Shipping & Return Details

Quality Bus & Truck Parts specializes in used bus and truck parts.
All used parts are inspected prior to shipment; however, normal wear, discoloration, scratches, surface rust, cosmetic imperfections, and signs of previous use should be expected unless otherwise noted.
Product photos are intended to represent the part being sold whenever possible. Due to inventory turnover and multiple similar items in stock, the part received may vary slightly from the photos shown.
If you have questions about a part’s condition before purchasing, please contact our sales team.

Many of our used parts are not stocked on shelves and must be specially removed from vehicles after an order is placed. Because significant labor and inspection time is invested before shipment, these items are subject to the following terms.


Identification & Customer Approval

Whenever possible, we provide part numbers, VINs, descriptions, and/or photos for customer verification before pulling the part from the vehicle. It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm that the part is correct before authorizing the order.


Returns

Custom-pulled parts are not eligible for return if they match the part that was approved and shipped.
If we agree to accept a return as an exception, the following may apply:

  • Prior authorization (RMA) is required.
  • A Custom Part Pull Restocking Fee may apply and will be determined based on the labor required to remove the part, up to 50% of the purchase price.
  • Additional labor charges may apply for complex or time-intensive removals.
  • Shipping charges are non-refundable.
  • The customer is responsible for return freight unless the return is due to our error.

Acceptance of any return is solely at our discretion.


Incorrect Parts

If we ship the wrong part or the part does not match the order confirmation, we will replace or refund the purchase price at our discretion.


Customer Ordering Errors

Returns due to ordering the wrong part, an incorrect diagnosis, compatibility issues, changes to repair plans, or customer preference are generally not accepted for custom-pulled parts.

Who Is Covered

This warranty applies only to the original purchaser and is not transferable. Proof of purchase may be required.
