The fastest and cheapest way to send a wire harness is with the Post Office. If you live outside of the USA, you will more than likely have to fill out a customs declaration form, this process is quite simple! An important note: you are not selling us these parts, rather you are sending them for repair and to be returned! So when filling out the form simply write: Automotive wire harness sent for repair, no commercial value. In the value field, put one dollar. In the insurance field, insure it for whatever amount you feel comfortable with.

To help us plan our time around the arrival of your harness please forward the tracking information to our email. BE SURE TO INCLUDE THIS FORM <<<<< Your order will be delayed significantly if it is not included with your harness or ecu..

If you insist on sending with a courier such as UPS / Fed­Ex you will be 100% responsible for all fees incurred.

Before starting the harness we will email you to ensure both parties are on the same page. If there are any missing parts or concerns that we may have with the harness, this will be discussed before any work commences. The harness will be sent back and labeled as a “repaired automotive wire harness.” Again, if you have any questions or concerns, please let us know! If you need OEM style tape for wrapping your harness you can find it HERE !

S&P Automotive assumes no responsibility for how you install or use the products purchased from us. Please check with your local laws for compliance. If you have installation questions you can always email us and/or hire a qualified technician.
