Zen Toolwork's Policies

Shipping and Returns

Shipping
Zen Toolworks provides the cheapest shipping option possible and always looks for a way to lower the cost. We primarily use Fedex Ground for domestic(US) delivery. If you order multiple products from us, we will try to combine the shipping as much as possible to save the total shipping cost for you. Sometimes, the system is not intelligent enough to calculate the combined shipping cost correctly, we will adjust the final total for you after purchase.

Returns
For customers who receive damaged packages should contact us immediately.

If and when sending our equipment back, we require all parts to be disassembled in the manner it was sent and packaged reasonably secure to limit damage to the equipment while in transit. We will charge fees for parts that have been damaged due to insufficient packing that we can not restock. We recommend the use of old balled-up newspapers and cardboard scraps to make great space fillers that help keep things from shifting and getting damaged.

For additional return information, please contact us.

How do you protect your information?

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or access your personal information.

We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s database only to be accessible by those authorized to access such systems, and are contracted to keep the information confidential.

No financial account information, such as credit cards or MAC cards info, are kept by our system. Payment information is used in one location and is only used during one transaction in a three-step process: once you “click the button”, the first process is encrypting the information, the second is sending it to the processing center. At this point, it is completely erased from our system memory.
