What is ECS’s cancellation policy?
In the event that a scheduled service visit needs to be cancelled or rescheduled, all requests must be made by contacting the Service Manager, Robert Cornette, at 704-625-8812 ext. 202. It is the responsibility of the site receiving service to ensure ECS has received the cancellation or rescheduling request.
All service visits are considered final when a PO is issued.
All cancellations and reschedules will be assessed a fee based on time and cost as necessary.
Rescheduling on Behalf of ECS:
In the event that ECS needs to reschedule a service visit, the service manager will reach out to the primary point of contact to communicate what has happened, and what will need to happen to fulfill the agreement.

Should I call my contact or the ECS Support Line first?
You should call the support line first, as technical issues are entered in as a ticket and tracked through our system. Your local service technician may be in a mill, and not able to respond timely.
Also, the ECS Support Line are the only ones who can remote into a system.
You can contact the ECS Support Line at: 704-519-5053
How fast will my parts arrive?
If the parts are in stock, and no set-up time is required, many times the order will be shipped out same-day, if the order is received by 10am EST.
ECS offers an expediting fee, if your order supersedes the standard production/delivery schedule.
Standard shipping is UPS Ground.
If two-day or overnight shipping is required, ensure that this is noted within your quote request.
Call ECS to confirm lead time.
What if I need parts over the weekend/after business hours?
Orders & Quote Requests received after business hours/over the weekend/on holidays will be processed the next business day.
