Shipping Policy
At GearShift Parts, we know that getting your auto part on time matters.
We work with trusted shipping and freight carriers to safely deliver used engines, transmissions, and other auto parts across the USA.
Below you’ll find everything you need to know about processing, delivery, tracking, freight shipping, and damaged shipments.
1. Order Processing
Most orders are processed within 2–4 business days after payment is received.
During processing, we may:
- Verify your payment
- Confirm product availability
- Verify vehicle and part information
- Inspect the part
- Prepare the part for shipping
- Arrange the appropriate carrier
Once your order has shipped, you will receive tracking information when available.
Orders requiring additional verification or special handling may take a little longer. If this happens, our team will contact you.
2. Delivery Time
Most orders arrive within approximately 3–5 business days after shipment.
Actual delivery time may vary depending on:
- Your location
- Shipping method
- Part size and weight
- Carrier schedules
- Weather
- Holidays
- Freight requirements
- Other circumstances outside our control
The delivery time shown or quoted for your order is an estimate unless a specific delivery commitment is confirmed in writing.
3. Nationwide Shipping
We ship to customers across the United States.
Our shipping partners can deliver to most residential and commercial addresses throughout the country.
Some large or heavy parts may require freight delivery or additional delivery arrangements.
If you have questions about shipping to your location, please contact us before placing your order.
4. Shipping Methods
Depending on the size, weight, destination, and type of part, we may use different shipping services.
These may include:
- Ground shipping
- Express shipping
- Freight shipping
- Terminal pickup
- Other suitable carrier services
We will select or recommend a shipping method based on the product and destination.
If you need your part urgently, please contact us before ordering so we can discuss available shipping options.
5. Engines, Transmissions & Large Parts
Engines, transmissions, and other large components may be shipped by freight carrier.
Depending on the shipment and delivery location, freight delivery may require:
- A commercial address
- Residential delivery service
- Liftgate service
- Delivery appointment
- Freight terminal pickup
Additional charges may apply for certain delivery services.
Our team will let you know if special shipping arrangements are needed for your order.
6. Residential & Commercial Delivery
When ordering a large or heavy part, please provide the correct delivery address and let us know whether it is:
Residential
or
Commercial
Commercial locations should have someone available to receive the shipment during normal business hours.
Residential or limited-access deliveries may require additional carrier services or fees.
Providing the correct information helps prevent shipping delays and additional charges.
7. Shipping Charges
Shipping charges depend on factors such as:
- Part size
- Part weight
- Shipping destination
- Shipping method
- Freight requirements
The applicable shipping cost will be shown or communicated during the ordering process.
If a carrier requires an additional service because of the delivery location, such as residential delivery or liftgate service, an additional charge may apply.
8. Free or Special Shipping Offers
Some products or promotions may include free or discounted shipping.
When free shipping is offered, it generally applies to the standard shipping method selected by GearShift.
Additional services such as:
- Residential freight delivery
- Liftgate service
- Inside delivery
- Expedited shipping
- Special handling
may require an additional charge.
Any applicable charges will be communicated before they are incurred whenever reasonably possible
9. Order Tracking
Once your order ships, we will provide tracking information when available.
Tracking may take some time to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.
For parcel shipments, you can use the tracking number provided to follow your package.
For freight shipments, tracking may show carrier or terminal updates and, in some cases, the carrier may contact you to arrange delivery.
10. Inspect Your Order When It Arrives
Please inspect your package or freight shipment as soon as it arrives.
For large freight shipments, we recommend:
- Check the packaging before signing for delivery.
- Take photos of the package and pallet.
- Look for visible damage.
- Note visible damage on the delivery paperwork when possible.
- Keep the original packaging.
This information can be very helpful if a shipping claim is needed.

Please do not install it.
Instead:
- Take photos of the package.
- Take photos of the damaged part.
- Keep the original packaging.

Additional carrier charges may apply if an address needs to be corrected after shipment.
15. Local Pickup
Local pickup may be available at selected warehouse locations.
Availability depends on the product and location.
If you would like to pick up your part instead of having it shipped, please contact our team before placing your order.
We will check whether local pickup is available for your part.
