Shipping Polices

Special! Get FREE standard shipping on all domestic orders of steno writers and most products! If you are ordering from outside the US you can add the item to your cart, view your cart and by putting in your basic address info it will give you a shipping quote. International shipping quotes do not include any additional taxes or import fees imposed by the destination country. If there are any questions, please call at 00-1-561-642-2862 or email us at sales@stenoworks.com for additional information.

All shipping quotes are for transportation only and do not include shipping insurance or duties.

If an item is returned, normal shipping charges will be deducted from the refund - in other words, if you keep the item, the shipping is free - if you return it, then the shipping is not free. All refunds, credits, and exchanges are for the value of the equipment only, and do not include shipping charges. Any orders that are refused at time of delivery will be subject to all associated shipping costs including the shipping costs for the product(s) to be returned. A handling fee may also be charged for orders that have been processed and shipped, and then refused at time of delivery. Offer is good until further notice and may be revoked or changed at any time. Free shipping offer does NOT apply to orders outside of the continental US or international orders. If you have any questions regarding this free shipping offer, please direct them to sales@stenoworks.com.

All items are shipped from Florida. We use FEDEX, UPS and the US Postal Service. Our general cutoff for shipping is 2:00PM EST. Most in-stock orders are shipped within the time frame noted in the shipping options, but there are exceptions. As you may already know, many of our products are refurbished and require testing and customization by our own technicians, and these products are manufactured in exactly the configuration you desire. Orders containing "custom", "built-to-order" and "special order" items do not ship per the normal schedule. There is no identification on individual products to show status (special order, custom, built-to-order, etc.). If you need to know the availability of a specific item, please call us at 800-399-4605. Remember, seeing a product as available on our website is not an indication of "in-stock" status.

In some cases, we can ship products sooner, even the same day they are ordered, depending on stock availability and the workload on our technicians. If you need an order to arrive on a specific day, please call us and we will make every effort to accommodate your needs. If you need an item expedited is best to call us to alert us to your expedited need. We will try our best to accommodate expedited shipping, however expedited shipping is NOT guaranteed by StenoWorks and we are not responsible for any delays incurred by the shipping company. If in doubt about stock availability, please give us a call. Please note that problems processing your credit card or receiving your payment will delay your shipment. We are happy to accommodate you anyway we can, so please let us know if you need an order expedited.

While expected dates of delivery of goods are given in good faith, the same are not of the essence of or in any way terms of this Contract or representations of fact. All shipping dates given are approximate, and while effort is made to maintain schedules, Seller will not be liable for damages on account of delay. Seller shall not be responsible for reasonable or excusable delays nor shall the Purchaser refuse to accept delivery because of any such delays. Excusable delays include, without limitation, delays resulting from accidents, fires, floods, severe weather or other acts of God, strike, lockout or other labor difficulties, embargoes, government controls or other forms of intervention, inability to obtain labor, materials or services and other causes beyond Seller’s control.

In some cases, to expedite a shipment, an order (or parts of an order) will be shipped right from the manufacturer or distributor to you directly (called a "Drop Shipment"), and may arrive via a different carrier than the one you selected. You are not charged extra for this - we pick up any additional shipping charge for this. This does not apply to international shipments.

Shipping rates are calculated automatically using our shopping cart system. You can receive a shipping quote automatically by selecting the items you want to order by placing them in your "shopping cart" and then hitting the "estimate shipping and tax link". StenoWorks reserves the right to substitute a different shipping method if using that method doesn't impact delivery times to the customer. Example: You select UPS and we use FEDEX instead.

International shipping rates are calculated on the website and are the responsibility of the customer.

Your order is not considered changed or canceled until you get a confirmation from a customer service representative that the change or cancellation has been completed.

All cancellations after the writer ships will be considered a return and subject to all return provisions as outlined under returns.

Return Polices

If you are having a problem with something you purchased from us, we want to help. If it is a StenoWorks product, please call our tech support department at 800-399-4605 and we will personally help you to resolve your problem. If the problem is with another manufacturer's product, we will do our best to help you, but you may find that contacting the manufacturer directly is a more effective way of getting answers to difficult problems. If the manufacturer informs you that a product that is still under warranty is defective, we recommend that you ask the manufacturer to replace it for you directly to minimize your inconvenience and costs. If they insist that you return it to us (instead of replacing it for you directly), we will help you get the product replaced, but all shipping costs will be your responsibility.

Writer Returns:

If you are not satisfied with your writer purchase please consider requesting a replacement or a different writer. Normally a replacement writer can be shipped with free return shipping in a timely manner. If you wish to return it you may do so within 10 days of receiving the item with a 10% restocking fee. All shipping fees and expedited prep fees are non-returnable or non-refundable under any circumstances. After the initial return period, any returns will be at our sole discretion and subject to a 25% restocking fee. NO RETURNS past 30 days.

Non-Writer Returns:

If the item you are not satisfied with is a not a steno machine, you may return it as long as it is in brand new condition with all packing materials and literature within 10 days from date of receipt with a 15% restocking fee. Any merchandise that needs to be returned for any reason (defective, unwanted, or otherwise) MUST be returned with all of the unaltered packing material, manuals, an unfilled without warranty cards, etc., so be sure to retain these items in brand new condition for at least 10 days. Products returned in any other condition, or with any missing items will be return to you at your expense.

LEASE TERM. This Lease shall begin on the start date of the initial payment date and shall continue through at least six (6) months for our rent-to-own plans and for at least three (3) months for our rent-only plans.

SECURITY DEPOSIT. In addition to the lease payment charge, the Lessee shall pay a security deposit, the amount specified by the type of equipment checked out, to the Lessor at the time that this Lease is signed. This deposit guarantees the full and faithful performance of the terms of this agreement. This deposit will be returned to the Lessee at the termination of this Lease, minus a re-stocking fee as per the plan chosen, subject to the option of the Lessor to apply it against Lease charges and damages. Any amounts refundable to the Lessee shall be paid within thirty (30) days after this Lease is terminated. The security deposit shall not bear interest. If the Lessee chooses to purchase after 6 months with the rent-to-own plan, 100% of the deposit is credited to the Lessee, along with 100% of the monthly rent.

PAYMENT TERMS. The Lessee shall make at least six (6) or three (3) payments of the initial monthly amount. The security deposit and the shipping is due before the equipment will be shipped and must be paid at the same time as the initial monthly payment. Changes to payment date must be requested at least 3 business days prior to the next payment date and subject to the sole discretion of the Lessor. The Lease payments shall be due whether or not the Lessee has received notice of a payment due.

PAYMENT TYPE. The Lessee shall authorize StenoWorks - The Court Reporting Store or any of their agents by agreeing to these terms and conditions to charge the monthly payments stated above and, if indicated, any deposits to the credit cards or debit cards listed in the equipment plan description. If the credit or debit card is cancelled, expires, or is invalid for any reason the Lessee’s must provide another credit or debit card which is accessible on the customer portal which is accessible at www.stenoworks.com. The Lessee’s will be personally liable for all charges and costs even if the credit card bank declines any such transactions.

SERVICE CHARGES. If any Lease installment is not paid within three (3) days of the due date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor a $25.00 late fee. If your credit card is declined for any reason and the installment remains unpaid, StenoWorks will notify you by email or phone. In the event that the Lessee’s debit or credit card declines more than once during the lease term; StenoWorks, at our discretion, has the right to require an additional $100.00 refundable deposit due within thirty (30) days of notice. Lease payments and service charges not received within thirty (30) days of the invoice due date will be assessed interest on the amount due from the invoice date through the date of payment of: 12% per annum.
