A: Unfortunately, we only ship merchandise which has been pre-paid. We apologize for the inconvenience. ^Top

Q: How do I place an order?
A: To purchase online, click on the "Add to Cart" OR "Add to Buggy" button and you will be directed to the shopping cart for review. You can continue shopping at this point or simply choose the quantities you would like and finalize your order. You will be given the opportunity to adjust your billing and shipping information and then you will be prompted for your credit card information. At this point, you will be ready to place your order. After your order is processed and approved, you will receive an email confirmation. Once your order has been processed for shipment, you will receive a shipment tracking number so you will have the ability to track your package.

All internet orders are placed with SSL (Secure Socket Layer) security and your order information is then encrypted before being placed in the database.

We do NOT sell or give out customer information to 3rd party companies PERIOD! ^Top

Q: Do you offer discounts on large orders?

A: We offer all standard Fed-Ex and UPS shipping options. We have partnered with Fed-Ex and UPS to ensure the best possible pricing on shipping. During the checkout order process, we contact UPS with the shipping information (zip code, weight, etc) to get pricing. To see what it would cost to ship your order, click on the "Shopping Cart" link at the top of the page after adding an item.

Q: Is there any delays for having my order shipped to a different address?

Q: What do I do if the item I receive is defective?
A: Though we do not knowingly sell any products that are considered by the factory to be "seconds", occasionally a defective product will slip through and reach a consumer. If this occurs, please contact us by using our contact form (linked to the top of every page on our site). ^Top

Q: How do I cancel an order?
A: Orders can be cancelled up until the time the item has been shipped. Please contact our Customer Support Center by Clicking Here to cancel your order. ^Top

Q: How are backordered items handled?
A: Backordered items are those that the manufacturer does not have in stock and is not expected to ship for 3-4 weeks. We endeavor to keep all items in stock in a good amount in order to quickly get your item to you. However, when an item is backordered from the manufacturer, we will ship out the in stock items via the shipping option you chose at the time of order placement. When the backordered item(s) becomes in stock, we will ship it out via UPS Ground for no additional fee. ^Top

Q: I'm not sure the knife I want to order is legal in my state. What do I do?
A: Knife ownership and carry laws differ from state to state, as well as municipality to municipality. You must be at least 18 years of age to order from Southwestgerberknives.com, and compliance with your local/state laws is solely your own responsibility. Contact your local law enforcement agencies for laws/ordinances/codes in your area prior to placing an order. ^Top
