Q: How are my parts shipped?

A:Lingo ships parts domestically and internationally as per our customer requirements. Some customers prefer to setup their own pick-up with their own trucks or via a transportation agency. Lingo can also arrange to ship via trucking company, courier service, UPS, or Fed-Ex. Customers can advise their preferred shipping method and can use their own accounts (pre-paid) if preferred. Alternatively, if credit terms are established, we can arrange for shipment and add the shipping cost to the invoice. Lingo uses best judgement to ship, factoring in size of shipment, delivery window, and cost if a preferred method or carrier is not selected.
