We may also ship orders with multiple items from different warehouses so it is possible you will receive your items on different days.If you choose next day air service, it does not necessarily mean you will receive your order the next day from the order date, it means that you will get it the next carrier service day (usually excludes holidays and weekends) from the date it is shipped. Any offer for free shipping may be shipped via ground service if a suitable warehouse can achieve offered delivery time via ground service. Free shipping offers are eligible only within the continental USA. Orders with free shipping will usually be delivered within 5-8 business days. We process and ship free shipping orders in the most cost-efficient way possible so we can pass the savings on to you in the form of free shipping. This means that we’ll optimize our fulfillment operations by taking a little longer to ship out if necessary.

Customized, built to order items, and special services will take longer to deliver depending on the specifics of the order. Portable One performs most upgrades in out integration center in CA. If you select upgraded RAM, SSD, Hard Drive, etc you are ordering a customized laptop and should expect it to usually ship in 3-5 business days from your date of order. We will inform you of any known delays beyond this period. Factory built-to-order laptops can take two to eight weeks to manufacturer and are non-refundable once the order is placed with the manufacturer unless the manufacturer allows the order to be canceled. This is out of the control of Portable One. Customer agrees to these terms for built to order and customized items.

Shipping Delays

Lost Packages: Once an order is shipped, it is up to the carrier to deliver the product. Portable One, Inc will not be able to stop the shipment once it is shipped. If the carrier loses the package, claims must be filed with the carrier. We will not be able to ship a replacement product until or unless the carrier confirms that the package is lost and or will not be delivered to its destination and they will reimburse us.

Signature Requirement: Every package we ship requires a customer signature, if a package is returned to us because no one was available to sign for it or the address was input incorrectly at the time the order was placed, you will be charged again to ship it out a second time.

Weather: Sever weather occasionally causes delays for carriers.

Customizations: Customized products are brought to our integration center for customization prior to shipping. This generally adds 1 to 3 business days for most upgrades. Timeframes for special OS or software installs will vary. These items are clearly identified.

Built to Order Items: Manufacturers such as Panasonic and Itronix manufacturer many of their products on a per-order basis. As such, these items can take from two to eight weeks to manufacture and ship. These items are clearly identified.

Pricing and Typographical Errors

Due to the fast pace of technology, all prices are subject to change without notice. We make every effort to list the most accurate, up to the minute information. Despite our efforts, and although rare, some items on our website may be mispriced. If a product is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical, photographical, or technical error or error in pricing from our vendors, Portable One, Inc. reserves the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for a product listed at the incorrect price.

If your credit card has already been charged for the incorrect price, we will immediately refund your card and cancel your order. You may also repurchase it for the correct price if you wish to do so.

Due to the volatility in pricing for technology products, we will not offer price protection beyond 24 hours of the purchase, estimate or price quote unless you obtain a formal quote from us ahead of time specifically stating details of the price protection. An estimate with an expiration date does not constitute price protection.

Order Acceptance Policy

Your receipt of an electronic or phone order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order. Portable One, Inc. reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason.

Price Matching

If you find a better price on any product at another authorized retailer, we will try to meet or beat that price.

• Product must be in-stock and be brand new merchandise.
