Shipping & Returns
Q: When will my order ship?
Orders received by 5PM Eastern Standard Time M-F typically are processed the same day received. Shipping times will vary depending on your location and selected shipping options. Typical shipping times range from 1-5 business days and may vary during the holiday season.
For UPS and USPS shipments you can track the progress of the order using their order tracking number available on your order information page. Shipping delays can occur when the wrong address or zip code is submitted for the shipping address. If the shipping company cannot deliver the package we will contact you via phone or email.
Some items are built to order and can take longer to be shipped out.
Q: What shipping options are available?
Watson diesel offers our customers the option of selecting ground, 2nd day, next day, via United Parcel Service (UPS) or priority mail through either the United States Postal Service (USPS). Some larger items such as bumpers must be shipped truck freight due to their weight and size.
Q: How are returns handled?
If an items needs to be returned, the customer is responsible for the return shipping fees and should obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Number. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 517-990-5150 to discuss the reason for the return and make the necessary arrangements. The restock fee for returned items is 15%. The amount of the refund will not include the shipping cost or the return shipping cost. If an item was sold with free shipping, we reserve the right to deduct that shipping cost from the refund. Items must be returned in new condition along with original packaging and paperwork. Customized products are not returnable.
Credit for returned parts will be issued once Watson Diesel receives, inspects, and approves returned merchandise. Follow instructions and warnings on packaging before opening. Pay attention to the label on the outside of the box to ensure your new parts match the vehicle to which you are fitting them. You are responsible for repackaging returned items to the same standard in which they were received. Poorly repackaged products are highly likely to be damaged during the return and thus credit denied. Customers are reminded to unpack, dry fit and examine all parts before installation.
For Non-Defective Parts: The item must have been purchased from Watson Diesel within the past 30 days. The original invoice number must also be provided. Products must be in the condition you received them in and must be in the original box and/or packaging.
For Defective/Warranty Parts: The item must not have exceeded the manufacturer warranty period. We will act as a liaison to resolve the issue or get you the proper contact with the manufacture to handle your warranty claim. Contact us to find out the proper way to handle the warranty based on the product/manufacturer.
For All Parts: Watson Diesel must first be contacted either by phone, or by email. The return must be approved by the Watson Diesel Returns Department prior to shipping your parts. This insures that they will be expecting your parts to arrive and that you ship the item to the correct address. The returned items must match the parts and descriptions given in the RMA.
- Watson Diesel reserves the right to refuse credit according to, but not limited to, the following conditions:
- The Item is returned for a non-warrantable reason.
- The Item is not as described on the RMA.
- The Manufacturer requires that you deal directly with them regarding defective items.
- The Manufacturer's Warranty policy takes precedence on issuing of credits. Credit may then be issued upon the Manufacturer’s approval. No credit will be issued for labor expenses incurred. Other Manufacturer related fees may apply.
- Items returned because of missing parts will be handled by the Manufacturer.
Once a return has been approved, we will refund to the same method that we received payment. (IE: your credit card that was used to make the purchase). We will submit for the refund once the returned item has been inspected and credit approved (normally 1-2 days after receiving the item).
RMA FormQ: Do you ship outside the continental U.S.?
We currently ship to all 50 U.S. states as well as Canada and Puerto Rico. Please understand that our website might not properly calculate the cost of shipping outside the 48 states. If the shipping cost is different, we will contact you with the cost to see how you would like to proceed.

Q: California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

FAQ
Q: Will I receive a tracking number?
Yes, we will always provide a tracking number when possible. However some vendors will ship USPS and do not have a tracking number to provide.
Q: What is the core charge?
The core charge is a fee that is charged unless we receive the parts that you are replacing. You can avoid a core charge by sending in your parts first and allowing us to hold your new parts until your old ones arrive. Your old parts must be in rebuildable condition. Some manufacturers will not give full/any core credit if the items are damaged. Cores must be returned within 30 days of product delivery.
Q: What if the item I’m looking for isn’t on the website?
If you can not find what you are looking for, you can email us at watsondieselservice@gmail.com or call us at (833) 229-0400. We are always adding more products and have access to thousands of products that are not on our website. Let us know if you have something in mind that you would like to see added.
Q: Is there a warranty on parts?
Warranties vary, so check our website or give us a call for details. Most parts include a 30 day return policy as well.
Q: How long will it take for delivery?
Most items arrive in 1-5 business days. However, some items such as bumpers need to be sent via freight and may take up to a week and half to arrive. Items may also be on backorder by the manufacturer, which will extend the delivery time. You will be notified if you order is on backorder.
Q: How do I return my order?
Returns are handled on a case by case basis so you’ll have to contact us to determine the proper approach.
Q: How do I find my PCM code for the 6 position chip?
The PCM is located next to the parking brake on the side wall under the dash. Make sure you disconnect your batteries and keep that key out of the ignition. Under the hood - Remove the harness plug from the PCM (have to use a 10mm socket to loosen the bolt in the center first)...the code is on the fender side of the PCM where the harness plugs in. You will need a flashlight and small mirror to read the code. If you can not see the code or don’t have a small mirror, go under your dash behind the E-brake pedal and remove the 2 7mm screws that hold the black plastic PCM bracket and remove the entire PCM. The PCM code will be 4 bold digits. It is three letters and one number (example: PMT1 or XLE4).
Q: Do you accept returns?
Yes, we have a 30 day return policy on most items. Please visit out Shipping and Return policy page for more information.
Q: Can I get a catalog?
Of course! Visit the CATALOG page on our website or contact us with your request.
