REFUSED.
All returns, regardless of how they were shipped or where they were
shipped from must be referenced by
an RGA Number (Returned Goods Authorization Number) as stated in
this Return Policy.
|
Please open all boxes
immediately and check contents. We must have been
notified
of any damage (or other problems) and have been provided
with any additional information within 2 business days of
you receiving your products. This is necessary in order to
determine the next course of action in regards to how the
damaged/defective/incorrect item(s) will be taken care of.
In order to serve you better, we request that you inspect
all of your products for obvious defects/blemishes within 2
days of receiving them. |
|
It is very rare that you will receive an incorrect
product; we double-check all orders before we
ship them. However, if we made a mistake/error in shipping, please, first,
notify
us within 2 days of receiving your order. We will then issue
an RGA number and return instructions on how and where to
return the product. Please do not ship anything back without
an RGA and those instructions. It is our wish to take care
of you as soon as possible and get you your product. We must
first send you the replacement instructions and have these
agreed to before sending out the replacement(s). We will pay
shipping both ways as it would have been our fault and we
wish very much to correct any mistakes.
We truly do care and want nothing more than to get your
order in your hands.
If you ordered the incorrect product (your mistake), then
please see
"ordered wrong" below. |
|
Once you have determined that the products shipped to you
were received damaged, you need to notify us and
the carrier (UPS)
within 2 days. If the packaging appears damaged on
the outside, please refuse to accept it from the carrier;
or please make sure when signing the shipper's
proof-of-delivery slip, you include a note stating the
package is or appears to be damaged. If you do accept a
damaged shipment, please
inform us
and the carrier (UPS) immediately
within those 2 days. Depending on the product and where/how
it was shipped, it may be necessary for you to deal with the
carrier. Most trucking companies will only deal with the
receiver in cases of damaged goods.
Please DO NOT ship the product back to us without
contacting us first and receiving an
RGA
number and all the important instructions.
Also, if there was any internal (non-visible) damage,
this will need to be reported to us and the carrier within
two days of receiving the product.
Once you have informed us (and the carrier) with this
information we will send you complete instructions on how we
will be taking care of the damaged goods. We wish to take
care of you and get your damaged product replaced as soon as
possible. Please do let us know if you have not received the
instructions within 1-2 business days.
|
|
Within thirty (30) days of receiving your order, if
any product proves to be defective; please
contact
us immediately. Please DO NOT return the product back
without contacting us first and receiving an
RGA
number and the necessary return instructions.
You will need to pay for the cost of sending the product to
us.
After receiving the defective merchandise, we will test
it if need be, and we will ship back to you (at our expense)
a non-defective replacement product.
If the product is defective, you will receive a
replacement. If you choose to return the defective item,
rather than replace it, we will charge a minimum of 25%
restocking fee and your original shipping fee will not
be refunded. Also, items returned after 30 days are subject
to a higher restocking fee or may not be returnable at all
(we will let you know if this applies to your return). The
return of the product is at your expense. We believe that
this is a fair policy because lower overhead results in
lower prices for all of our customers.
If after 30 days of receiving your product, it proves to
be defective, we would like for you to deal with the
manufacturer. Whatever policy the manufacturer has will
determine how you will proceed, and may include shipping
costs. We will not pay shipping costs on items that are
being handled directly by the manufacturer. We supply
products; we do not warranty products and after thirty days
we leave it up to the manufacturers. There may be instances
when the manufacturer, once they have been contacted, will
ask that we help in the replacement process.
If this is the case, we will assist you and the manufacturer
with the return process. However, 30 days after receiving
your product, it will be necessary for you to contact the
manufacturer first. |

HOLD ONTO THE ORIGINAL BOXES AND PACKAGING.
We will only accept a return if a Return Goods
Authorization number (RGA) has been issued, the product is
returned in the original manufacturer's packaging, and it
has been less than 30 days since the order was received.
Listed products (items that have listed prices on our web
pages) may be returned within 30 days of receiving them; the
products must be brand new (never used) and in perfect
condition with all manufacturer's packaging. In order to
keep our prices at their lowest, we charge a minimum 25%
restocking fee (which can be lowered with a comparable
reorder) and your original shipping charge will not be
refunded. Items returned after 30 days or without an RGA #,
should it be decided that they will be accepted, are subject
to a higher
restocking fee. Returns without an RGA can also possibly
delay processing of your credit. Items that originally
shipped as "Free Shipping" will have the shipping cost
deducted from any eligible refund.
We do not accept returns for used or assembled products.
We do not sell used products and you will not receive any used or
refurbished merchandise from us.
Please contact us if you wish to return any products. Items
must be brand new (never used), in perfect condition, with
all manufacturer's packaging. We will issue you an
RGA
number and return instructions on how and where to ship
the products.
Non-listed and quoted items (items that do not have
prices listed on our web pages and/or items that you
received a special quote on) are considered special order
items and may not be returned.
Items that ship by freight may not be returned. For example,
items such as toilet systems may not be returned. If they are
defective, you will either receive a replacement or it will
be repaired, but we do not accept returns for items that
ship by freight.
Please keep in mind, items returned after 30 days are
subject to a higher
restocking fee or may not be returnable at all.
If you need to return a product that was originally
shipped for free, our
restocking fee will apply, plus you
will need to pay the cost of shipping the order back.
|
|
Items that are heavy or large (items that ship by freight)
may NOT be returned. Items such as
toilet systems
may not be returned. If they are defective, you will either
receive a replacement or it will be repaired; but we do not
accept returns on items that ship by freight.
Items that were received by the customer more than 30
days ago.
Also, items that are "special ordered/quoted" cannot be
canceled or returned.
Items stated as non-returnable on the page from which
they are ordered may not be returned.
"Match-Your-Color toilet seat replacement kits are
non-returnable.
Items that you have installed cannot be returned.
Items that have sanitary issues such as toilet/bidet
seats cannot be returned -unless they have not been
removed from the packaging.
Items that are not brand new and/or missing any of the
manufacturer's packaging cannot be returned.
Items that have been specially manufactured for your
order may not be returned.
Items that have been cut-to-order may not be returned.
Also, items that have a shelf-life may not be returned.

If you made an error and ordered the
wrong products (from the items that have listed prices on
our web pages; not special quoted products), and wish to
return the product; please use our
online return process to request an
RGA
number and return instructions.
Returns MUST have an RGA in order to be processed
correctly, so please wait for us to send you that
information.
Please do NOT return any product that you have ordered
without prior
contact and acknowledgement.
Our products ship from many different warehouses and often
need to be returned to the same warehouse. These warehouses
will refuse deliveries that are not properly marked and
documented with issued RGA
numbers. This will make processing your credit very
difficult and may delay or void your credit.
Returns of incorrectly ordered products are subject to a
restocking fee.
Your reorder must be placed prior to your credit being
processed. If you need to apply your credit to your
reorder, you can do so; but we will need to receive the
product and/or credit for the product before doing so.
If you wish to return a product but do not place a
reorder, the
restocking fee will be a minimum of
25% - if returned within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
product. If you return an original product, reorder a
replacement and then return the replacement product, you
will be assessed a minimum of 30% restocking fee for the return of the reorder.
For additional information on our return and crediting
procedures, please review our
general "Returns" section above.

When it is necessary to return
a product, please use our online
RGA
request form prior to doing so. All returns, regardless
of how they were shipped or where they were shipped from
must be referenced by an RGA Number (Returned Goods
Authorization Number). Do not refuse your shipment,
as you will be responsible for any additional shipping
charges incurred for the refusal.
Items returned without an RGA number may be set aside
until we hear from the customer OR even refused delivery
entirely. We process thousands of orders weekly, and
subsequently receive a sizable number of returns. If not
referenced by an RGA Number, a returned package will need to
be researched so that the customer can be contacted
regarding the return. This results in higher overhead,
higher prices, and delays the processing of credit. This
system is necessary to ensure that you receive proper credit
in a timely fashion.
When you contact us via
this
online form requesting an RGA to return a product, we
will either issue the RGA at that time, or contact the
warehouse that it shipped from and request that one be
issued. If we need to receive the RGA from another
warehouse, we will let you know by forwarding the
information to you along with shipping instructions as soon
as we receive it from them. The instructions for return must
be followed carefully.
Once the product has been received at our warehouse, it
will be inspected and you will be credited for the returned
product less the applicable
restocking fee and original shipping charges.
If the product is returning to another warehouse, they
will contact us once they have received the product,
inspected it, and approved credit to be
issued. Once it has been approved your credit will be issued
less the restocking fee and original shipping charges.
All returns are subject to a minimum 25% restocking fee. If a reorder is
placed for a similar product, the restocking fee can be lowered. Please note that if for some reason the reorder must be
returned, the restocking fee for the reorder will be a
minimum of 30%
|
|
All returns are subject to a
restocking fee. We have a standard restocking fee of 25% on
returns within 30 days. If you wish to return a product but
do not place a reorder, the normal restocking fee will be
a minimum of 25% (for items returned within 30 days) but can change if
any of the following information applies. If a reorder is
placed for a similar product (costing nearly the same
amount), the restocking fee can be lowered.
Our standard restocking fee on orders received over 30
days ago can be as low as 25%; however, it may be higher, or
your return may be refused if
an extensive amount of time has passed since delivery.
Please note that if for some reason the reorder must be
returned, the restocking fee for the return of the reorder
will be at least 30%. Also, items returned after 30 days are
subject to a higher restocking fee or may not be returnable
at all. We will let you know our decision when we respond to
your request.
Your reorder must be placed prior to your credit being
processed. If you wish to reorder right away, reference will
be made to your return on your reorder to ensure that you
receive the lower restocking fee. If you need to apply your
credit to your reorder, you can do so, but we will need to
receive the product and/or credit for the product before
doing so.
If you return a product, reorder, and then return the
reordered product, you will be assessed a restocking fee of
at least 30% for the return of the reorder.
In the past we have shipped products over and over again
until our customers found something they liked. We do not
ship "trial" products; we choose not to operate this way.
There is substantial cost in
processing orders and shipping products. There is also cost
in returning products; messages must be answered,
RGA's issued, products received and restocked, paperwork
processed and mailed, etc. For this reason, we adhere
strictly to our Return Policy to keep those rare customers
from "trying" and "trying" products.
For additional information on our return and crediting
procedures, please review our
general "Returns" section above.
