At Gaptecnologias, we understand the anticipation of receiving your new kitchen products promptly. To ensure that each order meets our high standards of quality and accuracy, we adhere to the following processing schedule:

  • Processing Duration: All orders are processed within 1-2 business days from Monday to Friday. Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will commence processing on the next business day.

  • Order Confirmation: Once your order is processed, you will receive an order confirmation email detailing your purchase and the estimated shipping date.

During the processing period, our dedicated team meticulously prepares your items, ensuring each product is carefully inspected and securely packaged for shipment.

2. Shipping Timeframe

After your order has been processed, we prioritize swift and reliable delivery to your doorstep:

  • Estimated Shipping Time: Your order will be shipped via FedEx and is expected to arrive within 5 to 6 business days from Monday to Friday.

  • Business Days Defined: Business days are considered Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.

Please note that while we strive to adhere to these timelines, unforeseen circumstances such as severe weather conditions, carrier delays, or other logistical challenges may occasionally affect delivery times. We appreciate your understanding and patience in such events.

3. Shipping Costs

At Gaptecnologias, we believe in providing exceptional value to our customers:

  • Free Shipping: We offer free shipping on all orders within the United States. There are no hidden fees or minimum purchase requirements to qualify for this offer.

  • International Shipping: Currently, we do not offer international shipping. We are focused on providing the best service within the United States. If you reside outside the U.S. and wish to place an order, please contact our customer service team at [email protected] to discuss potential options.

4. Shipping Methods

To ensure the safe and timely delivery of your home kitchen products, we partner exclusively with FedEx:

  • Carrier: FedEx is renowned for its reliability, extensive network, and excellent tracking capabilities.

  • Delivery Options: Depending on your location and the size of your order, FedEx may offer various delivery options to best suit your needs, including standard ground shipping and expedited services.

5. Order Tracking

Transparency is key to a positive shopping experience. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing your FedEx tracking number.

  • How to Track: Use the provided tracking number on the FedEx Tracking Page to monitor the progress of your shipment in real-time.

  • Notifications: You will receive email updates as your package progresses through the shipping process, including notifications when it is out for delivery and when it has been delivered.

This allows you to stay informed about the status of your delivery from the moment it leaves our warehouse until it arrives at your doorstep.

Our shipping services are currently available exclusively within the United States:

  • Eligible Locations: All 50 states and the District of Columbia.

  • PO Boxes and APO/FPO Addresses: We are unable to ship to PO Boxes, APO, or FPO addresses. Please provide a valid physical address within the United States when placing your order.

7. Taxes

We strive to make your shopping experience as straightforward as possible:

  • Free Tax: Gaptecnologias offers free tax on all eligible purchases within states where we are required to collect sales tax. This means that the total price at checkout includes any applicable taxes, and you will not be charged additional tax fees.

  • Tax Regulations: Tax regulations vary by state, and the inclusion of tax in your total depends on your shipping address. If you have any questions about tax applicability, please contact our customer service team.

8. Delivery Problems

We will do our best to correct the address with FedEx before the shipment is dispatched. However, once the order has been shipped, changes may not be possible, and additional shipping charges may apply for redirection.
