Shipping & Return Policy

UPDATE AUG 22, 2025 - ITEMS GOING TO THE USA May be subject to Customs duties, taxes, or fees upon arrival into the USA due to Government Imposed Trade Wars between Canada and the USA and the removal of the De Minimus Exemption Amount August 29 - which means all items will now require formal customs entry into the USA.  It is up to the buyer to pay these fees when the items arrive. 

 

Shipping & Return Policy

Shipping 

EMF is located in Canada, which means our products have to clear customs when going across the border to our American or our Overseas Friends.  We generally use UPS or Fedex for International shipping, they provide us with some good rates, fast times and tracking info.  If your address is a PO Box, we will automatically ship it via Canada Post / USPS. 

Shipping within Canada, we prefer Purolator but can also ship via UPS, Loomis, Fedex or Canada Post if you need.

SHIPPING TIMES QUOTED ON THE WEBSITE MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS STAT HOLIDAYS OR WEATHER DELAYS.  THESE ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL AND AT NO FAULT OUR OWN.

 

Returns

EMF will allow an authorized return or replacement of a product if there is a warranty issue even if you purchase from one of our Approved Dealers.  If you order from EMF Online or over the phone and we make the mistake of sending the wrong part to you, please contact us directly and we will guide you through the process of the return.  

All authorized returns must have an RMA number associated with it and we must receive the items back before issuing a credit or replacement.  Please package items well to avoid damaging the product or the threads upon return.  Shipping companies use boxes as footballs so please keep this in mind.  PACKAGE WELL.  Any damaged threads or parts we receive back will result in a surcharge.

You are responsible for the shipping costs of returning them and the shipping costs of sending out the new parts.  Once again, we cannot stress any more - PLEASE PACKAGE WELL.  Any damage that occurs during shipping due to improper packaging will result more charges to cover the replacement costs of those parts we can no longer use to resell.  Please contact us first for an RMA number.

NO RETURNS ON BALL JOINT HOUSINGS, SINGLE BALL JOINTS OR CUSTOM MACHINED PRODUCTS!!!!!

EMF WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT RETURNS BECAUSE A CUSTOMER DECIDED THEY DID NOT WANT THEM ANYMORE OR THEY SOLD THEIR TRUCK BEFORE PUTTING THEM IN.  WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT RETURNS IF THERE IS A WARRANTY ISSUE, DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE OR EMF SHIPPED THE WRONG PARTS IN OUR ERROR SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS.
