STIHL Internet Sales Policy

In accordance with the STIHL no-mail order policy, STIHL does not permit delivery of its products via mail or shipment. Delivery of any STIHL product to a customer must be made in person by a trained dealer employee.
STIHL PowerChord™ sites have STIHL Express, whereby a customer can reserve products for pick up in store. The financial transaction is conducted at the dealership when the products are picked up.
