Shipping, Returns & Other Policies

Shipping, Returns and Other Policies

We recommend allocating longer lead-times for all shipments: We are shipping normally, however our shipping carriers FEDEX and UPS have reported pickup and delivery delays. We do offer expedited shipping, at an additional cost, should your business require greater delivery certainty.

These policies reflect your rights related to any and all orders placed though this website.

Tanning Buyers Group is committed to reducing costs and to ship effectively and quickly. Please read our shipping and returns policy in advance of placing your order so you can familiarize yourself with our shipping and returning standards.

All orders placed via the order system are immediately issued for fulfillment. During regular business hours most orders placed prior to 2pm EST ship same day.

All items are either shipped directly from our warehouses or directly from manufacturers on our behalf.

If you need assistance with any product purchase feel free to contact us using our contact details HERE

We have two sub-policies for FREIGHT.

- Large, Heavy or Bulk Shipping Policy - e.g. Tube Lamps, Equipment, and other Bulk Shipments

These policies are exclusive and are not to be combined. For example, an order with a combination of tanning lamps and lotions and supplies with be separated into two parts based on which policy applies to a given item. The value of the combined order does not make the order qualify for any unique promotions or discounts that may be effective at time of order.

To determine which policy applies to your order please review the relevant sections below.

Lotions and Beauty Supply Shipping Policy
(Excludes Lamps, Equipment and larger bulk items shipments see that policy if applicable below)

Most shipments arrive within 3 business days. TBG commonly utilizes third party carriers like FEDEX and UPS who exclusively control delivery dates and times. Our delivery parameters are estimates only the carrier is ultimately the source for detailed delivery information. If you do not have your order within 5 business days please contact us HERE

There is an additional fee to expedite shipping on your order. If you wish expedited shipping please NOTE it in the comments section during the checkout process along with a phone number we can confirm your wishes in advance of shipment as 2nd and Overnight costs can be quite high.

Most items are covered by the shipping systems quotes. However large, bulky and heavy items DO NOT QUALIFY and you will pay shipping on orders for larger items, such as tube lamps, sunless solutions tubs, parts & equipment.

TBG will use the most cost efficient method of shipment on these items. Shipment of NON QUALIFYING items may be done using UPS™, FEDEX™, common carrier or similar shipping method to ensure timely delivery with best pricing for your delivery.

This offer only applies to the contiguous states.

Receiving and Verification Policy (no lamps in shipment)

All costs associated with delivery of such shipments will be borne by the customer at the pre-authorized rate.
