Order Confirmation:

The moment you place your order you will receive order confirmation e-mail. This means that we have received your order in our system and pre-authorized your credit card for the purchase.

As soon as we receive your order we automatically check to confirm that your order is in stock and available for immediate shipment. If your item is on back-order or unavailable we will void the pre-authorization and reach out to you via e-mail or phone to see if alternate arrangements can be made.

If your item(s) are available for immediate shipment (within 5 business days) we will process the charges and get to work preparing your order for shipment.

Order Shipment:

If your order is in stock and we process the charges to your credit card it will ship within seven business days from the date of your order.

We will send you shipping confirmation within 24 hours of your order leaving the warehouse to the e-mail address you provided when checking out.

From brand to brand shipping times may vary. However, you order will most likely be at your place between 5 to 14 days after you placed it.

If you do not receive shipping confirmation from us within six business days of your order feel free to follow up with us at support@offroadtents.com

Damages:

What To Do Before Accepting Shipment?

If your order has shipped please note that the tracking number may not be active until it reaches a freight terminal. This could take 1 to 2 business days from the date of this email.

Please inspect your package for damage prior to signing for it.

Off Road Tents takes pride in its products and packaging. Every tent that we ship out is properly classified, packaged, marked and labeled. Also each package is in the proper condition for transportation according to applicable regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation and/or international agencies.

Once your order is signed for at the delivery point, the package becomes your property and thus, our liability ends as far as shipping damage is concerned. Help protect yourself from loss or damage, or an uncomfortably painful claims process by:

1. Before Signing for your order, inspect the box or boxes for freight loss or damage. Red flags are punctures or any sign of forklift damage.

2. If any of the product(s) appear to be damaged or crushed do not accept delivery. Refuse the shipment and it will be sent back for processing.

3. It is extremely important that you inspect the box and tent (in case the item purchased is a tent) for damage BEFORE you sign to receive the tent. Please take photos of the box on the pallet exactly as it arrives. Please note, the driver will not help with damage inspection. IF you even suspect there could be damage to your item, please take pictures of the damage and REFUSE the delivery. That way the carrier will send it back to us and we'll process a new shipment.

4. Get a copy of the signed delivery receipt that shows the freight loss or damage notation, and send it to us: support@offroadtents.com

5. Contact Off Road Tents immediately at 1.844.200.3979

If you accept a damaged delivery, and/or there is freight loss and/or the damage is not noted at the time of delivery, Off Road Tents cannot be held liable for any replacement costs related to the shipment. Protect yourself from this by examining before you sign. Refusing delivery when damaged helps Off Road Tents win the case against the carrier, and replacing your item.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Off Road Tents we have the goal to make sure you are as satisfied as you can with your order. We understand we are in an industry where products can be technical, where the items you purchase can be a big investment, and often lead times can be long. Therefore, here's an FAQ page with important information that hopefully will answer all your questions.

Still, if you can't find what you're looking for in here, send us an email at: info@offroadtents.com or even better, call us at: 844-200-3979.

For the sake of making it all easier, we'll break this down into sections:

• Shipping
• Where is my order?
• Returns
• Damaged orders
• Financing & Payment Options
• Product Technical Questions

Let's begin with the first of these topics.

Shipping FAQs:

- Does Off Road Tents offer Free Shipping?

We do, ONLY on orders above $300, and NOT for off road trailers above $10,000. For orders below $300 we tend to offer the best rates possible, but please keep in mind that evne if an item costs $30 or $40, it might be either big, or potentially heavier than what it seems, therefore, the shipping rate can be more than what you're used on paying for a book or other items.

When it comes to trailers, we will need to quote you, as these are very big items that require special shipping methods. However, rest assured the cost won't be a surprise. We will handle it, and agree about it with you before the purchase is made.

The rest of the items, we offer FREE SHIPPING to the lower 48 only.

- Am I able to expedite my order with express or next day shipping?

Depends on the item. If it's an item that ships freight (such as a roof top tent), that's a no. We cannot.

If it's a smaller item, even a roof rack, we might be able, but please keep in mind the rates might be a bit high. Anyways, we'll get you the best quote, but you do need to ask us first.

This expedited shipping applies only to the transit time from the warehouse to the point of delivery. Expedited shipping may also be impacted by stock levels and what warehouse the shipment originates. 

Make sure you email us to: info@offroadtents.com in case you need to expedite an order!

- Does Off Road Tents ship outside of the United States?

No we normally don't. We can ship to Puerto Rico, for an increased rate. We are also happy to ship to any warehouse in the country, but you will then have to take care o the shipment to your country.

For Canadian customers, we regularly ship to the nearest freight center to the border, so you can drive down, pick your order ad then drive back up saving in shipping costs as well as duty and custom fees.

We can ship to Canada, but it's an expensive thing to do. Shipping rates are higher, plus customs and duty fees are a bit expensive. Email us so we can get you a quote and offer you the best option for you!

- Will Off Road Tents ship to AK, HI or Puerto Rico?

Yes we do. We charge a flat rate fee for roof top tents of $800. Why? Simple, it's very expensive to ship there, sometimes it costs us even over $1000.

If you have a carrier or some company you know, please email us, send us the information and we will gladly change the shipping fee to charge you as little as we can!

On other items such as racks, smaller accessories, we charge different shipping fees, but still, it'll be an additional cost, which might be expensive.

- Does Off Road Tents ship to PO Boxes or Military APO/FPO addresses?

At the moment, we don't ship to PO boxes, nor do we ship to Military APO/FPO addresses.

- What mail carriers does Off Road Tents use?

We use different carriers. When it comes to ground shipping or air, we use mostly UPS, FedEx and even USPS. When it comes to freight, we'll also use other carriers such as SAIA, ABF, Pilot Freight and such.

- When can I expect to receive my order?

We generally start processing your order the same day we receive it. It then takes us from 2 to 4 business days to get it out the door (please be patient as some of these items are big and bulky and require special boxing and shipment). 

After that, lead times can vary depending on your location and where it ships from.

For a more detailed view of lead times, view our full Shipping & Returns Policy.

Also, if the order has a lead time, we will contact you to let you know when exactly you can expect to receive it.

- Why might my items be shipped using truck freight?

Great question. Well, items such as roof top tents, off-road trailers and even some platform racks are way too big to ship on traditional delivery trucks. That means, the ground shipping UPS or FedEx trucks you see around, they're not really able to carry a roof top tent.

Plus, the items are way too heavy to ship by air.

Therefore, some items, especially tents and trailers, will ship truck freight.

Some of them, such as trailers, can only be shipped to a freight center given hoe big they are, and you will have to go pick them up there.

If you have any questions about how your order will ship, email us at: info@offroadtents.com.

- Will I need to sign for my order?

In some cases yes. If the order ships freight you will need to sign for it.

The truck driver will call you 48 to 24 hours ahead of the delivery date, to schedule a drop-off time. You will then need to be there to sign the package off, NOT BEFORE INSPECTING IT.

Please, if you have doubts on what to look for, take a look at How To Handle Your Order. It'll let you know in detail how to inspect a package before signing it off.

Other items that ship air or ground, will not require your signature, and will be left at your door.

Items that require signature:

- How can I get shipping insurance with my order?

We already insure your shipments for free. That's an additional service we offer. However, when we do so, if an items is damaged or lost, we need to go through the standard procedure of placing a claim, which can take up to 90 days to be resolved. Generally, they're solved before that, but it can take some time.

Also, our insurance will not cover you, if you sign off the package and accept it, only to later find the box is damaged.

Therefore, to fully cover your shipment from any damage, or if it's lost and stolen, you can purchase Route.

Route is a package protection company and service that is not affiliated to us, but you can purchase with your order and further protect it. We recommend you to do so, for the peace of mind, especially as they can refund you fully within 7 days in case an item is lost or stolen. So, although not necessary, we recommend it.

- Can I change my orders shipping designation after I placed my order?

After you placed your order, yes. After it shipped, no.

If you want to change the address, please email us to info@offroadtents.com IMMEDIATELY, and if you can call us to 844-200-3979 even better.

If the order has already shipped (and we have sent you the tracking number), then you cannot. We can try, but normally the cost of re-routing the package is quite expensive and not worth it. Still, if you want to do that, we can try and you'll have to pay the difference, but we cannot guarantee it.

Where Is My Order?

- How do I track my order?

As soon as your order has shipped, we will send you an email with a tracking number. Click on the email and it'll open a page where it will show where the package is.

You can also click the tracking code on that same page, and it'll lead you to the carrier's website (whether that's UPS, FedEx, etc), where you can paste the tracking number and follow it.

- I never received my order and shows that it was delivered. What should I do?

First thing you must do is inform us. We will check and make sure it shows as delivered and that it's not a problem from the carrier's website.

The second thing is to contact the carrier. We will gladly help you with that. But pressure from both sides always leads to a faster solution.

The third thing to do is to file. a police report at your local precinct, it usually takes only 15 minutes, and it'll make sure we have evidence of a missing or stolen package, so we can win the claim against the carrier.

With those 3 steps, we can together decide on the best solution for you!

Returns FAQs:

- Does Off Road Tents accept returns?

It depends. We do accept returns before 30 days have gone past since the item was delivered. You have 30 days to send back your product to either get a refund or an exchange.

We don't accept returns after 30 days.

We don't accept returns for products that have been used, installed, unboxed, or damaged by you.

We don't accept returns on items made on order, such as rock sliders, bumpers, or any CBI and Gobi product.

In order for you to return an item these criteria must be met:

1. No more than 30 days have gone by since you received it
2. Product must be unused, and in the original package
3. We need to get pictures beforehand, to approve the return
4. We will give you a Return Merchant Authorization number (RMA)
5. You will pay for the shipping back
6. You will be charged a 20% restocking fee

If the item has a manufacturing defect, it's covered by warranty, or was refused by you when delivered, we do accept returns, free of charge, and we will take care of it.

- Does Off Road Tents charge restocking fees?

There will be a 20% restocking fee plus the cost of shipping the item back to the warehouse it shipped from. Invoices for shipping costs can be provided to the customer if necessary.

At Off Road Tents we would love not to charge these fees, but once an order is placed, we get charged paying processing fees as well as fraud insurance fees, that once a customer decides to cancel, we lose that money. Therefore, we are forced to charge these cancellation fees.

Some of our products are made on order and have lead times that go from 4 to 28 weeks until they are delivered once the order is placed. Please read VERY carefully the product description, as well as the lead time email we send you, or ask our team, we will be happy to clarify any doubt regarding the lead time to receive your product.

If the case is you order a product with a lead time of 4 to 28 weeks, we will ask for your written confirmation and consent to proceed with the order. If you change your mind and decide to cancel after 48 hours (2 days) of placing the order, we will charge a 3.5% cancellation fee.

If you decide to cancel any of these orders after more than 15 days have passed since placing the order, we will have to charge a 10% cancellation fee.

If you order a Gobi rack, the cancellation fee will be of $550. ALL Gobi racks are made on order, which means order are generally final. Lead times can be long, and there might be delays of 1-8 weeks on their orders (rare, but it has happened). Therefore, after placing the order, if you decide to cancel after 48 hours from placing it, the cancellation fee is of $550.

- Where do I return my item(s)?

Before you return any item, we need to send you the exact address of the warehouse it'll be returned to. We ship from different warehouses around the country, so it will depend on the item or your location where you should send it to.

Before you send it back, you need approval from us, and we will also give you a Return Authorization Number (RMA) for you to label the package with.

- What are the shipping charges for returning an order?

If you want to return your order for any problem other than a manufacturing defect or warranty, then you will have to fully cover the costs of shipping it back to the warehouse. 

The exact cost depends on the rates of the carrier you want to use.

On top of that, we may charge you a restocking fee, which is generally of 20%.

- Why do I need a return authorization number (RMA)?

You need an RMA because the warehouse guys need to know what an item is and what is related to when it comes in. Also, we need to know exactly which is your package when it gets sent back, so we can inspect it.

If it gets sent without an RMA, it makes it harder for us to identify your package, and it can lead to waiting longer before you get refunded.

- Am I liable for the return shipping charges?

Yes, you must cover the shipping costs, and you will be liable if the item gets damaged when returned to us.

- What is the reason I might need to provide pictures of the product prior to shipping?

Take as many pictures as you can of the item you are returning, the box and making sure it's in a good shape. Then, take pictures before you ship it. That way, if damaged, you have grounds for a claim with the carrier.

- I can't print my return label. What should I do?

If you want to return an item for a manufacturing defect or a warranty problem, we will send you a return label. You can print it at home, or if you don't have a printer, you can print it at the local FedEx or UPS center.

If you are the one covering the return costs, and therefore it's you who are buying the label, we recommend you print it at your local FedEx or UPS center.

- How soon can I get a replacement or exchange?

If you send an item back to exchange it, it can take up to 30 days for you to get it back if the item is in stock. We first need to receive the original order, inspect it, and once approved for a return, we can exchange it.

If it's not in stock, we will let you know and you will be made aware of the lead time before you even return yours.

If it has a manufacturing defect, or covered by warranty, we will send you a replacement, the moment you send back the original defective item (and we'll cover the shipping costs on those).

- How long will it take to receive my refund?

To receive a refund, we must have your item at the warehouse, and inspect it to make sure it's in great condition. Once the return has been accepted, we'll issue a refund minus the restocking fee.

We need 5 business days after receiving the returned item to inspect it, then a refund will be issued, and it will take from 3 to 5 business days for your bank to issue the refund to your account.

We will send you a confirmation email once the refund has been made form our end.

If 5 days have gone by and you haven't gotten the refund, call your bank. 

- The product was a gift. How do I return it?

Simple, please email us at info@offroadtents.com with the item you have and when it was gifted to you. We will then see what order number it was and we will help you handle it!

- How long do I have to return an item?

30 days. After 30 days we won't accept any returns.

For items made on order, such as bumpers or rock sliders, as well as Gobi or CBI products, we don't accept returns.

- Why can't I return some items that were custom made?

We offer some customized orders, or items made on order, for example: bumpers and rock sliders.

These are items that need around 10 weeks to be made, and are only made on order. Therefore, we have a strict no returns policy, all sales are final.

As to items from brands such as CBI and Gobi, these are also made on order, so, once again, sales are final and no returns are accepted.

Damaged Orders:

- My order got damaged during shipping. What should I do?

Pleas read first How To Handle Your Order, so you know how to deal with a damaged shipment or package.

If you see the tent, rack or package is damaged, do NOT sign it, do NOT accept it, and REFUSE delivery. You will have to note to the driver you ar refusing it for damages, and we will replace it immediately.

If it was dropped at your doorstep, and it's damaged, do NOT open the box, send us pictures immediately, and we will handle it.

If after opening it, you find a damage, then send us pictures, and we will file a claim.

We have quite a few different payment options:

• We accept ALL credit cards
• PayPal
• Amazon Pay
• Google Pay
• Apple Pay
• Financing through Bread
• Bank transfer or ACH

- Is my card information safe with you?

- Do you offer financing?

Yes we do. We have three financing options:

• Bread
• Klarna
• PayPal

You will be able to check if you're eligible for financing at the product page, no need to go to checkout. Simply, as shown on the image below, click next or below the product image where it says: "As low as". 

Then as seen on the image below, it'll bring up a pop-up, offering different installments. You can there check the financing options available, and see if you qualify.

If you do, you can go and choose Bread at checkout.

If you want financing with PayPal, then you must select to checkout with PayPal, and choose the option to get financing WITH THEM.

If you are not eligible with Bread, and you don't have PayPal, email us, we can send you a special link so you can try to get financing through Klarna, another third party financing provider we partner with.

Please keep in mind all the financing options available are third parties.

- How do I choose financing at checkout?

If you choose PayPal, then once you're checking out through the PayPal portal, it'll give you the option to get financed by them.

If you email us because you want financing with Klarna, we'll send a special link, and you'll checkout there.

When it comes to Bread, it's quite simple, follow the normal checkout process, Add To Cart>Check Cart>Proceed to Checkout.

Then, fill the checkout page with your information, and at the final stage, instead of adding your payment information, choose the option to checkout with Bread, as shown below.

As shown on the steps above, you will choose Bread as checkout option, then click on "Complete Order". After that, a new page will load with the financing installment payment options, you'll click on "View Financing Options" and then start the process of filling out your information.

Sometimes Bread won't approve you. It happens. Don't worry, we have a few backup options.

If you're not approved, let us know immediately. Email us at: info@offroadtents.com or call us at 844-200-3979.

We can either:

Send you a link to try and get financing with Klarna, another financing partner we have.

Or, we can split your order total into different invoices to be paid in different credit cards.

For example, if the product costs $3,000, we are happy to send you 3 invoices, so you can pay them with three different cards, or two with two cards and the third with Bread or Klarna, or one with PayPal, another one with a credit card, and the third with a financing provider.

Whatever works for you, we will do our best to help!

- If I was approved, when will I get charged?

If you're approved for financing, it depends on the options either Bread, PayPal or Klarna gave you. However, you will not start getting charged until the item SHIPS, or 30 days have gone by.

Therefore, once we fulfill your order, your financing provider will start charging you.

Alternatively, if 30 days have gone by since you placed it, and the item hasn't been shipped (perhaps it was a backorder), then you will start getting charged!

If you have any questions or doubts about the financing and payment terms, you will have to contact the financing provider yourself.

Product & Technical FAQs:

- Do we offer Military Discount?

Normally we don't. Why? We already offer you NO TAX on all states except Wyoming, plus we offer Free Shipping on all orders above $300, except trailers.

As a result, this eats a lot of our margins, and we cannot really offer as many discounts as we'd like to.

On top of that, there are certain brands that by contract, we cannot offer any discounts on. So, once again, we cannot offer Military Discounts store wide.

We do make exceptions different times of the year, so be on the lookout!

- Do you offer any Warranties?

Of course we do. But warranties vary from item to item, from brand to brand, and there are different scenarios. Therefore, if you have any warranty questions or issues, email us at: info@offroadtents.com

Also, please read more about Warranties HERE.
