FAQ

Delivery & Shipping

What happens if I'm not available to accept the delivery of my shipment?

CMU Supply's carrier partners will contact you to arrange delivery. The trucking company (LTL) will call you the day before delivery to arrange a convenient date and time. We will make up to 5 attempts to contact you and schedule the delivery. If contact cannot be established after these attempts, the shipment returns to CMU Supply. You will be responsible for any charges incurred for these delivery attempts.

What if the package cannot be delivered after 5 attempts?

If the package cannot be delivered after 5 attempts, it will be returned to the sender. Any costs incurred during the delivery attempts will be deducted from your refund amount.

Can I reschedule the delivery if I know I won't be available?

Yes. If you know you won't be available to accept the delivery, you can usually reschedule or provide alternative instructions through customer support. Contact our team at CustomerService@CMUSupply.com or by phone/text at 475-293-4268 to arrange alternative delivery arrangements.

What should I do if I missed a delivery attempt?

Check the delivery service's notice or website for instructions on how to arrange a new delivery. Contact your carrier directly using any documentation they may have left — they typically provide options for rescheduling.

I received an "attempted delivery" notification. What should I do?

You can expect the shipment carrier to attempt delivery of your order the following business day. If you need to schedule or reschedule the delivery, please contact the carrier directly.

Can UPS Next Day Air arrive on Saturday?

UPS does not normally deliver on Saturdays, even with expedited shipping. If you need a Saturday delivery, please contact us and we may be able to arrange it.

Do you ship internationally?

CMUSupply.com is currently unable to accept orders shipping to destinations outside of the U.S. The following states/territories are also excluded: Alaska, American Samoa, Armed Forces Areas, Guam, Hawaii, Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Puerto Rico, and the Federated States of Micronesia. We do not ship to Canada or Mexico. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Why hasn't my tracking been updated?

Tracking numbers typically update with most carriers every 24–48 hours; however, additional delays may occur while your order is in transit. If a shipment's tracking information shows no updates for more than 6 working days and you haven't received your order, please reach out to Customer Service at CustomerService@CMUSupply.com.

Returns & Refunds

How many days do I have to request a return?

To qualify for our return merchandise terms, you must initiate your return request within thirty (30) days from the receipt of your merchandise. Returns must then be delivered to our warehouse within 7 days of receiving your Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA#).

Can I return or exchange one or more ordered items?

Before initiating any return or exchange, you must obtain authorization from Customer Service. We only accept returns and exchanges that have received approval and been issued an RMA number. Once approved, you'll receive email instructions detailing the next steps. If CMU Supply is not responsible for the return, you will cover those shipping costs. A tracked shipping service is strongly recommended. Returns will not be accepted after 30 days.

Contact Customer Service at CustomerService@CMUSupply.com or call 475-293-4268.

Will I be refunded for return shipping costs?

If CMU Supply is not at fault, original shipping costs (outbound) as well as return shipping costs (inbound) will be your responsibility.

Will I be charged if my package is returned to the sender?

Yes. You will be billed for any costs incurred during the delivery attempts and for the return of the package to the sender. This includes shipping fees, potential storage fees, and any additional charges from the carrier. You are responsible for covering all associated expenses, including carrier fees, return shipping costs, and any storage charges that may accumulate.

I still haven't received my refund. Why?

The warehouse must receive and inspect returned items before processing refunds. Our fulfillment team checks that merchandise meets return conditions: unused, undamaged, and in original packaging. Once inspection is complete and approved, refunds are issued within 14 days using your original payment method. If you haven't received your refund or have questions, contact Customer Service at CustomerService@CMUSupply.com.

Order Status & Tracking

Does CMU Supply communicate order details & status updates?

Yes. CMU Supply provides the following communications:

  • A confirmation email is sent once your order is placed, acknowledging order details.
  • A second email is sent containing your tracking information once your order has shipped from our fulfillment center.

In the unlikely event that you don't receive your order after the stated delivery time, or your order is damaged on arrival, please contact us as soon as you are aware and no longer than 7 business days from the delivery date.

How do I check my order status?

Upon submission, an automated confirmation email is sent to the associated email address. For registered account holders, order status can be viewed in the Order History section. Those without a confirmation email should reach out to Customer Service for assistance.

  2. Once authenticated, review the fulfillment status associated with your order.
  3. If the order has been fulfilled, select it to view additional details.

Customers with a CMUSupply.com account can also view their order status through the Order History section. If you haven't received a shipping confirmation email, contact Customer Service.

I still haven't received my order. What can I do?

Orders placed during office hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm EST) are typically processed within 2–3 working days. Delivery times depend on the carrier, destination, and shipping method. Some deliveries are not made on Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays and will be made on the following business day.

If you are experiencing delays, contact Customer Service at CustomerService@CMUSupply.com or call 475-293-4268.

Why is my order late?

Policies & General

Why is my order being rejected or cancelled?

Pricing discrepancies can occasionally occur due to manufacturer or carrier price changes that aren't immediately reflected on our website. In such cases, CMU Supply reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order regardless of its status (even if confirmed or charged). If your credit card was charged before cancellation, we will issue a full credit to your card in the amount of the incorrect price.

What is CMU Supply's warranty policy?

CMU Supply stands by the products in our store. All product warranties are provided by the respective manufacturers. Warranties vary by manufacturer — please reach out to our Customer Service team or contact the manufacturer directly to learn about specific warranty coverage. CMU Supply may require that the item be sent to the manufacturer or a certified service center for inspection.

For warranty inquiries, contact Customer Service at CustomerService@CMUSupply.com or call 475-293-4268.

Order Issues

Why am I missing an item?

Check your shipping confirmation email to see if your order is being shipped separately. This can happen due to stock availability — items may ship from different warehouse locations. Also review your emails (including spam) for notifications about out-of-stock items. Any missing product or shortage must be reported within 7 business days.

Contact Customer Service at CustomerService@CMUSupply.com or call/text 475-293-4268.

I received the wrong products. What should I do?

CMU Supply assumes full responsibility when incorrect items arrive. Please contact Customer Service immediately upon discovering the error. All returned products are thoroughly inspected at the warehouse. Refunds are processed within approximately 14 days if returned merchandise meets our return policy standards, with funds returned to your original payment method.
