Why can't I add more than one item to my cart?

  • This problem occurs when you are using certain software firewalls, most often times ZoneAlarm, to get around this problem either temporarily disable your firewall or add an exception for our URL/shopping cart which are https://us-dc1-order.store.yahoo.net/ and http://order.store.yahoo.net/
    Also make sure your browser has cookies enabled.

How do I change something on my order?

  • Unfortunately once an order has been placed we cannot add/remove products or adjust the shipping, you will need to send us a cancellation notice from here and place a new order. Please check the status of your order before canceling, we cannot cancel an order once it has been sent to our warehouse or marked as shipped.

Why is my order on hold?

  • Orders are usually put on hold for two reasons.
    1. The address and or phone number you provided did not match what paypal or your credit card has on file.
    2. One or more of the parts you ordered is out of stock
    When an order is on hold we always contact you the customer to try and resolve the issue as quickly as we can, most of the time by e-mail

I never received an e-mail confirmation after placing an order.

  • E-mails are sent to the address you provide when placing an order the moment you submit an order, if you did not get one it's possible it went into a spam or junk folder, free e-mail services such as hotmail and yahoo sometimes flag our e-mails as spam and either delete or move them to the folders mentioned, as such we do not recommend using free e-mail services unless absolutely necessary.

How come my order did not ship same day, I placed the order before Noon PST

  • Not all items are shipped from our main Kirkland, WA warehouse, some (~5%) come from the east coast which is 3 hours ahead in time, if it is crucial your order ships same day please put a note in the comment section of your order and we will do our best to have it shipped out, if we are unable to we will contact you as soon as we can.

Why don’t you answer your phone?

  • Often times we are away from our desks in the warehouse working on orders, some other project(s) or with a customer, if reaching us immediately is important please use our contact us form, we can check entries even if we are away from our desks and we are able to process them much more quickly than returning phone calls.
  • The way our system is setup we are unable to charge any order more than once, what you are seeing is the initial authorize of funds that is put on hold when you place an order. If for some reason you add/remove items, or adjust the order total in any way the charge will not match the authorize and when the order is shipped and charged it will not remove the authorize so it is possible to see the charge AND the authorize at the same time, however, you were only charged one time. Most authorizes drop off in 24-72 hours, if for some reason it does not please call your bank or credit union to have it removed.

Do you offer International shipping?

    2. Some manufacturers handle all replacements direct, if you happen to have such a product we will respond to your RMA request with their contact information.
    Before returning any product, you must fill out our RMA form
    Once you have received an RMA # please make sure the number is on the shipping label and/or box and a copy of the RMA correspondence is included with the return, not doing so will only delay the process.

    Shipping and order processing charges are NON-REFUNDABLE and no COD returns will be accepted under any circumstances.

    All RMAs returned for a refund are subject to a 20% restocking fee. All items returned MUST be in re-sale able condition and include all applicable hardware and parts that shipped with the product to receive any refund.

    Hardware sent back to CoolerGuys which claims to be defective will be tested and verified before a refund is given. If the unit is not defective it will be sent back at the customer’s expense.

International orders: When my package was delivered I was asked for additional fees to get my order.  I  thought I had already paid for shipping when I paid for  the order?

  • When ordering from Coolerguys.com, you are the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country. Orders that are shipped to countries outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information. See our Customer Service page for all our Terms and Conditions on International shipments.
