies in your home area.




Failed Confirmation
Q: I just placed an order online but I never received a Confirmation Receipt, why?

A: Either you mistyped your email address on the order form or you failed to add InternetPioneering.com to your approved email domain list. Please add the domain InternetPioneering.com to your spam-filtering agent so that we can send you a copy of your order. AOL users need to make sure you do not hit the "Report as Spam" button. For Earthlink and other users that require the sender (that would be us) to respond to a link and type in the 'code' before the email is passed through, sorry we can no longer respond to these requests. So be sure you add the domain InternetPioneering.com to your approved email list!

After you have added us to your approved email list, you may then contact us using the "Other" option at the bottom of the Store Policy page. Tell us you want to verify the email address you supplied with your order and that you need a copy of your order. We will update your records so that you will receive all follow-up emails, such as tracking information, etc.




Gift Certificate
Q: I just received a gift certificate for my birthday, how long is it good for?

A: Gift certificates and unused portions of gift certificates must be redeemed within 90 days from the date of issuance, which is the "spend by" date included on the gift certificate. The original expiration date will apply to any unused balance.

If your order exceeds the amount of your gift certificate, you must pay for the balance with a credit card. Gift certificates may be redeemed through any of the GoToAutoAccessory.com web sites, toward the purchase of products. Any unused balance will be placed in the recipient's gift certificate account and is not transferable.

Gift certificates cannot be used to purchase gift certificates. Gift certificates are not redeemable for cash and cannot be returned for a cash refund. Gift certificate cash value is 1/10 of one cent.

Gift certificates and their use on GoToAutoAccessories.com web sites are subject to the Terms and Conditions as outlined on each web site. GoToAutoAccessories.com and Internet Pioneering, Inc. are not responsible for lost or stolen gift certificates.

GoToAutoAccessories.com may provide gift certificate purchaser with information about the redemption status of gift certificates.




Handling Fee
Q: Why do I have to pay a Handling Fee?

A: Handling fees help to cover the cost of fulfillment of your transaction. Instead of adding a percentage to the sales price of each product, we add a small Handling fee for your entire order. That way your not overburden with fulfillment costs if you purchased several products or have a high ticket cost. This fee covers the cost of processing your order for shipment.

Returns Status Message 'Accounting preparing to...'
Q: My returns status message says "Accounting preparing to process credit/refund." What does that mean?

A: Your credit/refund is now ready to be processed. The last step before issuing a credit/refund will be to verify the original transaction with the credit card processor. This process can take 2-3 business days.




Returns Status Message 'Begin Processing...'
Q: My returns status message says "Begin Processing Return - Requesting RMA Number." What does that mean?

A: You have submitted your Returns/Exchange request. We have recorded your request and submitted your request to the warehouse for a Return Merchandise Authorization number (RMA). Once your RMA number is issued it will be emailed to you with explicit instructions on how and where to return your part(s). If you make your request on a Friday afternoon, you will receive your RMA return information on the following Wednesday or Thursday. It normally takes 2-3 business days to receive your RMA number.




Returns Status Message 'Credit/Refund request sent...'
Q: My returns status message says "Credit/Refund request sent to accounting." What does that mean?

A: Once your case is in the accounting department's hands, several things will happen. Your RMA information is matched with the return information provided by the warehouse. Accounting then updates your Case as "RMA verified", it then moves to another department inside of accounting. This process can take 2-3 business days.




Returns Status Message 'One or more parts received...'
Q: My returns status message says "One or more parts received in warehouse - waiting for inspection." What does that mean?

A: After your part(s) have been shipped back and received in the warehouse they have to be checked in. The inspection process verifies the product being returned matches RMA number that was issued for it. They then put the product back on the shelf (if it is re-sellable) and update the computer inventory system. This process can take on average 5-6 business days.




Returns Status Message 'Refund/Credit Processed...'
Q: My returns status message says "Refund/Credit Processed - Case Closed." What does that mean?

A: If you are to receive an in-store credit, then your credit was issued and you should have, or will soon receive, an email regarding your credit and how to use it. Your in-store credit is available to use immediately. If you were to receive a Refund back to your credit card, this has been completed through our credit card processor. It may take 2-5 days for your credit card company to apply the credit to your account. This Case is now completed.




Returns Status Message 'Warehouse inspection complete...'
Q: My returns status message says "Warehouse inspection complete and released to accounting." What does that mean?

A: This means that the part(s) indicated on the RMA number issued to you have been received in the warehouse, inspected and added back into the computer system. They then update your Case and notify the accounting department the part(s) have been returned. This process can take on average 2-3 business days.




Sales Tax
Q: Do you charge Sales Tax?

A: No, you do not have to pay Sales Tax as we do not operate retail storefronts. If you could pick up your order we would have to collect sales taxes and we don’t want to have to do that. However, you should be aware of the Tax Laws in your State, as you may be liable to report all purchases made out of State.




Terms And Conditions
Q: Do you have any special Terms and/or Conditions I should be aware of before I place my order?

A: Yes, we do and we recommend that you read and understand our Terms and Conditions before placing any order.
