Robart Mfg. requires the credit or debit card security code for your card for any telephone or online purchase to protect against the unauthorized use of your credit card by other persons.

Thank you for choosing Robart. 

Due to the overwhelming number of packages that are going through all the carrier’s facilities (i.e., US Postal Service and FedEx), Robart is realizing a high amount of either lost packages or non-trackable packages.  Therefore, we are updating our shipping policy.

All shipments are considered FOB Shipping Point and any package in route are the responsibility of the receiver.  Therefore, carefully select your shipping carrier as this will be your responsibility.

For our US customers within the continental US as well as Hawaii and Alaska:

All orders over $100.00 must be shipped via FedEx.

Orders under $100.00 can be shipped via the US Postal Service Priority Mail or FedEx.

Orders under $15.00 may be shipped via the UPS Postal Service First Class Mail, US Postal Service Priority Mail or FedEx.

If you choose to ship a package via the US Postal Service, please understand that the advertised “2-Day Priority” does not necessarily mean that your package will arrive within 2 days.  Your package may take up to 15 days to deliver.  The US Postal Service First Class mail has minimal tracking with no guaranteed dates of delivery.

For our international shipping customer’s, we are no longer allowing US Postal Service shipping.  All packages must be shipped via FedEx.  Please also understand that the tracking information provided by FedEx is only an estimated ship date and is not guaranteed.  We have noticed that some packages are taking longer to reach the end destination than shown via tracking.
