Carl's Place Floor Mounted Projector Enclosure

Shipping, Returns & Warranty Policy

This policy explains how Simulator Direct handles shipping, freight delivery, returns, cancellations, warranty-related concerns, and replacement part requests for Carl’s Place products sold through Simulator Direct.

Important: Many Carl’s Place products are made-to-order, custom-sized, or considered wearable items due to their intended use in golf simulator environments. Please review this policy carefully before placing an order.

Shipping Policy

Simulator Direct processes and ships orders using trusted carriers to ensure reliable delivery and product protection. Orders are typically fulfilled through FedEx or UPS, with freight delivery arranged for oversized products such as full simulator enclosures, pipe framing kits, and large built-in components.

Lead Time & Processing

• Orders are generally processed within 5–7 business days, depending on product type, supplier lead times, order volume, and customization requirements.
  • Made-to-order products may require additional production time.
  • Estimated delivery dates are provided in good faith and may vary based on carrier schedules or supplier production timelines.
• Transit time typically ranges from 3–7 business days after shipment.
  • Delivery time may vary depending on destination, carrier capacity, weather, holidays, or freight scheduling.
  • Tracking details will be provided by email once your order has shipped.

Freight Deliveries & Lift Gate Service

Larger items such as pipe framing kits, built-in panels, and other oversized simulator components may ship via freight carrier. Freight shipments may arrive on pallets or in multiple heavy boxes depending on the product ordered.

• For non-residential deliveries without a loading dock, we strongly recommend selecting Lift Gate Service.
  • Lift Gate Service allows the freight driver to safely lower your shipment to the ground using a hydraulic platform.
  • This is especially useful for heavy enclosure frames, pre-cut pipe kits, built-in panels, or palletized shipments.
• Typical lift gate capacity accommodates loads up to approximately 1,000 lbs.
  • Customers should still be prepared to move the shipment from the drop-off location once delivered.
• Lift Gate Service of $185 will be automatically included in the price for any freight deliveries shipped as Residential.
  • For residential freight deliveries, lift gate service is already built into the residential freight option.
• Fees for non-residential lift gate service, where a loading dock is otherwise required, shall have a flat rate of $185 and may be offered as a product add-on option for customers who require it.
  • If a business location does not have a loading dock or forklift, Lift Gate Service is strongly recommended.

We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. However, due to the custom nature of many products listed for resale, certain return restrictions apply.

Warranty & Replacements

Carl's Place products are designed for long-term use but are considered wearable items due to their nature and purpose. Therefore, they are not covered under a traditional manufacturer warranty. Some visible wear may occur after the first use and is considered normal.

If you experience damage upon arrival or have performance concerns, please contact our support team with photos and your order number for assistance.

Replacement Parts

• Most components, including enclosure panels and screens, can be replaced individually.
  • Replacement availability may vary depending on product type, age, model, and supplier availability.
• To request a replacement part, email support@simulatordirect.com with your order details and the specific item required.
  • Please include photos if the replacement request is related to damage, fitment, or performance concerns.
