Our goal is to keep the ordering process as simple as possible. We offer free shipping on all orders over $99. Shipping times vary from 1-3 business days and delivery time varies between 3-7 business days.

Please read through this instructional guide so you can understand how the process works and what you should expect to happen once you place your order with us.

Order Confirmation:

• You will receive an order confirmation email as soon as you place your order.  This means that we have authorized your credit card for the purchase and are preparing your order for shipment.  
• As soon as we receive your order, we automatically reach out to our warehouse to confirm that it is in stock and available for immediate shipment.  
• If your item is on backorder or unavailable, we will reach out to you via email.
• If your item(s) are available for immediate shipment, we will process the charges and submit the order for shipment.

Order Shipment:

• If your order is stock and your credit card is approved by our fraud guarantee department, the metal detector ordered will ship within 1-2 business days from the date of your order.  
• We will send you the tracking information within 24 hours to the email address you provided when checking out.  
• We ship daily via UPS Ground, Fed Ex Ground, and Freight to the lower 48 states. Most all orders will ship the same day as ordered if the order is submitted before 1pm PST (some exceptions apply, some part & freight orders may not ship until the following day).  
• Some parts orders and freight shipments are subject to ship the following business day if the order is placed close to the 1pm cut off time.
• Shipping costs are included with any unit going ground to the lower 48 states. AK & HI ship by AIR at additional cost. 
• We do not offer Cash On Delivery.  
• A phone number is required by the freight company so a delivery appointment can be made.  
• Failure to provide this at the time of order may cause a delay in delivery as freight items will not be delivered without an appointment.   
• A delay in delivery may also cause additional storage fees to accrue that will need paid prior to delivery.

• Customs, Duties, and Taxes: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to customs brokerage fees, import duties, and taxes after the shipment reaches the destination country. Additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient because we have no control over these government-imposed charges and cannot determine what they may be. Customs policies vary greatly among countries. Therefore, we cannot, and will not, offer advice about taxes in your country. We report the amount of the sale on the Customs form. Please do not ask us to claim less than the actual purchase amount. It is the customers responsibility to know the legality of the metal detectors ordered in their country. Do not order items that are illegal to import into your country. Laws are different in every country and we cannot keep up with them all. It is your responsibility to check with your Customs office to see if your country permits the shipment of our metal detectors to your country.
• As the buyer, it is your responsibility to find out that information before you order. Please contact your local customs office for information.
• To avoid a delay in receiving your order from customs, consider the following:
• Provide us with a phone number where you can be reached by customs when your metal detector arrives. This phone number will be listed on the commercial invoice so customs can reach you to clear your order.
• Please do not refuse a shipment or ignore requests from carriers regarding duty and/or tax liability charges. Be aware that most carriers will hold a shipment for 5 days after arrival in your country before they return it to the sender.
• We do not refund original shipping charges for goods that are refused for delivery at customs.
• We will deduct all additional fees resulting from refused international shipments from your refund.
• If we are charged for YOUR taxes and duties on the shipment or incur any penalty or lawsuit related to your order or shipment, we will post the charge to your credit card.
• If the package is seized by Customs for any reason and we do not receive the package back, we will NOT issue you a refund since, obviously, local laws and regulations determine the fate of the package. If we do receive the package back after being seized, you are still responsible for the shipping charges and any other fees plus penalties incurred.

• We ship via UPS and Fedex for most products, USPS for small parts and accessories, and freight for large products.
• If you don't receive tracking information from us within six business days of your order confirmation, feel free to follow up with us at support@modernmetaldetectors.com

Damages:

• Please inspect the packaging of your items when they arrive.
• If there are any metal detectors damaged upon arrival, you can file a warranty claim to get replacement parts for anything that's damaged.  
• If your item(s) do arrive damaged, please send photos to support@modernmetaldetectors.com and we will process an insurance claim on your behalf.

Cancellations & Refunds:

• All orders canceled after 24 hours are subject to an administration fee equal to $40. If you order an OKM product and cancel after 24 hours there is a 15% admin fee if it has not shipped and a 25% restocking fee if it has shipped. This is a fee that covers administrative and shipment fees. 
• If your item is on backorder and you accept the backorder, we will hold your payment until the metal detector ships. If you decide to cancel before a backorder arrives and is processed for shipping, we will not charge a fee. 
• If you order has shipped, you (the buyer) will be responsible for actual return shipping charges. Refunds will only be issued to the original credit card that you use when placing your order.

Backorders:

• From time to time, a product may run out of stock at our warehouse and the website wasn't updated when you placed your order. In that case, we will send you an email right after you place your order notifying you of the backorder, what the expected time for arrival is, and what substitutes are available in case you are interested in getting a metal detector sooner.
• The expected arrival time may change due to unforeseen circumstances like a shipment getting held up at the port upon arrival or the factory missing a certain part needed to complete the manufacturing process.
• If the arrival time changes on your order, you can let us know whether you would like to keep the order, substitute for a different product, or cancel the order altogether. 
• Once back orders arrive, we will notify you by email with your estimated ship date and you will receive an email with tracking information within 1-3 business days.

MEET THE FOUNDER 

The owner, Daniel Wall, started ModernMetalDetectors.com to help those who want to find and feel real relics between their hands that hold so much history. 

In 2010, Daniel was introduced to metal detectors when his grandpa asked him if he would like to join him on one of his detecting trips in North Wales, United Kingdom, which is the country where he grew up. On this particular trip a bronze Roman Empire coin was discovered a few inches deep in the earth next to a woodland brook. It was from this moment where the love of the treasuring hunting began!

Read the whole story of how Daniels grandpa had a huge impact on Daniels life.

Up until this point, Daniel had no idea of the joy that metal detecting could bring into his life and even where to find his own metal detector. He did some searching online but couldn't find an online store that was easy to shop or had a wide-selection and educational articles to help him learn about metal detecting and how to detect effectively. He decided to start a brand new website called ModernMetalDetectors.com, the one you're on right now, to help those who want to shop, browse, and learn all in one place. 

Today, we stay true to our roots and are online-only. We plan to stay that way in order to offer our customers the lowest possible factory-direct prices, fastest shipping times, and world-class customer service by phone, email, and live chat. Operating online-only means we can offer all this without sacrificing any of the things that made us excited to start this business in the first place like being able to travel and help people all over the world.
