By using this site, you acknowledge and agree to comply with the terms and conditions listed below.

Conditions of Use

This site is designed to help users view and purchase replacement and performance parts for their vehicle. Due to the constant influx of new vehicles and new parts, the site may not be a complete representation of all the parts we have available. If you have any questions regarding a part, listed or not, feel free to contact us.

All products sold by Cascade German Parts are intended for installation by a licensed professional mechanic or an experienced “do-it-yourself” recreational mechanic. Should any misuse or improper installation of our parts occur, we will not be held liable for a replacement.

Shipping costs are a good faith estimate based upon our individual rates with carriers and your location. We do our best to make them as accurate as possible. In the unlikely event that your purchased shipping costs do not cover the actual costs, we reserve the right to request additional payment.

Free Shipping

In order to qualify for free shipping, the following conditions must be met:

• The order total must be equal to or greater than $100, not including shipping charges.
• The shipping address must be located within the contiguous U.S. (This excludes Hawaii, Alaska, all other insular areas, and any and all international locations).
• The order must not exceed the weight and dimensions of standard shipping services. (Freight items do not qualify for free shipping).

Certain products may normally meet the above qualifications but still are not eligible for free shipping. These products have been marked appropriately in their listings. If one of these items is purchased and free shipping is the chosen shipping method, an employee of Cascade German Parts, Inc. will be in contact with you to discuss alternate options. If no alternative can be decided upon, the order will be canceled and refunded in full.

Free shipping must be chosen as the shipping option at checkout. If any other shipping option is chosen by the customer, it is the customer’s responsibility to contact Cascade German Parts, Inc. and request the change before the shipment is processed.

If a customer places two separate orders that when combined would qualify for free shipping, it is the customer’s responsibility to contact Cascade German Parts, Inc. and request that the orders be combined and shipped together under the conditions mentioned above to qualify for any refund,

No refunds will be made if an order that qualifies for free shipping has already been shipped.

Cascade German Parts, Inc. retains the right to deny qualification for free shipping under any circumstance we deem appropriate and either request additional payment for shipping or cancel the order with a full refund.

Payment Options

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express). We also accept payment via Apple and Google Pay, Venmo, PayPal, eChecks, checks, cash, and money orders. Orders are not shipped until payment has been received. Payments by check may be held until the payment clears. All checks should be made out to: Cascade German Parts, Inc.

International Order Payment

Cascade German Parts, Inc. reserves the right to request payment for any international order to be reprocessed via bank wire. In these cases, any previous payment processed through other channels will be refunded in full before requesting a bank wire.

Items purchased in an order where payment reprocessing is requested will be held for the originally purchasing customer for up to 48 hours while the bank wire is processed.

Standard Shipping & Handling

We use FedEx and the United States Postal Service (USPS) for all standard orders shipped from our warehouse. We strive to ship all orders within 1-2 business days, Monday-Friday (excluding Holidays). Backordered parts will be fulfilled as soon as possible.

Express Shipping & Handling

Choosing an overnight shipping option does not guarantee you will receive your order the day following your purchase. The cutoff for same business day express or overnight shipping is 3:00 pm Pacific Time. Orders received after the cutoff will not ship until the next business day. Delivery dates are M-F, excluding holidays.

In the event that part of your order is backordered, we will ship with your chosen shipping method as soon as the part is available.

Holidays, weather, and other circumstances can delay shipment and delivery. Also, not all areas deliver express or overnight shipping on every day of the week. Cascade German Parts is not responsible for delays caused by carrier limitations. Post COVID, carriers do not have guaranteed delivery dates, as such there are no refunds for missed delivery commitments.

If you need your order by a specific date, please mention this in the order notes; sometimes we are able to notify you if your chosen shipping method will not meet your needs.

International Shipping

Once the shipping carrier has received an order for transport, it becomes the responsibility of the carrier to complete safe and timely delivery. Though we provide a tracking number, not all carriers provide regular updates to their tracking information. Customs duties, taxes, and related charges are the responsibility of the buyer. Return shipping on returns or warranties are the responsibility of the customer.

Backorders

In the event that any items in your order are unavailable for immediate shipment, we will do our best to fulfill your order in the most timely fashion possible. In most cases, you will be given the option of having us hold the order to ship all together, shipping part immediately and part when the backordered item(s) becomes available, or canceling the item or order.

Signature Deliveries

Orders over $750 are automatically sent “Direct Signature Required.” For convenience and security, it is often best to have shipments of this value delivered to your place of business. The name you provide in the shipping address will be the one needed for signature. With FedEx once your item is enroute you can choose hold at location from the FedEx homepage to hold at your nearest location. They will hold for one week. If the item is returned to us for any reason you are responsible for outbound and return shipping charges.

If you request “No Signature Required” in the notes, you are authorizing the carrier to leave your shipment at the shipping address that you provided, and are aware that neither Cascade German Parts nor the carrier itself is responsible for any packages after they are delivered.

Damaged, Lost, or Stolen Packages

Cascade German Parts is not liable for damage incurred during shipping, nor is Cascade German Parts liable for lost or stolen packages. Our liability is to get your order to the shipping carrier, and their liability ends once the package is scanned at point of delivery. However, if there is such an issue with your order, please contact us immediately and we will provide help to the best of our ability on a case by case basis.

Fulfillment Errors

Please review your order upon delivery to ensure that you received your full order. If you receive an order that is missing parts or has incorrect parts, we ask that you contact us immediately so that we can correct the error. Corrections can be sent only within the US or internationally to the original country of delivery using the original orders shipping method. While we do our best to expedite corrections, we are not responsible to express corrections unless express shipping was originally paid for. Fulfillment errors not reported within 14 days from delivery are not eligible for correction.

Returns

Returned items must be new and in saleable condition and original packaging. Items not properly returned will delay or, in some cases, forfeit any refund. Refunds for returned items are less outbound and (if applicable) return shipping charges. Items returned more than 30 days after delivery may be subject to a 20% restocking fee. Some items may not be returned for a refund including special orders, tools, and electronics that have been installed. After 60 days from delivery, items may not be returned.

If you need to process a return, please begin the process here. You can utilize our shipping discounts which will be deducted from your return amount. If you had free outbound shipping the price we paid will be deducted from the return.

Core Returns

Returning a core is part of the purchase agreement described in some (applicable) listings. These cores must be returned fully-assembled and in their original packaging within 60 days. If you use a prepaid return label provided by us, your core charge may be refunded less the cost of shipping.

Transmissions & Injection Pumps

In addition to the above terms, core charges for injection pumps and transmissions are refunded only when it is determined that your core is rebuildable, which may take up to two weeks from receipt.

Warranties

We are careful to stock quality parts with proven records of reliability. We do not anticipate that you will have any issues with the parts that you receive from us. However, we also know that problems can happen in manufacturing and shipping processes, and it is our practice to look out for our customers when this occurs.

Our parts are covered by a 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty against manufacturer’s defects unless otherwise specified in the individual listing. Pursuant with current industry practice, this is limited to only the defective part(s) and does not cover any labor costs or incidental charges. Industrial/forklift parts have a 90 day unlimited hour warranty.

For warranty claims on international orders, it is the responsibility of the customer to cover shipping costs for both the return and the replacement parts.

Disclaimer:
Cascade German Parts, Inc. retains the right, at our discretion, to require the customer to purchase any replacement parts that are needed during the warranty process and to refund any defunct product only after it has been investigated and confirmed to have a manufacturer defect.

Beginning a Warranty Claim

First, contact us via email: info@cascadegerman.com. Please include your order number, affected part numbers, and any relevant pictures (including packaging). In some instances, we can work through an issue and discover that the part is functioning properly and something else is causing the issue.

Second, you will need to ship the item. Typically the item will be returned to our warehouse, but not always. We will advise you of where it needs to be sent in order to avoid delays or additional shipping costs.

Third, allow us to resolve the matter. We work to provide a quick turnaround once we receive the part. Warranties for some parts, such as turbochargers, must be processed through the manufacturer’s laboratory to determine the cause of failure before the warranty process can conclude. With some manufacturers this takes up to a week, with others it can be up to three weeks.

If you need the part before a warranty can be processed, you will need to purchase the replacement in a separate order. We will then process a refund for the part if it is determined to be covered by warranty. Parts not covered by warranty will not receive a refund. Any refund will not exceed the price of the product(s) at the time of purchase.

Refund Processing

While we try and process all returns and refunds in a timely manner, please allow 2-4 weeks for any returns to be received and refunds processed. Any returns made in-store will be processed immediately. Once approved based upon the applicable return policy, all refunds will be processed using the same payment method that was used to make the purchase. If the original payment was made using a debit or credit card, please allow an additional 2-4 weeks for the payment to post to your account.

It is the customer’s responsibility to contact Cascade German Parts, Inc. before the processing of any refunds, if for any reason the original payment method is no longer a viable option. If the original payment was by card, Venmo, Google or Apple Pay and refund is not to the original form of payment, there will be a 4% deduction to account for credit card processing fees (averaged down from actual costs of 2.8-6.5%).

In order to be eligible for a refund all returns must meet the following requirements unless otherwise stated:

• Purchased from Cascade German Parts, Inc.
• Received the purchased item within 30 days.
• In like-new, resalable condition as determined by Cascade German Parts, Inc.
• Not a “final sale” or “non-returnable” item, or partial parts from a kit.

If any of these requirements are not met, Cascade German Parts, Inc. reserves the right to refuse the request.

The customer may request a refund in one of the following forms before a refund has been processed:

• Store credit
• Product Exchange
