shipping & returns policy
At Steel Horse Formulations, we appreciate your business and are committed to providing high-quality products and excellent customer service. Please review our Shipping & Returns Policy before placing your order.
Shipping Information
Order Processing
Most orders placed Monday through Friday before 2:00 PM Central Time (CT) are processed and shipped the same business day.
Orders placed after 2:00 PM CT, on weekends, or on recognized holidays will be processed on the next business day.
Please note that following major holidays or during periods of unusually high order volume, processing may take an additional
1–2 business days. We appreciate your patience during these peak periods and work diligently to ship all orders as quickly as possible.
Because orders move quickly through our fulfillment process, we cannot guarantee order cancellations, address changes, or other modifications after an order has been placed. If you need assistance, please contact Customer Support immediately, and we will make every reasonable effort to accommodate your request.

Shipping Address Accuracy
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address at checkout, including apartment or suite numbers, ZIP codes, and any other required delivery information.
Before completing your order, please carefully review your shipping address for accuracy. Address auto-fill and auto-complete features provided by browsers or mobile devices may occasionally insert incorrect information, including ZIP codes, apartment or suite numbers, or street names. Customers are responsible for verifying that all shipping information is complete and accurate before submitting an order. Steel Horse Formulations cannot be held responsible for delays, returned shipments, or lost packages resulting from incorrect shipping information provided at checkout.
Steel Horse Formulations is not responsible for packages delayed, misdelivered, returned, or lost due to an incorrect or incomplete shipping address provided by the customer.
If an order is returned to us because of an incorrect address, refused delivery, or an unclaimed package, the customer will be responsible for any additional shipping charges to reship the order. Returned merchandise may also be subject to the applicable restocking fee described below.
Once a package has been accepted by the shipping carrier, responsibility for delivery transfers to the carrier. While we are happy to assist customers with carrier claims when appropriate, Steel Horse Formulations cannot guarantee reimbursement for carrier-related delays, loss, theft, or damage that occurs after shipment.
Lost or Stolen Packages
Once a shipment has been marked Delivered by the shipping carrier to the address provided at checkout, the order is considered fulfilled.
If you believe your package is missing after being marked as delivered, we recommend that you:
-
Verify the shipping address on your order confirmation.
-
Check around your property, including porches, garages, parcel lockers, mailrooms, or other common delivery locations.
-
Ask household members, neighbors, or your property manager if they accepted the package on your behalf.
-
Contact the shipping carrier directly to request delivery details or GPS delivery confirmation, when available.
If you are still unable to locate your package, please contact our Customer Support team. We will gladly assist you in working with the shipping carrier and, when appropriate, help initiate a carrier claim.
While we will make every reasonable effort to assist, Steel Horse Formulations is not responsible for packages that are lost or stolen after the shipping carrier has confirmed delivery to the address provided by the customer.** Refunds or replacements for packages marked as delivered are issued at our sole discretion.
