Q: Why is your company named Buy Insulation Products?
A: In the early days of the internet (or world wide web as it was called in caveman times), there were a lot of websites that discussed insulation but didn't actually sell the products in an online store format. We aren't claiming to be the first online insulation store, but we wanted to differentiate our store from other websites that didn't actually sell insulation. Our name says it all, if you want to "Buy" insulation products, you came to the right place.
Q: What locations do you ship to?
A: Our site is currently setup to only ship within the United States (excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico). However, if you are located in Hawaii, Alaska, or Puerto Rico, please feel free to place your order over the phone. The reason for this is inaccurate shipping costs from the online shipping calculator.
Q: Where are you located?
A: We utilize the warehouses of our affiliates so we have many locations throughout the United States. By having numerous shipping warehouses throughout the country, we are able to get the material to you quickly. Our customer service department is located in New Jersey.

Q: My Shipping Estimate was very high, is this right?
A: A lot of our products are very large and not very convenient to ship UPS. Other items just have unusual dimensions that make it hard for the site to calculate the correct package size.

Q: Why are asbestos removal / encapsulating products not eligible for returns or exchanges?
A: We must ensure that the products we ship out are 100% asbestos free and have had no exposure to asbestos fibers for the safety of our employees, customers, and UPS/FedEx drivers. There is a chance that asbestos removal / encapsulating products may have been stored in an area where asbestos was being disturbed. For moral and legal purposes, our warehouses will not accept returned materials. Please feel confident in purchasing these items from our store as there is no chance of a hazard.
Q: I don't have a Promotion Code, am I missing out on anything?
A: Once in a while we give out promotion codes to be used during our sales events. Check back often to see our specials and promotions for that week/month. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook to receive all of the updates on sales and coupon codes.
Q: My credit card keeps coming back declined, what is going on?
A: Our processor verifies the Bill to Address, Expiration Date, Security Code (CVV), along with other information to make sure that the card matches all verification items. Please go back into your checkout and verify that the Bill to Address and other items are entered correctly.
Q: Order Today...Insulate Tomorrow - Will I receive my order "tomorrow"?
A: Although we do try to ship orders the very same business day we receive them, UPS/FedEx transit times vary between 1-5 business days. The term: "Insulate Tomorrow" implies that we have most items in stock and ship out very fast. "Insulate Tomorrow" just sounds better than "Insulate in 1 to 5 business days" or "Insulate in the Very Near Future". We don't intend to mislead anyone to think that you will receive your order the next day guaranteed (although some customers do). If you need your order delivered tomorrow please call us and we can provide a quote for Next Day Air transit costs.
