Where can I find your Freight/Shipping Policy?

Our freight policy may be found on the freight policy page. Click here to go to it.

What is the freight cost to ship my order?

If your order does not include any board over the size of 33 ˝ x 45 ˝ select UPS in the shopping cart as the shipping method. These freight charges are computed from a freight matrix based on the total dollar value of your order.

If your order includes any board over the size of 33 ˝ x 45 ˝ your order must ship by common carrier / truck. Your freight charge for your entire order will be $125.00 anywhere within the continental U.S. This is tail gate delivery to either your loading dock or curb side only. These charges do not include any additional charges for inside delivery or other special fees charged for other delivery options needed to make your delivery. There is a service charge of $35.00 for "Call Ahead" service.

Custom orders and graphics orders are not included in our free shipping program.

Orders totaling $1,200.00 shipped within the continental United States ship for a flat shipping fee of $50.00. Orders over $1,200.00 with "Call Ahead" service will pay a flat shipping fee of $85.00.

What is your Return / Cancellation Policy?

Orders for stock items can be canceled up to 48 hours after your order has been placed or as long as the item has not been crated and / or shipped from the factory. Custom items such as Conference Cabinets, Fabric Bulletin Boards or other modified products can be canceled as long as production has not begun on the item. Once the item is started, finished or shipped it cannot be canceled because it was created specifically for you. Custom items include Conference Cabinets, Enclosed Bulletin Boards with fabric or lighting, Custom sized whiteboards, chalkboards or others and any item to which you are adding an accessory.

MyWhiteboards.Com will accept any "stock" item back for credit if it has not been used and is returned in the original shipping carton with the original packing materials within a period of 10 working days from time of receipt.

A return authorization number must be obtained from OptiMA customer service prior to any returns being sent. You can reach customer service toll free at 866-366-1500. Please have your order number and or invoice number ready to assist them in locating your paperwork.

There will be a 20% re-stocking fee. The units will have to unpackaged, cleaned, inspected and repackaged in a new carton prior to being resold to another customer. This fee also covers the paperwork necessary to create the original billing and then the follow up credits, etc. associated with your return.

The customer is responsible for all freight charges. This includes both inbound to your location and outbound back to the manufacturer. The items must be shipped back to the manufacturer Freight Prepaid by the customer. No Freight Collect Shipments will be accepted and the shipments must be insured for the full value of the board. Customer service will provide you with the proper address.

Once the items are received, inspected and found to be in good order, a check will be issued for the amount of the items less the 20% restocking fee and outbound freight. We do not issue a credit to your credit card. Credits of this nature are too difficult to track and can take up to 2-3 months to appear on your credit card statements where as a check can be sent out very quickly and be tracked quiet easily.

If the items are damaged in transit by the carrier the bill of lading will be signed for as “damaged” during inspection prior to receiving at the factory and you will be able to file a claim with the delivering carrier for the full cost of the items damaged.

Custom orders are not returnable. This includes the custom length Opti-Rite materials, 5', 6'tall, 8' tall boards, enclosed bulletin boards or letter boards with custom fabric backgrounds, fabric bulletin boards and many other items. It is best to check with customer service prior to ordering if your item is considered a custom unit. We will always provide fabric samples, etc. free of charge so that you know exactly what you are receiving prior to ordering.

What is your average lead time?

Our normal lead time for magnetic items and accessories is usually 3 to 5 business days to leave the factory.

Our normal lead or production time for boards to leave the factory is 10 to 15 Working Days. You need to add transit time to your location.

Quick Ship: Some of our boards are denoted as Quick Ship. Quick ship means that the item should leave the factory in 2-3 working days. Quantities on Quick Ship items may be limited by the factory. Quick ship items are not guaranteed to ship in this time frame.

Summer months are extremely busy for board manufacturers due to an increase in summer purchasing for schools. At this time of the year you may experience an increase in lead-time on your order. We do our best to build our inventories before the rush season begins. Please plan accordingly.

If you have a combination of both "Quick Ship" and Non-"Quick Ship" items your order will be held until it can ship complete unless you are willing to pay the freight for two separate orders.  We will not pay freight on a split order regardless of the dollar volume if you request a split shipment.

 

What if I don't have a credit card and want to order using a purchase order?

We accept purchase orders from Schools and government offices ONLY.  You can choose to Pre-Pay your order by choosing "Pre-pay by corporate check" in the payment options.  We will e-mail you a copy of your invoice and you can Pre-Pay for your order with a Money Order, Cashiers Check or Company Check.  We will process your order as soon as we receive your payment.

Is there a charge to change my order?

You can change your order unless it has already been started in the production sequence. Once your order has been started you cannot make any changes unless you are willing to pay for production materials already used to produce your order.  There is a flat $10.00 fee for any changes made to your order.  This includes changes sizes, frames or shipping address.

When is my credit card charged?

Your credit card is charged when we process your order. This typically occurs shortly after you submit your order. You will receive a confirmation number on screen and a separate email with your confirmation and receipt.
