Automotive Core Requirements

When filling out your PAC-Cores invoice, it is mandatory to follow these requirements:

We will not accept any corroded and or re-manufactured Cores

Listed below are the requirements for all orders placed with PAC

1. All prices are guaranteed for 30 days from the original bid date.

2. You can pick and choose the parts you would like to sell using the core lists provided through our online programs. At the time of shipping we will require a list of the items you are choosing to sell.

3. Any part that is received and is not the correct Hollander will be paid according to our current buy list and will not be returned to you.

4. Items that do not meet the specified parts requirements will be paid current scrap value. All OEM specific Hollanders must match the "Buyers Notes" listed to the right of the Hollander on your core list. You will not receive the full bid value for any other OEM.

5. If you have more than 10 of the same Hollander please contact us before boxing them.

6. All core orders must be packed in a full gaylord box in such a way as to not damage the cores during transit. If your box is not full please contact us prior to shipping for approval.

7. We will pay the freight on domestic US orders at a minimum invoice value of $1,200.00*. Orders that arrive missing invoiced pieces, or with scrap, causing it to fall below the minimum order requirement are subject to a freight charge for the missing order value. *Canadian shipping must be arranged and paid for by the yard.

8. At the time of shipping, we offer a 50% deposit. Final payment is made when the order has been processed which is generally between 45 and 60 days after it arrives at our facility. Any deductions will be applied to the final payment total.

ATTENTION: We reserve the right to apply a freight deduction to your order if we receive parts which are identified as scrap or miscellaneous items we did not advertise on our programs. This percentage of our freight cost is calculated based upon the weight of the unwanted scrap items and this will be deducted from your final payment.
