Shipping & Returns

The manufacturer’s warranty policy takes precedent over the issuing of credit. Many manufacturers require all warranty issues to be handled directly through them. In some cases, the end-user is the party that must contact the manufacturer. Documentation must be made in accordance to the manufacturer’s warranty policy. Manufacturer return authorizations must accompany all returning merchandise. We will not issue in-house RGA for product pick up until verification of return authorization from manufacturer has been made. No credit of any kind will be applied to customer account without manufacturer approval. We will not reimburse labor, shipping preparation, or shipping expenses unless authorized by the manufacturer. For a list of manufacturers that require direct warranty processing please contact one of our Call Center Sales and Customer Service Specialist or assigned Outside Sales Representative. Merchandise that the manufacturer determines not to warranty will be returned to customer at their expense.

Missing Hardware

In many cases the manufacturers will be the direct contact for acquiring missing hardware. The missing hardware will be shipped according to the manufacturer’s missing hardware policy.

Defective Merchandise

The manufacturer has final say in determining if product is defective. Those determinations are made in accordance with manufacturers’ warranty policy. That policy can include inspection by manufacturer representative. We will not reimburse labor, shipping preparation, or shipping expenses unless authorized by the manufacturer. We will not provide in-house RGA for defective merchandise until verification of return authorization from the manufacture.

Appropriate care and repacking of approved defective parts is required for full credit. Any product not returned complete or missing parts will be subject to partial credit or refusal of warranty claim.

It is the customer’s responsibility to request a Returns Goods Authorization (RGA) from us. All returns must be made within 30 days of purchase and will be subject to a restocking fee. Customers can request RGA by contacting any of our call center sales and customer service specialists at 1-800-365-8610.
