Interstate Advanced Materials Refund & Returns Policy

If you need to return an order, please contact us within 30 days of placing your order at 888-768-5759.

NOTICE: All freight carriers are currently experiencing shipping delays. As a result, delivery dates are estimates and are NOT guaranteed. Shipping delays from the manufacturer or freight carrier are not considered valid reasons for order cancellation once materials have shipped. No refunds will be provided after materials have shipped from the manufacturer.

By using and purchasing through the Interstate Advanced Materials website, you consent to our refund and return policy. By using our cut-to-size service, you accept and understand that cut-to-size orders are nominal and have a tolerance of +/- 0.125" (1/8") and that non-optimal cut-to-size materials are not returnable or refundable. Cut-to-size orders include any order where cutting of a material is required and not of optimal size. Optimal sizes are returnable in new, unused condition and are generally 12x24", 24x48", 48x96" and 48x120" for sheets. Rods and tubes can only be returned in lengths of 4', 5', 8', 10' and 12'. All other lengths are considered non-optimal. Standard items and optimal sizes incur a 35% restocking fee, plus cost of freight.

Please allow 24-48 hours for this order status information to become available. Orders placed for non-cut-to-size stock items typically ship within 2 working days. Cut to size orders will be subject to warehouse cutting schedules and typically ship within 3-5 business days. Travel times vary by your shipping point and destination; the average is 4 business days for non-cut-to-size items. Out of stock inventory may take 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. Accelerated shipping is available. Blue label ships in two days plus cutting time. Please contact us 888-768-5759 for details and costs.

We have many shipping options and work with various carriers to deliver your order in the timeliest fashion. If you have a preferred method of shipping, wish to purchase additional protective packaging or have special requirements, please do not hesitate to call us at 888-768-5759.

Interstate Advanced Materials Return Policy

You may send an order cancellation request to your sales representative via email or phone. Interstate Advanced Materials will honor cancellation requests received before the order has been accepted for processing or is executed. An order cannot be revoked when the order has been accepted for processing or executed (meaning the order has not moved to a warehouse for cutting and no materials have been ordered from our suppliers). You understand and accept that an order cannot be canceled when Interstate Advanced Materials has processed or executed that order. Orders are generally processed within 24 to 48 hours but may be processed within a few minutes of placement. Do not assume an order has been canceled unless you have received written confirmation of the cancellation.

Standard stock and optimal size items are returnable if undamaged and in unused, new condition. Items will be inspected to ensure the item is in new condition; credit cannot be issued until product is received and inspected in our facility. Cut-to-size, machined and non-standard items are not returnable or refundable. If we cut it, you own it! Cut-to-size products include any material that is cut below its standard sheet length or optimal size. Full sheet sizes are normally 4'x8' or 4'x12'. Optimal sizes generally include 12x24", 24x48", 48x96" and 48x120" for sheets. Rods and tubes can only be returned in lengths of 4', 5', 8', 10' and 12'. All other lengths are considered non-optimal. If you are unsure of full or optimal sheet size, please contact our customer service staff at 888-768-5759.

What are finished versus semi-finished plastics?

Finished plastics have a protective film or coating to prevent scratches and scuffs. Semi-finished plastics include all plastics that do not come with a protective film. Semi-finished plastics are generally machinable plastics and all non-clear plastics. Semi-finished plastics may come with scuffs and small scratches as the surface is not protected during stocking and loading. This is not considered a quality issue. If you are unsure if the material you wish to order is a finished or semi-finished plastic, please call Interstate Advanced Materials at 888-768-5759.

Finished plastics measuring 2x4' or smaller are wrapped with a single layer of corrugated cardboard and put in an appropriately sized box. Sheets may or may not ship with protective corrugated cardboard corners. Protective cardboard corners are available upon request. All plastics measuring larger than 2x4' are protected and wrapped in corrugated cardboard, but will not be boxed. Material over 2x4 will most times be sent by freight on a pallet, starting at $150 for commercial addresses and starting at $250 for residential addresses. There is usually no crating for material other than polycarbonate twinwall unless specifically requested for an additional charge. An additional charge will be applied to any orders to Alaska, Hawaii, domestic islands, U.S. territories or other countries (dependent on shipping destination.)
