Shipping Policy

Backed by the largest enthusiast network in North America.

MOTORMIA has grown into the largest community of car, truck, bike, and UTV enthusiasts in North America. Behind that community is a partner ecosystem — suppliers, distributors, and manufacturers — that’s one of the largest in the world, moving parts from 5,000+ trusted brands into our store. When you buy from MOTORMIA, you’re tapping into that whole network in one order.

The aftermarket parts industry has a transparency problem. Buyers can’t tell where their parts actually come from, when they’ll actually arrive, or what happens when something breaks in the chain. That’s the problem we’re here to solve. Every order you place is handled with close consideration and personal follow-through — from verifying fit against your build, to locking in the right supplier, to reaching out personally when something changes.

You’re not a ticket number here. You’re building something, and we want to help you finish it. Below is exactly how fulfillment works, no marketing gloss.

Our transparency promise

Aftermarket parts is an opaque industry. We’re building the opposite:

  • Real ship timelines. No fake “next-day” claims. 1–3 business day processing plus real ship-time ranges by source — spelled out in full below.
  • A human on the other end. A real person answers the phone at (760) 282-4645. On backorders and supplier issues, we call you before any decision gets made about your order.
  • Best price, guaranteed. Find any part cheaper at a US authorized dealer within 30 days and we refund the difference. See our price-match policy.
  • Every policy in the open. Returns, shipping, privacy, data retention — all linked from every page. No dark patterns. No fine print buried at checkout.
  • Data that stays yours. We collect what’s needed to ship your order and help you build — nothing more. Full policy linked in the footer.
  • We show what we know, and admit what we don’t. Product images and descriptions come from our supplier partners — sometimes incomplete, occasionally off. When you’re unsure a part fits your build, log it in the MOTORMIA app so Mia can verify against your exact setup, or call (760) 282-4645 and a real person will confirm before you order.

How orders move

Every MOTORMIA order is placed through our platform, but the parts themselves come from two kinds of sources across our partner ecosystem:

  • Partner store — the regional retail location that carries this part. Usually 1–3 business days after processing if the item is in stock.
  • Direct from manufacturer — the brand ships it themselves. 1–3 business days if the item is in stock. If it’s a special order, the manufacturer builds this part to your spec after you buy — that usually takes 4–6 weeks depending on the part and the queue, and we’ll work to get it to you as soon as possible.

Order processing

After you place an order we process it in 1–3 business days: verify fitment against your build, confirm supplier availability, and lock in the shipment. Processing time isn’t ship time — a special-order part may still take weeks to arrive once it goes into build.

“In Stock” vs “Special Order”

On our product pages, the badge is the promise:

  • In Stock — the part is available at a supplier and ships promptly. After the 1–3 business day processing window, it moves.
  • Special Order — the part isn’t currently stocked at any supplier, or it’s a made-to-order build. Expect 4–6 weeks. We’ll work to get it to you as soon as possible.

If you need a part urgently, call us at (760) 282-4645 before you order and we’ll tell you exactly where it ships from and how fast.

Backorders

Sometimes a supplier runs out between when you ordered and when we go to ship. If that happens to your order we’ll reach out personally — no auto-cancellation, no ghosting. Together we’ll either wait it out, swap to an equivalent part, or refund at your discretion. In many cases we can offer a discounted alternative to keep the build on track.

Free shipping

Free shipping over $200 in the continental US. Alaska, Hawaii, and international surcharges apply and appear at checkout.

We’re committed to making you a happy customer, and we’re here to change this industry. Questions about a specific order or timeline? Call (760) 282-4645 or email hello@motormia.co — a real person picks up.
