FAQ Quick Links


FAQ - ACCOUNT INFO (to top)

How do I change my user information?

If you would like to change your user information, then you must first login to your registered account. Once you are logged in, this will take you to your account dashboard. From here, you can edit your billing and shipping addresses in your address book and your contact information, if any of that has changed. You will also be able to see your current order status, view past orders, and complete reorders of past items.

How do I register for an account? Do you require registration to place an order?

To register for a new account, you can click on the My Account or Log In button on the right side of our top menu bar. You will want to switch from the Login to Create an Account tab. You can also do so on the checkout page by clicking the Sign Up button. Also, please make sure your billing information matches exactly with the card you will be using to place your orders. We do allow our customers to checkout as a guest, but do highly recommend creating an account for making future orders much easier.

How do I submit a product review?

After you have placed an order with us, you will receive an email from Verified Reviews. You will get a link to review the products you have recently ordered from our website. We use a third party to ensure all reviews are from actual customers and are absolutely unbiased.

How do I use My Account?

The My Account section of barproducts.com can be used for many different things: changing your user information, checking a current order's status, and viewing and reordering past orders. Once you are a registered user, you will want to login as soon as you come to our store to shop. You can do this from any page on the website by clicking the login button in the top menu bar.

I forgot my password. How can I retrieve it?

This is no problem! We can have it reset for you. Just click the login button in the top menu bar. From here, you will find a Forgot Your Password? link where you can enter your email and we will send you a reset link.

Why should I register for an account? What are the benefits of registering?

We encourage you to register with us! Registration is not mandatory to complete checkout, but by registering you receive the following benefits:

  • Access the My Account section, where you can track current orders, view previous orders, add items to a "Wish List", and update your billing and shipping information.
  • Reorder quickly by browsing through orders you’ve purchased in the past.
  • Save Your Credit Card data for quick reordering.
  • Save and access saved designs for custom product orders.

All of the information we receive from you in the registration process is transmitted over a secure server and kept in a secure location. You can only access your information after logging in with the unique e-mail and password combination you created during registration, so you can rest easy knowing your information is safe!


FAQ - CHECKOUT (to top)

How do I place an order?

To place an order, add the items you wish to purchase to your shopping cart. On the cart page, to the left of the subtotal, you will find our shipping and tax estimate calculator. Choose your country or state, enter your zip or postal code, and then click "Estimate." This will provide the shipping costs for the items in your cart. Continue with checkout by selecting "Proceed to Checkout" and following the prompts provided.

Why can’t I proceed through checkout or make any changes on the cart page?

When this occurs, we first recommend clearing your cookies and cache for ALL history. If this does not help, we recommend using a new and/or updated browser (such as Google Chrome or Firefox).

Why is my card being declined?

For a credit card to be processed through our system, your billing address must match the information the cardholder has exactly. Please be sure that you have entered this information correctly and try running it again. If you are shipping to a separate address, then you will need to fill out that information separately.

How do I complete a PayPal transaction?

You will want to enter all of your billing and shipping information as usual. Then you will be able to choose your preferred shipping method. Click on the PayPal button and this minimizes the credit card payment box. Confirm all of your information is correct and click the Place Order button. You will then be redirected to the PayPal website to complete the payment process.

I am not seeing a shipping method?

Please double-check that your shipping information is entered correctly. Once verified, refresh the shipping section and allow a few moments to populate the results.

Can I ship using my shipping account?

We can use your shipping account to ship your order. You will need to place the order on the site and choose one of our shipping methods. Once the order is placed, you will need to contact service@barproducts.com with your account number. Then, we will issue a refund for the shipping paid on the web order.

Why is my shipping rate so high?

We are constantly working with our preferred shipping carriers to ensure the lowest rates for our customers. Many of our products are very bulky and heavy, which may increase your shipping rates. After your order has shipped, we are happy to review it and offer a refund for any overages paid.

Do you lease any of your equipment?

We currently do not offer the lease of any of our products or equipment. Full payment is needed to purchase any equipment.

Do you offer terms?

Initially, terms would be prepaid. Once you have established a prerequisite volume of business, and we see that you are ordering regularly, we will consider net terms. A credit application would need to be submitted and your references checked (net terms only apply to USA-based businesses).

Is my credit card and personal information secure when I order from your site?

Our company has made it a top priority to make sure that your personal information is secure! Your credit card information is transmitted through secure servers. You will also see the 'HTTPS' in the address bar of the checkout page, as opposed to the 'HTTP' that is normally there which provides extra protection for you and your personal information.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover cards as valid payment options. We require payment in full at the time of sale via a credit or debit card through our secure server or PayPal. In addition, for orders over $500, we do also accept alternate payment methods such as checks or wire transfers. If you are interested in paying by one of these alternate means, please contact our customer service department at service@barproducts.com. Orders will be held in our system awaiting payment for up to 30 days. Once we receive the check, payment will be held for 5-8 business days to ensure the check payment clears. The order will be released for processing and shipment after the check or wire has cleared.

Do you accept purchase orders?

We only accept purchase orders for customers who are setup on terms and currently have a designated sales representative that handles their account. For normal orders, we do not accept purchase orders.

When will my card be charged for my order?

Your card will be charged in full once you hit the Place Order button at checkout. If you wish to cancel a transaction, please let us know immediately. Otherwise, we will have to wait until the charges settle to issue a refund to your account.

Most orders placed via this website by 2 PM EST on a business day will ship the same day. This does not apply to our special order products. Our business hours are Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM EST.

What does it mean if a product is listed as Special Order?

To maximize the products we offer you, some items on our website are not normally stocked in our warehouses. This includes items that we make once your order is placed (Print to Order Products or Wood Shop Products). Some items may also be shipped directly to you from the manufacturer. These items are marked to allow “x” additional business days for production time. Please understand that Special Order items may not be able to ship same business day as our regularly stocked items. As a result, we encourage you to contact a Customer Solutions Specialist before ordering if you have questions about the delivery time of a Special Order item!

What if I can’t find the item I’m looking for on your website?

FAQ - RETURNS (to top)

How do I exchange an item?

While we're unable to exchange items, we can set up a Return Authorization so you can return the items you no longer need and place an order for new items. You can start the return process by filling out the form under our Support Ticket area.

How do I return an item?

Submit a Support Ticket to request a return.

What is your Returns Policy? Do you charge a restocking fee?

If, for any reason, you are unsatisfied with the products you received, submit a Support Ticket to request a return. Important information and instructions regarding returns are provided via RMA, and therefore are subject to RMA approval. Items sent back without prior RMA approval may be denied. Any breakage due to shipping must be reported within 3 days as we need to report it within 5 days to hold the carrier responsible. All other claims must be reported within 30 days of product delivery. Once an RMA is issued, the products must be received back to us, in their original condition, within 30 days. Returns will not be accepted unless they are complete. All original boxes, packing materials, parts, components, and pieces must be returned to us for a return to be processed. Returns will not be granted without all of the product's original packaging and parts. Refunds requested for returns are subject to a 15% restocking fee. Restocking fees do not apply to returns for exchange, ALL associated shipping fees are non-refundable, and we do not issue return labels for returns or exchanges.

What if my order is returned by the carrier?

If your order is returned by the carrier due to part or all of the address being provided incorrectly, for refusal, the receiver was unavailable at all attempts or the package was unclaimed, you will be responsible for the associated shipping fees to reship the order. If you wish to receive a refund for a package returned by the carrier, a 15% restocking fee will apply and shipping is non-refundable. If you are an international customer and refuse a package due to customs and/or brokerage fees, or any other reason, you may be ineligible for refund or reshipment.

Can I return a custom printed item?

As you may be aware, custom-printed products cannot be restocked. The industry standard for customized products dictates a no-return and a no-refund policy, except for unusable items. Unusable items include but are not limited to broken glassware, bent or misshapen bottle openers, cracked or broken license plates, etc. Items with production quality flaws are wholly non-refundable but may be eligible for a discount or refund. If you receive an order with unusable items, you must contact us within seven days of receiving your order. We require photographic evidence of the unusable items before any credits are issued.

What do I do if I receive a product that is damaged or defective?

If you received damaged or defective products, they must be reported within 7 days of delivery. Please note: Photographic evidence is required for any problems with your order. Problems reported after 7 days of delivery may be disqualified for replacements or refunds.

What do I do if I receive the incorrect product?

If an incorrect product is received, please report this to us within 7 days of receiving your order. We may request that the incorrect item be returned to us at our expense. If the item is not returned, you may be charged for the incorrect item. You can submit a support ticket to us through our ticket system or email us at service@barproducts.com.


FAQ - SHIPPING (to top)

Can an order be shipped on my UPS account so I can save on shipping?

We would prefer our customers use our UPS shipping account to ship their orders as we have found many benefits to our customers using our account. If you prefer to use your own account instead, you will need to place your order online, as usual, using our shipping rates. Then, contact our customer service team via live chat or email (service@barproducts.com). We will then issue you a refund for the shipping paid and ship using your account instead.

Can I pick up my order?

All orders get shipped to their destination via a commercial carrier. For reasons of safety, insurance, and logistics, customers cannot pick up orders from our warehouses.

Can I ship orders to multiple addresses?

You would need to place separate orders online to ship to multiple addresses. You can set up multiple addresses in your account and then select the desired one during the checkout process.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes! Please note that we have multiple shipping services to ship outside the USA. If choosing UPS or USPS, any duties, taxes, or fees from your forwarder are separate from our shipping and handling charges. We also offer a shipping program called iParcel. This option will allow you to see the shipping rate, including your additional taxes and fees. Please note this method may take slightly longer and is not currently offered in all countries.

Are there countries you do not ship to?

For various reasons, we cannot deliver packages to the following countries. If customers would like to arrange their own shipping via their own carrier, please contact us for arrangements: Ghana, Nigeria, Bolivia, and Venezuela. Note: We currently cannot ship to Crimea and Sevastopol due to government restrictions at this time.

Do you ship to Canada?

Yes, we do ship to Canada! To calculate shipping charges, add your items to the shopping cart and proceed to the checkout page. Enter your address to see the shipping methods and rates available that are specific to you. You do not need to enter any payment information to see these rates.

Do you ship to PO or APO/FPO boxes?

We are unable to ship most packages to PO boxes and request that you do not enter this as a shipping location. We can ship to most APO/FPO boxes at this time. If you are concerned about delivery to your address, please contact us before placing your order.

How much will it cost to ship my order?

You can calculate an estimated shipping cost before you check out in the shopping cart! To calculate shipping charges, add your items to the shopping cart. Left of the subtotal, you will see the Shipping and Tax Calculator. Choose your country and enter your zip code to get an estimate. Note: This calculator does not work for all countries. If you don't see rates when you click estimate, continue to the checkout page. You can enter your full address here and see the rates without having to put in any payment information.

How much will the duties and taxes be for my order?

Our company is US-based, therefore duties and taxes will be assessed on any items shipping outside of the United States unless you have chosen iParcel as your shipping method. Duties and taxes depend on the type of items being shipped, harmonized codes, and the discretion the customs agents have in evaluating these costs. The charge shown on our website’s shipping calculator will not show these fees.

I live in a country you don’t ship to. Can I still order from you?

We can ship to US-based freight forwarders for customers wishing to export their items to a country we do not currently ship to. You would be responsible for contacting the freight forwarder to set up an account before placing an order. Please note freight forwarders will charge additional fees for their services. Any duties, taxes, or fees from your forwarder are separate from our shipping and handling charges.

What if I prefer my order to be shipped by freight.

While our website does not calculate freight estimates, we can ship using a freight forwarder. If your order is large enough to qualify for freight shipping, and you prefer this method, please contact our Customer Service Specialists once your order gets placed (service@barproducts.com). They will coordinate with our shipping team to arrange freight shipping and refund you for any overages paid with UPS rates.

What shipping methods do you use?

We typically ship through UPS or USPS carriers. For some international orders, you will have the ability to go through iParcel shipping. Please note that USPS does not guarantee their shipping times. If you need your order fast, we suggest you choose a faster shipping method like UPS 2-day or overnight shipping. Both of these methods are guaranteed by UPS. If you are shipping to a commercial address, UPS will require someone to be there to sign for the package. For residential delivery, the carrier can leave the package without a signature if they feel that it is a safe area.

When will I receive my item?

Most products are usually in our warehouse and ready to go out within the same business day if the order is placed by 2 PM EST. Although we do our best to ship all orders out within this time frame, we may not be able to do so during busy times or if there is a supply issue with the items on your order. If you need a product by a certain date, let us know by indicating the date in the Shipping Request comment box when you check out. If there are any problems meeting your required date, we will let you know right away.

Once the product leaves our warehouse, the time it takes to reach you depends on your geographical location. If you need your order quickly, you have the option to upgrade to Second Day or Next Day in your shopping cart (availability dependent on your location). These expedited services guarantee that, as long as the items you're ordering are in stock, the order will ship out the same day and arrive by the end of the following business day (Next Day) or the end of the second business day (Second Day).

Please keep in mind that expedited orders must be placed before 2 PM EST to ship the same day and are only available for delivery on business days (Monday through Friday). If your delivery time is over a holiday, please add an additional day for delivery. Holidays include Christmas, New Year, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving. For orders shipping directly from the manufacturer, expedited shipping cutoff times may vary. Next & Second Day orders received after 2 PM EST get processed on the following business day.

Where are you located?

We ship stocked items from our warehouses in Indiana and Florida. Some items, if stocked at a manufacturer's location, will ship from a variety of other locations.

Why am I being charged shipping when I have a free shipping item?

Shipping costs get calculated on a per-item basis. For this reason, adding items without free shipping to your cart will add a shipping charge to your order.
