Review the product title, material, dimensions, quantity, exact package contents, intended use, photographs, price and inventory status. You are responsible for checking that the product is suitable for your intended project.
Can product appearance vary from the photographs?
Minor differences may occur because of lighting, screen settings, photography or normal production variations. The product title, dimensions, quantity and included contents should be used when checking what is supplied.
Orders and Payments
What currency does the store use?
Prices and order totals are displayed in USD — United States dollars, unless checkout clearly states otherwise.
Which payment methods are accepted?
The payment methods currently available for your order are displayed securely during checkout. Only the options shown during checkout are available for the relevant purchase.
Why was my payment declined?
A payment may be declined because of incorrect billing information, insufficient funds, a bank restriction or a security review. Check the information entered and contact your bank or payment provider when further assistance is needed.
Can I change or cancel an order?
Contact South Central Hardware as soon as possible. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or update the order before dispatch, but changes and cancellations cannot be guaranteed after processing, packing or fulfillment has started.
Shipping and Delivery
Where do you ship?
The destinations currently available for an order are shown during checkout. An order can be submitted only when the selected address is accepted and a shipping option is available.
Do you offer free shipping?
Shipping charges, where applicable, are displayed during checkout. Free shipping applies only when a free-shipping option is specifically shown for the relevant order.
How long will delivery take?
Any processing or delivery timeframe displayed during checkout or in an order communication is an estimate rather than a guaranteed arrival date. Weather, remote destinations, address issues and service-provider delays may affect delivery.
Will I receive tracking information?
When tracking is available, the relevant tracking details may be sent using the contact information supplied during checkout. Tracking may require additional time to become active after dispatch.
What should I do if my order is delayed or missing?
Review any available tracking information and check for a delivery notice. Then contact South Central Hardware with your order number, delivery address and tracking information so the issue can be reviewed.

Can I send a return directly to the physical store address?
