See video below for shipping on special orders.

I Haven't Received Tracking For My Order

You'll receive tracking automatically (via e-mail) as soon as your package is dispatched from Speed Science. The exception to this is if parts are being shipped directly from our suppliers to you.  Typically this is when something with the stock status "LOCALLY SOURCED - TYPICALLY IN STOCK WITH SUPPLIER" is shown. We are not given the tracking info and there's no automation that allows us to get this info to you.  If you would like the tracking please contact us and we'll get it for you. Chances are, the product will arrive before you get that info however.
Tracking is not supplied whilst parts are in transit between our suppliers and us.

I Would Like An Update On My Order

All Of The parts On My Order Were In Stock - Order updates are e-mailed automatically, both when we complete the order and when the courier collects it. If you haven't received these yet PLEASE CHECK SPAM.  If you are unable to find them, it means we are still processing the order.  In Stock orders are typically processed within 48 hours (not incl weekends). If it has been longer - feel free to contact us for an update.

My Order Included Parts That Were Special Order - When you placed your order you selected one of 3 freight options (or the website displayed a typical wait time).  Ocean - Consolidated Air - Express.  The time frames for these shipping methods are listed on the product pages.  Please review your order, the freight method chosen and the transit time. NOTE, order processing and stock availability can affect overall delivery time (as stated on the website)

If there is an anticipated delay due to product availability or some other factor, we will likely have been in touch with you. PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM.

If you have no communication from us and more time has elapsed than the maximum listed for the freight method chosen, please contact us and we'll be happy to update you. Otherwise please sit tight.
