    2. Orders must be placed online at www.desotosport.com.
    3. When you select FREE SHIPPING, we reserve the right to select the carrier and class of our choice.  It may take 10-14 business days from the date of your order for us to ship it depending on the month of the year you order, with triathlon season and holidays get more busy.  Any orders placed after 11:00 am PST depart no sooner than the next business day, but other factors that may affect processing time is the day you order, as are closed on weekends, and national holidays.  The final factor that may case delay is if you ordered during a special sale offer.  
    4. You must select the free shipping option in the shipping drop-down box.
    5. Free shipping is valid only for items we have in stock and for total net orders. For this reason, there is no free shipping on back orders.

Most customers doing Ironman races, national championships, or a very important race end up spending thousands dollars training, traveling, dining, paying the expensive entry fees, and buying new equipment. For such an important race they want to be certain they get their product in time, so they typically choose for some form of premium expedited shipping.

For orders where a premium shipping is paid by you, we will usually process your order within 24 hours (excluding Saturdays and Sundays) from the day we receive it, and we will ship your order the same day if we get the order before 11:00 am Pacific Time, and you select a paid expedited shipping method. However, during extremely busy periods, such as holidays, summer, and periods approaching major races around the world, it may take a number of days before it is processed. We are a small company, we produce almost everything under one roof, and we do all our own fulfillment.  Please login to our website with your username and password to check the progress of your orders and to view your tracking numbers.

    A Warning About Certain Lubricants and their Affect on Fabrics:

    Many athletic lubricants, especially non-liquid types, (like Body Glide, vaseline, and chamois creams) work well for wetsuits, but not well for clothing.  They tend to make clothing, especially loose clothing, sticky, instead of slick and slippery, and usually results in chafing. It will also damage, stain and discolor all fabrics over time. We advise against using them, and their use will nullify our warranty.
