Frequently Asked Questions

Security of Your Personal Information:

Motowheels utilizes the latest security technology to protect your personal information. All information you submit to us is securely encrypted using industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. This process makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to access or decode the information. The information you provide us will remain confidential and will only be used for shipping and billing purposes.

You can tell when you're in a secure environment by the following signs: the URL to the left of the colon changes from "http" to "https" to symbolize that this site is using SSL technology and all SSL capable browsers display a symbol (usually a complete Key or Closed Lock) when operating in a secure environment.

The safest, most efficient  and secure way to order is online. For your security, our secure credit card processing companies do not allow us access to your credit card numbers and we can only apply credits (not charges) to your invoice. We do not keep your card numbers on file. You will never have to worry that your credit card number may show up on a scrap of piece of paper or invoice sent through FED EX or the mail.

For your additional protection, we run all of the orders through  several fraud protection programs  to ensure no unauthorized users are using your card with out your permission. We ask for a few key pieces of information that only the actual card holder should have for your protection. You will always get order and delivery confirmations sent to the email address or FAX phone numbers that we have on file for you. We work closely with law enforcement authorities to prosecute fraud cases.

When ordering online, the card is charged automatically and an invoice with all the shipping information is created for our shippers. If there are any changes to your order, we can credit (but not charge) your card for anything that we do not ship or for shipping credits. If you need to add to the order, you must contact us because we have no access to your card numbers.

If you have difficulty  submitting your card, please call the 800 number on the back of your card before trying again. Our website requires that the billing address and name match the card.  Banks will automatically reject a charge if multiple attempts are made with the incorrect information. You will need to call the bank to clear the card, before trying again. Please contact us if you experience any problems ordering.

International orders: In some cases, we may require additional information (such as photo identification and account/billing/shipping address verification) to process International orders. We will contact you after we receive the order for this information if we have any difficulty processing these orders.

We are available via email: accounting@motowheels.com or sales@motowheels.com or by phone: 916.369.2509 and FAX 916.737.5109 Monday-Friday 10:00AM- 5:00PM, 10:00AM-3:00PM Pacific Standard Time

Online orders: We will begin processing your online orders immediately upon receipt of your order. The website automatically charges your card and  creates shipping information so we can ship your order the same day if it is ordered online before1 PM pacific time unless notified otherwise in the case of a back order or special order.

How to Contact Us!

Our phone lines are often very busy. The best way to contact us is by email.

We provide tech support but we prefer to communicate via email as it allows us to focus on each individual order in front of us. Email allows us to share information with others, send written instructions, links and pictures. We will call you if it is complicated.

We have a staff of full time experienced motorcycle enthusiasts that can help you find the right product for your needs the first time. We try everything we sell and we know what works. We truly enjoy working with our customers. All of our calls are routed to voice mail when we are busy with customers.

Shipping is a priority here. Please keep in mind, we service customers all over the world each day (in several different time zones) with a very small staff and we must complete our tasks in a timely and accurate manner. (If you have tried to complete a task while answering phones, you know what we are talking about). Email allows us to organize our time and accurately organize your orders. You may find that we get back to you quickly by email.

Payment Methods:

Motowheels accepts Visa and  MasterCard. After filling out our online checkout form, an invoice number will be generated and an order confirmation will be sent to you by email. A payment receipt will be sent to you with the merchandise. Please keep this payment receipt for reference in case of exchange or refund. The order confirmation that is provided online at the time of your order does not serve as your official receipt. The official receipt is the payment receipt that is mailed to you with the merchandise.

Due to increased fraudulent activity, in order to use a credit card we may need you to email or fax a copy of your ID, credit card used for this order and a page from the most recent credit card statement. On the credit card you can block out the first 12 numbers to be safe, we only need to see the last 4 digits. We limit first time International credit card users to $500 for the first 60 days.

The other option is to pay via wire transfer in which case we will offer you a 2% discount on your order.

Sales Tax Information:

Due to the location of our stores, we are required by law to collect applicable tax on all shipments to California and billed to a California resident. No tax will be added to orders that are billed outside of California and shipped to addresses outside of California. If applicable, the appropriate tax will be automatically added to your order total.

Product Quality Guarantee

We guarantee all merchandise to be free of defects in materials and workmanship. If a problem occurs, we will revalue or replace the item at our option and to your satisfaction. This guarantee does not cover normal wear and tear or shipping damage. We insure all of our shipments so please keep the original shipping box if you experience any damage or loss. If you experience any problems with the quality of our products, please contact us via email at sales@motowheels.com by FAX at 916.737.5109 or at the shop 916.369.2509 Monday-Friday 10:00AM-5:00PM, Pacific Standard Time. We will be happy to serve you.

Pricing:

Since we import products from overseas, the pricing is subject to change daily due to the exchange rates. You can get an idea of pricing trends by monitoring exchange rates: http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi  . We buy in large quantities in order to offer the best prices possible, but the exchange rates play a major part.

Shipping Options & Charges

New FED EX Policy: FED EX requires signature on all orders over $500. Lower value shipments are up to the discretion of the driver. Consider shipping to your work if you will not be available or cannot make arrangements with your driver.

Our website charges exactly what UPS/FEDEX charges us. We use FED EX in most cases as the price, delivery, support and tracking is better.

International shipping charges: Our website quotes UPS- but we ship FED EX or USPS depending on the size as it is always less expensive. We will credit your card any savings after the actual costs are determined. We can also ship via USPS if you write "Ship USPS" on the company line of the order form. USPS will take a week longer for delivery. Please email shipping@motowheels.com for a shipping estimate before you order. .

The "HANDLING" charge is actually FED EX Insurance based on value, oversize charges, fuel surcharges and any extra packaging material that is required to ship the product safely. All orders include shipping insurance based on retail value.

The product "WEIGHT" and dimensions listed on the website is for shipping purposes only. It is the final shipping "dimensional weight" size required by shipping company with packing.

Signature may be required. The signature is required on orders valued at $500.00 USD or higher. Signature may also be required for less expensive orders. This is often up to the discretion of the driver as they are financially responsible for all deliveries. On expensive items, we will request for a delivery confirmation which will also require a signature. So please watch your tracking numbers for the delivery date. In most cases, you can ask them to deliver to your neighbor if you are not home by leaving a note.

Online orders: we will begin processing your online orders immediately upon receipt of your order. The website automatically charges your card and creates shipping information. Because of our large inventory, we can process your order and ship in stock items the same day if it is ordered before 3PM Pacific online or 1pm via phone.

You will get automated tracking information via email. You will find that online orders are more efficient, accurate, faster and secure because no one has access to your card numbers but your bank

Our website states inventory amounts but it may be incorrect due to call-in orders, walk-in sales and miscounts. We also drop ship some items that have many color options. Please email or call us if you would like us to check stock before you order to prevent any delays or to get an ETA. Since most of our products are made overseas, there can be occasional delays beyond our control. If there is a delay, we give you an option of holding the order, canceling the order or getting a different product.

Phone In orders: require additional steps and are placed in queue to ship. If you are in a rush or would like to receive the lowest prices (see racer/member program), please order online. We cannot offer racer/member prices with phone orders.

Tracking Information: We send email delivery confirmations with all of our orders when we are provided your correct email address. You can check the status of your order at www.fedex.com. If youhave any problems with delivery please contact us at shipping@motowheels.com   so we can send you a copy of the confirmation or call us at 916.369.2509. When ordering please check your contact information to make sure it is correct.

If for some reason you do not get a tracking number, you can also track at www.FedEx.com by "Reference number."  Enter the last 4 digits of your invoice number, zip code and county destination. The FED EX website will give you a tracking number.

Our website quotes UPS but we usually  ship FED EX unless another shipping method is requested with your order. Please keep in mind we have no control over Fed Ex. If you request an air shipment and it does not arrive on time (and it happens), you can make a claim with the carrier for a refund. We can help you with these claims by providing pick up information.

Military, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico residents: Hawaii and Alaska require an extra day (i.e.: 2 day  FED EX shipping takes 3 days). If you are in the military, we can ship to APO addresses via USPS. If you order online, we will refund a portion of your shipping charges back since the US Postal Service is usually less expensive to ship. However in most cases, the website will not accept a PO Box as a delivery address since the the US Postal service will accept only US mail at these locations. Please contact us at 916.369.2509 or email sales@ motowheels.com to submit orders.

International Orders:  Our website quotes UPS but we will ship via the least expensive method which is usually USPS or FED EX. If you prefer USPS. please contact us via email to ship via US Postal Service or type in "Ship USPS" in the "company line" to select that option. It is the least expensive option, but it can take a week more for delivery. .

International payments:

Due to increased fraudulent activity. In order to use a credit card or paypal we will need you to email or fax a copy of your ID,credit card used for this order and a page from the most recent credit card statement. On the credit card you can block out the first 12 numbers to be safe, we only need to see the last 4 digits. In some cases, we limit first time International credit card users to $500 for the first 60 days. The other option is to pay via wire transfer in which case we will offer you a 2% discount on your order.

BACKORDERS and SPECIAL ORDERS:

In most cases you will find that we have plenty of your favorite items in stock because we are an actual warehouse with over a million dollars in inventory; we stock everything we sell. We are well known for having the highest fill rate for wheels and Ducati aftermarket parts in the country. We may occasionally have to drop ship from the manufacturer or backorder an item. You will not be charged for additional shipping if the item must be shipped separately. We will ship the item as soon as it is available or credit the amount back to your card immediately if it cannot be delivered.

Although we prefer to sell from our stock, we accept special orders on non- stocking items with a minimum non-refundable 20% deposit with the understanding that we have no control over the delivery times. Since most of our items are from outside the USA we cannot cancel an order once it is placed. We have very little control over delivery times of other companies, but we will try our best to stay on top of orders or find alternative sources. We will give you an estimate based on our past experience, but we cannot predict the future any better than your stockbroker (well, maybe a little better). If the special order product has been made or sent, we cannot cancel these orders or refund deposits.

Refunds & Exchanges

All refunds and exchanges will be gladly accepted when merchandise is returned within 30 days of purchase in its original condition with the original payment receipt and packaging. For faster processing-- Please contact us for an RA# for all returns at accounting@motowheels.com or sales@motowheels.com< FO face="Arial" size="2" NT> . Items with out prior return authorization may not be accepted or delayed.

We do not accept returns on electrical parts, special orders, used or modified merchandise or closeout/clearance items. Please be very careful when ordering clearance or used items. Please check fit before installation. Deposits for special orders are not refundable.

Refunds are subject to a 20% restocking charge. You can avoid re- stocking charges if you exchange for another product or accept a store credit in most cases.

A credit for the amount of the product plus taxes will be issued on the credit card used on the payment receipt. A credit confirmation will be sent to you by email. There will be NO credit for the shipping and handling /insurance  amount. If the original payment receipt is not presented upon a refund or exchange, a store credit will be issued when the merchandise is returned in its original condition. If we send you the wrong product, we will credit you back for the return international post office or domestic ground shipping, but we will not pay for express return shipping.

Please keep in mind  the bank charges your card the moment you make a purchase, but even if we process a credit on our end right away, credits can still take 5 to 7 business days to post your account. We have no control over this. We will send you a credit confirmation by email so you can check with your bank. In addition please understand that we do not have a bookkeeper on "stand buy" to process all refunds as they occur. These are batched and processed several times a week by our bookkeeper who is responsible for many other tasks.

Please contact us if you experience any shipping damage. All shipments are fully insured. If you receive a damaged item please keep the original box and packing materials. The shipping company will pick up the damaged item and we will exchange the item for an undamaged item. Please contact us if the shipping company is not responsive.
