Return Shipping Costs

Who Pays for Return Shipping?

Return shipping costs depend on the reason for the return:

Customer Responsibility:

• Change of Mind: If you simply changed your mind or ordered the wrong item, you're responsible for return shipping costs

• Buyer's Remorse: Returns due to personal preference are at customer's expense

• Incorrect Order Placed: If you ordered the wrong product by mistake, return shipping is your responsibility

We Cover Shipping When:

• Defective Product: If the item arrived defective or damaged

• Wrong Item Sent: If we shipped the incorrect product

• Manufacturing Defect: If there's a defect covered under warranty

• Our Error: Any mistake on our part

For large equipment, return freight shipping can be expensive. We recommend thoroughly reviewing product specifications and contacting us with questions before ordering to avoid unnecessary returns.

Exchanges

If you received the wrong item or need a different size or model, we're happy to arrange an exchange.

Exchange Process:

1. Contact our team within 30 days of delivery

Exchange Shipping:
