Policy & Procedure

SHIPPING POLICY

  • Drop Ship Agreements

BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc. operates under various drop ship agreements with several manufacturers who ship products purchased on our website from the specific manufacturer’s warehouse to the customer.  Each manufacturer has their respective shipping policies and procedures in place and delivery times differ based on the specific manufacturer.  Customers should contact BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc.  at tubemaster@growtube.com regarding any shipping inquiries and we will contact the manufacturer to check on the status of each order and relay the estimated delivery time to you the customer.

  • Delivery Time

Delivery Time is dependent on several factors:

  1. “Availability”

Some products offered for sale by BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc. are shipped by the respective manufacturer under a drop ship agreement; however, BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc. does carry stock in our warehouse located in Sacramento CA. Backordered products or shipping may be delayed due to availability.  BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc. will make every reasonable effort to post shipping times if they exceed 2-3 weeks and will also make every reasonable effort to make a notation in the Shopping Cart and inform the Customer of the expected date of shipping. Shipping times vary for different orders with most orders shipping within 24 hours, others in a couple of days, while some may take as many as several weeks (larger orders). The “Availability” value is an estimate. BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc. strives to do our best to ship items out as quickly as possible. Due to our drop ship agreements with certain manufactures, BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc. may not have control over shipping times and procedures; however, if a problem arises please contact our customer service representatives at tubemaster@growtube.com.

  1. “Method of delivery”

BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc. employs various methods of shipping including but not limited to LTL Freight, FedEx Ground (commercial addresses) or FedEx Home Delivery (residential addresses).  FedEx Express Saver (not available on all items) takes 3 business days; 2nd Day Air is two business days, and LTL Freight can take 5-7 business days. Additionally, please note that delivery time is also based on “business” days. Each service varies in delivery times dependent upon the delivered location and normally transit time is between 2-7 business days (shipping from our warehouse in Sacramento CA.).

  • Calculating Cost

Shipping and handling costs are calculated on the website automatically during checkout based on the weight and dimensions of the items you are purchasing.  Due to the use of drop ship agreements with manufacturers by www.growtube.com, small discrepancies may occur in calculating exact shipping costs.  The customer pays BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc. the estimated shipping and handling charges as calculated by our Fed Ex Module on the website and BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc. then remits the actual shipping charge to the specific manufacturer who ships the order to the customer.  If there are deficiencies in the collected versus actual shipping charges BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc. does not charge the customer for any such deficiency nor does BLUE-X® Enterprises Inc. refund any overages in the collected versus actual shipping charge to the customer.

  • International Shipping

If you’d like to make a purchase and have it shipped internationally, please send us an email at tubemaster@growtube.com.  Be sure to include a list of the products you’d like to purchase, your shipping address, phone number, and the email address to which we should send an invoice. A member of our Customer Service team will contact you to make the necessary arrangements.
