Searching for Products:
The website is designed to search for products that match the Year and
Make of your vehicle. If you would like to refine the returned info,
just add the model name in the search window at the
top of the page.
If would like to see all of the products
that fit your particular vehicle, click the Search button at the top
of every page and enter you specific information. Such as: "ford
F250" or "1997 chevy suburban" (without the quotes).
Search Terms:
Vehicle model names that use a collection of letters and/or numbers
follow a simple convention like:
- S-10, S-15, C/K, HD, 1500, 2500, 3500
- F150, F250, F350
- RAM, 1500, 2500, 3500
- T100
(terms are Not case sensitive)
Pictures of products on the website:
Manufacturers only provide a sample set of pictures for their products.
In most cases, we use a picture that is similar to the actual item to
show what it looks like in the general sense. Typically the actual picture
is not available.
Shipping Costs:
Our shipping costs are based on weight and the zip code to were they
are being delivered.
*** Shipping
Special - Free Ground Shipping on all orders greater
than $200.00 with the following exceptions:
1) Does NOT include shipping or taxes.
2) Does NOT Include products that must be shipped Truck Freight.
3) Does NOT include shipments to Alaska
& Hawaii.
The shipping calculator uses a sliding scale so the more items you buy
the lower the overall shipping cost will be. As an example, you select
a husky floor liner, the shipping would around $10.00. Add a 2nd floor
liner, and the shipping goes up around $.80. Adding extremely heavy
items will increase it dramatically but you will save on shipping by
purchasing multiple items together rather than individually.
The Shipping Calculator can be found on the upper left side of every
product page in the neon box that says "SHIPPING CALCULATOR Click
Here".

Tracking Numbers:
Tracking Numbers for Fed Ex orders shipped from stock will typically
be emailed by Fed Ex 24 hours AFTER the product SHIPS. Tracking numbers
for UPS ground shipments are typically emailed by Ultimate Auto Accessories
24 hours after the products ships. If you mistype your email address
or have your email blocked by AOL or Earthlink you will not receive
a tracking number.
Vehicle Application years listed
on the tracking number email does not include my vehicle
model year - will it fit?:
YES... The product application years included with the tracking number
email may be out of date because the database is not as current as the
website.
I ordered a part# "56211__2"
but "56211" was delivered - will it fit?:
YES... Most code numbers used on the website are the manufacturers code
number. Sometimes the same code number is used in multple vehicles,
like Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac. The code numbers in our database must
be unique so the double underscore number is used to differentiate between
them. They are the SAME product.
Return of an item that had
Free Shipping:
On Non-Defective Returns - Items shipped with Free Freight will only
be credited for the difference after actual shipping charges are accessed.
Defective returns always credit shipping.
I tried to purchase more than
$250 with a Debit or Check Card and my order was Declined - Why?:
Most banks put a $250 limit per day on the use of a Debit or Check Card.
To make a purchase over the $250 limit you would have to contact your
bank to request a limit change or make multiple smaller purchases.
How do I pay with a
Money Order?:
Process your order on the website and select "Money Order"
for the payment method. In the field labeled "Money Order#",
enter the number if available, otherwise enter "Will Mail".
Send Money Orders with a copy of your order from the website to our
Mailing Address. We recommend you send your money order with a tracking
number so you will know it was delivered. Do NOT send it Certified Mail
which costs much more and has to be signed for. Make sure you include
your phone number and an email address so we can confirm your order
and send you tracking information.
Mail Money Order to:

DUPLICATE TRANSACTION
- I entered my credit info incorrectly or my browser froze- What do
I do?:
Our website has a safeguard to prevent individuals from committing fraud
by trying to use a stack of credit card numbers for the same order to
find one that is accepted.
If you entered your credit card information incorrectly,
then corrected it, and received the Duplicate Transaction message,
just wait 1 minute and try again.
If your browser froze, crashed, or reset after the submit button was
pressed our system probably has your order even though you received
no confirmation. The best thing to do is call us at 1-888-303-2651 or
email us at sales@UltimateAutoAccessories.com. We can determine whether
or not your order was received.
Do you ship outside the
U.S.A?:
Although our website is available worldwide our fulfillment centers
cannot ship to international destinations.
What does the terms "New Body
Style", "Heritage", "Club Cab", etc. mean?:
The auto manfacturers' have come up with some descriptive but sometimes
confusing naming conventions for their vehicles.
"New Body Style" - In 1999 Chevy introduced a new truck with improved
suspension and a new body style. But they had millions of truck parts
left over from the old body style, so from 1999 through the end of 2000
they built both "old" and "new" models. To make matters worse they did
not badge the vehicles differently - you just have to know. Also, the
old body style trucks got a mixture of suspension upgrades from the
new model throughout the 1999-2000 period so nobody knows what's under
there.
"Heritage" - In 2004, it was Ford's turn to upgrade the
F150. To use up the left over parts inventory they built "old"
and "new" models. But Ford added the badge of "F150 Heritage"
to designate that this truck was based on the 2003 model.
"Club Cab" - The Club Cab refers to 2 Door Extended Cab Dodge
Ram trucks built between 1994 to 2001/2002. A Quad Cab was introduced
in 1997 that had 4 doors with the rear 2 in reversed "suicide"
style. (The Ram 1500 model ran from 1994-01 and the Ram 2500/3500 model
1994-02). The "Quad Cab" Ram built after 2001/2002 has 4 full
sized doors and the Club Cab was discontinued.
DIMENSIONAL WEIGHT - How is this different than actual weight?:
Fed Ex and UPS have shifted their shipping rates to be based on the
size of the box versus the actual weight. The larger the box, the higher
the dimensional weight. Fed Ex and UPS now use the greater of
the actual weight or the dimensional weight. Many light products that
come in larger boxes, like floor mats, now have a dimensional weight
that is about double the actual weight. Also, oversized items like bed
caps or nerf bars now have a dimensional weight that exceeds their weight.
Our website has been adjusted to comply with the new dimensional weight
rates for Fed Ex and UPS.
