Availability of Inventory

Occasionally, an item you wish to order may be out of stock or there may be fewer than you need. We do our best to ensure that this does not happen frequently; however, it is impossible to always predict the popularity and demand for items. Although inventory is monitored daily and re-orders are usually placed well in advance, there are many factors—too numerous to mention here—that can lead to an item being out of stock at a time that might be inconvenient to you.

You can help minimize inconvenience for everyone when you:
1. Order as far in advance of your in-hand date as possible
2. Warn us in advance if you plan on depleting all the inventory of a specific item.
3. Let us know if you have an upcoming need which cannot be met by the existing inventory quantity.
4. Chose an alternate item in case the one you want is out of stock.

Finally, if you really need something and there is no stock, please give RMG or Advance Auto Parts a call. It’s always possible that the quantities you need are already in production or close to being delivered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order merchandise even though the inventory is showing a negative balance?
Yes, as long as the item detail does not state "Limited quantities. No back orders will be accepted for this item."

Suppose I forget my Password?
Enter your email address in the form provided on the log in page. We will email your password to you. Depending on the speed of your server, this should only take a few moments. Minimize the Online Catalog and retrieve the password information from your required email “in box”.

What is the return policy?
Any merchandise that is defective or does not meet your expectations, please call RMG Customer Service at 877-331-0567.

How can I be guaranteed my order will ship out the same day?
You must have the order entered no later than 3:00 p.m. EST. Orders requiring expedited service will ship on the same day received if they are received by 3 p.m. EST. Expedited orders are orders shipping via Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air or 3 Day Select. Orders shipping UPS Ground or any other type of ground service will ship within 48 hours of receipt of order. Most importantly, the goods you ordered must be in stock. The Customer Service at RMG will call you if they encounter any potential problems with the order.

Is the Quantity Available an accurate number?
Yes, every effort is made to insure an accurate inventory count. In unusual cases, someone may be entering an order while you are on the page listing quantity available. Since the information is not refreshed until you transmit the order, there is a chance someone may have ordered merchandise ahead of you. There is also the possibility that some goods may not pass inspection once they arrive at a quality control work station. Overall, you can be confident the information is accurate. If you are using the merchandise for an event and need the exact quantity posted on the database, we suggest you call RMG Customer Service and request a count confirmation on the merchandise prior to shipment.

Who do I call if I have trouble with the online catalog?
First, refer to the technical tips section of the site. If you cannot resolve your problem, please call RMG Customer Service and ask for Technical Support.

Internet Security

We have made every effort to safeguard the information transmitted to this site. Below, we have provided some technical information that will help you understand the safeguards we have instituted for your protection.

We are utilizing the industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) security protocol that our database uses to interact with secure browsers. The secure browsers we support include Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Don't worry if you are not sure if your browser supports SSL. We have designed our catalog so that it will not allow you to transmit the order without SSL functionality.

Many parts of the database are used only to view information. The view only areas contain information that is not proprietary and does not contain confidential information. In order to gain maximum speed, these areas are not designated as secure areas. This is a common practice among all internet commerce sites.

In areas such as the check-out area, vital information is exchanged. In this area we use the SSL protocol to safeguard the data. In most browsers, your URL address will change from 'http" to "https. This is your cue that you have entered a secure area. Some browsers will even notify the user once they leave a secure site. A pop-up window will appear letting you know you have left a secure area. Do not be concerned if this message appears during your electronic session.

After your information has been transmitted, we process your order on a different server that is not connected to the internet. This is where we process your budget code. This server does not have any outside modems or links to the outside world. All information on this server is protected with multiple layers of software security.

If you have any technical questions or concerns, please email us in the suggestions area. We will be happy to respond.
