Every order in the continental U.S. will be charged a flat rate of $6.95 for shipping and handling. We will ship orders via UPS or a similiar carrier, except on large and/or heavy orders, when freight line carriers may be utilized. Orders outside the continental U.S. will be charged appropriate freight charges.

Dealer prices appear in this catalog in CODED form. Dealer prices are preceded by a code that identifies the origin of that part. USM = U.S. made, USS = sourced from a U.S. vendor and IMP = imported. For example, an item coded USM125 indicates the item is U.S. made, and the dealer price = $1.25. Products with the prefix of 001-099 are not subject to medalist discounts.

Parts Country of Origin (top)

Stens carefully selects vendors in America and overseas that share our commitment to high quality. All products, foreign or domestic, are subject to the same rigorous quality standards. Whenever possible, non-U.S. made items are labeled individually as to the Country of Origin. Certain small items cannot be individually labeled and therefore the bag or box is labeled instead. U.S. customs regulations asks the retailer to inform the consumer of the origin in this case.
