Are delivery times affected by weather?

Yes, occasionally. While most shipments arrive on schedule, severe weather can sometimes delay delivery times. Snowstorms, heavy rain, hurricanes, and extreme cold can affect carrier routes and transportation schedules, especially for freight deliveries. Since we’re based in New England, we’re well aware of how unpredictable the weather can be, and we monitor conditions closely to minimize disruptions.

If a storm or major weather event is expected, our team will proactively contact customers whose shipments may be affected. We’ll provide updated delivery estimates and keep you informed until the package is safely on its way. For freight orders, carriers often issue service alerts in advance, and we pass that information along immediately so you can plan accordingly.

We take every precaution to protect your parts from weather-related damage. All items leaving our facility are wrapped and sealed to prevent moisture exposure during transit. For larger items like engines or transmissions, we use protective shrink wrap and waterproof coverings so they stay dry even if the truck encounters rain or snow.

Our goal is to keep you updated and minimize delays as much as possible. While we can’t control the weather, we can control how we respond to it — with communication, professionalism, and preparedness. If weather slows things down, we’ll stay in touch until your order arrives safely.
