ONLINE CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICIES
Thank you for shopping online at Alpha Shooter world. We appreciate your business and want to make sure you have a rewarding experience while shopping with us.
As with any shopping experience, there are terms and conditions that apply to transactions on this Site (as defined in our Terms of Service). By placing an order, making a purchase online, registering as a user or otherwise using this Site, you agree to the terms set forth below along with all other applicable policies, terms and conditions posted on this Site, including our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Order Status
The easiest way to check the status of your order is by using our Order Status page. There you can check the latest status of an order by simply entering your Order ID number and associated billing zip code for the order you wish to track. You may also take advantage of tracking all of your recent orders by becoming a registered user and using the Order History feature when you sign in to your account page.
You will also receive emails that will keep you up to date on the status of your order. These emails will be sent to the email address provided during checkout.
Please note that update notifications will typically take a few minutes to process after your order is received.
Here is a quick guide to explain the most common order statuses:
Submitted – Your order has been successfully placed and is on its way to being processed.
Processing – We are assembling your order and packaging it for shipment.
Shipped – The carrier has picked up the package and is in route to delivery
Payment Information
Online purchases can be made using any valid U.S. Bitcoin, Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal .
Promo Codes
Alpha Shooter World may feature coupons and promotional (“promo”) codes that can be redeemed towards discounts on qualifying purchases. In-store coupons cannot be redeemed on the Site. Promo codes which are applicable toward online purchases can be entered in the “Got a Promo Code?” section found on the Cart and Payment pages. Please be sure to copy and paste the codes exactly as they appear, as the codes are case sensitive. If your order qualifies for that promotion, then you will see the discount reflected in your cart. Note that only one entered promo code can be applied to an order. Thus, if you enter multiple promo codes, then only the last-entered promo code will be applied.
Sales Tax
In accordance with applicable law, Alpha Shooter World collects sales tax (if any) on orders based on the shipping address. You will be notified of the initial estimated sales tax amount during checking out. However, depending on the date shipped, and other applicable laws, you may ultimately be charged a different sales tax amount than the initial estimated sales tax amount, in which event your initial estimated charges will be adjusted to reflect the updated sales tax amount.
League Loyalty Program
The Alpha Shooter World League Loyalty program is only applicable to in-store purchases and does not apply to online purchases. Additional information is available on our site.
Cancellations
Customer Cancellations
If you wish to cancel an order that has not been processed yet, then please contact our customer service department via email: sales@alphashooterworld.com. If your order has not been processed, then a customer service representative may cancel it for you, in which event we will send you an email confirmation and any charge associated with the canceled order will be dropped. Please note that our goal is to process and ship all orders as quickly as possible. Thus, your available time to cancel an order may be limited.
Our Cancellations
If an issue results in our failure to fulfill your complete order, then we may cancel the order. Such issues may include, but are not limited to, complications with item availability, limitations on quantity, payment processing, or pricing errors. If an issue like this does occur and your order is canceled, then we will send you an email notification, and any charge associated with the canceled order will be dropped. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any items purchased.
Returns
Alpha Shooter World wants you to be happy with all of your purchases from us. If you are not satisfied with your online purchase, then you may return it through the mail. Online returns are detailed further below. Please note that shipping charges paid for delivery of your package are not refunded as part of your return.
To Return by Mail
Instead of an in-store return, online purchases may be returned by mail, as described below. .
- Returns by mail require issuance of a Return Merchandise Authorization (“RMA”) prior to the return shipment. To request an RMA, please contact our customer service department email: sales@alphashooterworld.com.
- Returns by mail require issuance of an RMA within ninety (90) days from the date of purchase.
- Using the original shipping packaging when possible, securely pack the item(s) along with all included parts, paperwork, and accessories. If you are unable to use the original shipping packaging, then you may use any other similar shipping packaging for the return. All products must be returned in original condition, to ensure a full refund.
- As part of the RMA process, you will be issued a return shipping label via e-mail. Print the label, remove all other labels from the return package, attach the return label to the package and drop it off at the nearest FedEx carrier pickup location. No additional postage is required. Return shipments are charged our then-current standard shipping and handling rate (and associated tax, if applicable) including surcharges for items marked for oversized shipment. The return shipping and handling charges will be deducted from the return credit issued. To avoid such deduction, you may use the in-store return process. If your order used a promotional shipping and handling rate, or if our shipping and handling rates have changed, then return shipping and handling rates may differ from the rates applicable to your original order. You may obtain an estimate of the shipping and handling charges by contacting Customer Service. Please note that surcharges for Alaska and Hawaii may apply.
- Refunds for qualifying returns will be issued to the original form of payment and will be processed within 30 days of our receipt of the returned item(s). Please note that refunds for gift returns will be issued to the original purchaser.
- We recommend keeping the return tracking number for your return package. You may track your return shipment with the tracking number at www.ups.com/track. The risk of loss and title for items shipped by you do not pass to us until we receive the items from the carrier.
Shipping
Shipping Timeline
Items listed as “In Stock” are typically expected to ship within 1-2 business days (not including weekends or holidays) of processing your order. Thus, weekends, holidays, special promotions, and other factors may delay shipment of some orders. Please note that currently, shipping carriers are reporting that they are operating beyond their planned capacity, which may result in delays for pickups and deliveries.
Shipping Options & Rates
For items not marked Oversized you will be prompted to choose between the standard ground shipment or an expedited shipment level of service. Shipping and handling charges are presented in your cart during checkout based upon the level of shipping service you select. Promotional rates, such as “Free Shipping,” only apply to standard ground shipping and handling charges for qualifying orders and shipping destinations. Items marked for Oversized delivery are not available for delivery to Alaska and Hawaii and will incur additional shipping surcharges as displayed during checkout.
Our Ground service is delivered via FedEx and has an estimated delivery between 5-7 business days from the date of shipment.
Our Expedited service is delivered via FedEx and has an estimated delivery between 2-4 business days from the date of shipment.
Our Oversized service is delivered via FedEx and has an estimated delivery between 5-7 business days from the date of shipment.
Any gift cards ordered will ship separately and will be sent via the United States Postal Service.
At this time we do not ship to PO Boxes.
Our shipping and handling charges take into consideration typical costs associated with processing orders, handling and packaging products, and delivering them. Due to the variable nature of such costs and the flat rate (or stepped rate) nature of our charges, in certain instances our actual costs for a particular order may vary from the shipping and handling charges applied to your order.
The risk of loss and title for items purchased by you pass to you upon our delivery of the items to the carrier.
Shipping Internationally
We do not ship to international addresses, international freight forwarders, APO, FPO, or territories.
Shopping & Online Products
Pricing
Big 5 Sporting Goods is dedicated to offering you the best prices for quality sporting goods gear, outdoors gear, and other products. These prices may vary in our online and retail stores and are subject to change without notice. While our goal is to prevent any error in posted product and pricing information, these errors may still occur. In the event of such an error, ASW reserves the right to cancel any order containing these errors at its sole discretion. If your order is canceled, then we will send you an email to the email address that you provided at checkout. Items in your shopping cart reflect the current price displayed on the item’s product details page. Please note: This price may differ from the price displayed when the item was first placed in your shopping cart. If an item you have purchased is reduced in price within 30 days of your order date, we will happily adjust the sale price for you upon your request. Please note that we can only make one sale adjustment per item and such adjustment cannot be combined with other offers not in effect at the time of adjustment.
Inventory Status
ASW offers a store locator tool to help you locate one of our nearby retail stores which may have the product displayed in stock. Because our store inventory is always changing, the stock status information is approximate and an item’s availability cannot be guaranteed. To verify availability, please call the store and reference the SKU number displayed above the product title.
Items which display an orange “Add to Cart” button after choosing a color and size combination are available in stock and available for purchase online at that time, according to our records.
