Summary:
Standard Support Policy
While most items we sell have online guides, youtube tutorial DIY videos, and general forum links to aid you with install, a lot of these products do not currently incorporate paper details on installation. Our products run the range from simple DIY that can be done in your driveway with minimal tools to parts requiring a dedicated tool box and of course some items like bumpers and body kits are recommended only to be installed by experienced professionals. Below are some guidelines that define the level of assistance we can provide you.
This policy is in place to insure equal support for all customers. Of course, in some instances when a prouct is not working properly or malfunctioning, there will be some flexibility. However, no support will be offered without proper documentation in the form of videos, photos, and detailed diagram or descriptions

*GPX provides significant benefits over other carriers for large boxes
1) You can pick up ANY time that is convenient for you. Most places are 24 hours open.
2) You can choose where to pick it up, next to your work? or home? Or friend’s home? Anything that is convenient for you, with most Greyhound stations only 1-10 miles away.
3) You get a package that is HANDLED WITH CARE – not just dropped through a conveyor belt by people that aren’t interested or machines that don’t care that the box says “fragile”
4) You get detailed exact tracking – just call with the provided GLI number and they’ll be able to tell you where the package is at all hours of the day.
**By purchasing an oversized product, you authorize Umntiza.com and/or its Carriers to assess additional fees to your credit card as necessary according to the fee schedule described here. We may deduct original and return shipping costs from your refund or otherwise charge them to your credit card after the product is returned.
5) GPX does not do cross border shipping to Canada - even though Canada has a Greyhound service, they are not set up to handle the customs interchange at the border. Your shipment, if you are in Canada will be shipped using the closest station in the US nearest to the border. Alternatively, we can ship your items using Fedex to Canada, however the cost is different and is done on a case by case bases.
6) USPS is not used for any bumper shipments unless within USPS dimensional guidelines for the specific country's accepted size/dimension requirements. USPS shipmnts will incure an oversized charge if dimensions are within guidelines but do not exceed them.
Shipping, Handling, Packaging, Tracking
All packages will be shipped via trackable means.*
All shipments of Express will be reviewed and shipped to the billing address only. If you need to make special arrangements for another address for an express shipment, please call our phone number to validate your identity.

We reserve the right to ship to BILL TO addresses on all shipments. All shipment requests to non-billing addresses must be made via email and the shipped to address must be added to the credit card information as a validated address.
Shipment costs paid on the site may not reflect actual cost of shipping and handling the item. Handling fees not listed on the site's order page may include but are not limited to: extra packaging, courier delivery fee, extended processing/counter fees, insurance, and or online vs counter fees charged.
*USPS & Fedex Shipments:
The email is a notification of shipment. All notifications of shipment indicate that the shipment will be mailed within 24-96 hours of creation date, excluding national holidays. The delivery confirmation number is not a tracking number on USPS but may offer some information from time to time. However, it does not allow the user to monitor shipment status in real time. Only Express Mail status numbers can be used to monitor shipment status.
*USPS Only Shipments
Please do not contact the USPS to request status using the provided Delivery Confirmation numbers. You can request status from the USPS by calling 1-800-Ask-USPS for Express Mail orders only. Global Priority, Global Airmail Parcel Post, First Class, and Priority Mail shipments cannot be monitored/tracked using the number provided herein.
