What Affects Timeline?

Several factors can impact how quickly you receive your replacement parts:

1. Information Completeness

Orders with complete information process faster:

  • Fast processing: All required info provided in first email
  • Slower processing: Missing serial number, photos, or purchase proof requires follow-up

Required Information:

  • Equipment model and serial number
  • Part needed (name and/or part number)
  • Purchase date and proof of purchase (for warranty)
  • Photos of damaged part (if applicable)
  • Shipping address and phone number

2. Warranty vs. Paid Orders

  • Warranty orders: Faster (no invoice or payment step)
  • Paid orders: Add 2-5 days for invoice creation and payment processing

3. Part Availability

  • In-stock parts: 1-2 weeks processing
  • Back-ordered parts: Extended lead time (see Back Orders section below)

4. Shipping Location

  • Domestic US: 5-7 days shipping
  • Canada: 7-10 days shipping
  • International (outside North America): Contact support for timeline

5. Order Timing

  • Weekday orders: Typically process faster
  • Weekend/holiday orders: Begin processing next business day
  • Peak seasons: May experience slightly longer processing times

Back Orders and Extended Lead Times

Some parts may be temporarily out of stock, extending the timeline.

Back Order Process

  1. Notification: You'll be notified if your part is on back order
  2. Waiting list: You're placed on a back order list
  3. SO# assigned and held: Your order is created but held until parts arrive
  4. Invoice when available: Invoice sent (or shipment initiated) when parts arrive in stock

Example Back Order Timeline

Based on actual customer tickets:

  • Part: FT1 Cables
  • Back order notice: October 2025
  • Expected availability: "Mid November"
  • Extended timeline: 4-6 weeks total instead of 2-3 weeks

Customer communication example:
"Unfortunately, the FT1 Cables are on back order and won't come in until mid November. We can place your order now and ship when they arrive."

Parts Subject to Back Orders

  • FT1 Cables (noted in recent tickets)
  • Specialty cables for older equipment models
  • Console parts for treadmills
  • Parts for discontinued models

Expedited Shipping Options

If you need parts urgently:

  • Contact support at [email protected]

  • Ask if expedited options are available
  • Additional costs may apply for expedited shipping

Note: Processing time (1-2 weeks) cannot be expedited, regardless of shipping method selected.

  5. Order before you urgently need the part: Plan ahead if you notice wear or damage developing

Common Questions About Timeline

Why does processing take 1-2 weeks?
Parts are pulled from inventory, quality-checked, and packaged. CENTR processes orders as quickly as possible while ensuring accuracy and quality.

Can I pick up parts in person to save time?
Local pickup is not mentioned as an available option. Contact support to inquire if your location is near the fulfillment center.

Will I be notified at each stage?
You'll receive notifications for: order confirmation (SO# assigned), invoice (if paid order), and shipping (tracking number). Processing stages are not individually notified.

What if I need the part urgently for a business/gym?
Contact support and explain your business need. They may be able to prioritize your order or suggest alternatives.
