Shipping & FAQ

How much is shipping & handling? Free shipping & handling on orders $99 and over. Orders less than $99 incur a flat rate shipping & handling fee of $9.95. Most orders deliver either First Class Package service or Priority Mail. See "How fast will my order be shipped" below.

How fast will my order be shipped? Products that are in stock at time of receipt of the order will be shipped within 24 hours (excluding Saturdays and Sundays). The most efficient carrier will be chosen according package size and delivery area. Most orders are shipped either United States Postal Service Priority Mail which usually delivers in 2-4 business days, but can take as long as 7 days, or First Class Mail which usually delivers in 3-5 days.

Generally larger items (saddles, saddle pads, cowboy boots) ship FedEx or UPS. Please allow 5 - 7 days for delivery. UPS and FedEx do not ship to P.O. boxes. They prefer an updated street name and number instead of the old rural route address if you have one. If you have any special instructions or concerns with shipping methods, please let us know in the 'Order Instructions' area during checkout.

Freight and packages are taking longer than expected to arrive in the customer's possession. We know this can be frustrating, but please know that once the package is in the carriers hands, we do not have much control of the timely manner items are delivered. We will do everything we can to assist you and help with tracking and scheduled delivery.

Need your order faster? If you prefer a quicker shipping method such as Next Day please call - 269-651-7902 - or email - BrreLhorse@aol.com. Expedited shipping within the continental United States is done through the United States Postal Service, UPS or FedEx. Extra charges will be billed to your credit card for special requests for shipment. If you prefer another shipping method, please contact us with specific instructions. The risk of loss and title for all merchandise ordered from Running Hard Products pass to you when the merchandise is delivered to the shipping carrier.

In the event we are out of stock on an item, we'll make every effort to locate your product if our distributors cannot supply our needs. If we are unable to fulfill your order in a timely fashion, we will notify you by e-mail or phone with possible substitutions as well as an estimated ship date of the item.

How do you know we received your order? You will receive an "Order Confirmation" email after you pay for your order. If you do not receive that email do the following - #1 Check your Spam folder. #2 Wait a few minutes then check your email/Spam folder again. If you still do not have an "Order Confirmation" email, your order did not process. This has only happened 6 times in 3 years so it's not common, but it can happen, especially around the holidays.

How fast will my custom color order ship? Orders for custom color items (Martha Josey reins, braided hand quirts, etc) can take up to 4 weeks (or longer depending on the time of year). We try to keep the most popular custom color items in stock, but some items have 16,000 possible color combinations. We just can’t keep that many color combinations of one item in stock.

Do I have to place my order online? We know that not everyone is comfortable placing orders online, so we can take your order and information over the phone at 269-651-7902. If no one answers please leave a message. We will call you back within 24 hours. If we don’t call you back, we didn’t get your message. 

Do you charge sales tax? Orders shipped within the state of Michigan are charged sales tax.  

Do you ship internationally? We can! International orders are generally shipped the cheapest via First Class Package Service or Priority Mail. Most Priority International shipments take an average of 7-14 days to arrive. First Class International delivery time varies by location.
