This is news that will appeal to people who thrash on their junk at the last minute all the time. Yes, that does mean all of us! Summit Racing Equipment announced earlier today that every order placed Monday-Friday before 10PM Eastern Standard Time will ship same day. Obviously this applies to parts they have on the shelf, and if you have ever seen Summit’s operation that have literally millions of things on their shelves.
If you don’t understand why this is a big deal then you have never been in a last minute thrash on a race car, project car, daily driver you need to get to work at the end of the week, etc. That also means you probably plan ahead, budget appropriately, and “know what you are doing”. Honestly, we’ll never get there, so having the ability to make a panic call at 9:59PM on a Tuesday night to get parts so our heap can hit the strip by Friday is pretty freaking cool.
Also, for rodders up in Kanuckistan, otherwise known as Canada, Summit has simplified their shipping charges to make them a simple one time deal and you will not have to pull additional cash out of your wallet when the parts arrive at your home or shop. That’s a winning situation as well!
Here’s the full press release from Summit Racing
Effective immediately, Summit Racing Equipment will ship orders placed as late as 10 pm Eastern Standard Time (ET) the same day. Same-Day shipping applies to parts that are in stock when the order is placed.
“Our ship today promise now covers orders placed at late as 10 pm ET, giving our customers extra time,” explained Jeff Winters, Summit Racing Chief Marketing Officer. “This is especially helpful for customers living in the Western United States, our overseas customers, and people who need ‘last-minute” parts to finish a project or to compete in a race. Summit Racing can now better meet their needs.”
Same-Day shipping applies to orders for in-stock parts that can be shipped by standard Ground Service. If a customer places an order for in-stock items by 10 pm ET Monday through Friday, Summit Racing guarantees that order will ship the same day. Customers living in the contiguous 48 states of the U.S. can expect their parts within one to two days.
