Cancellations

Your order can be cancelled before your order ships. Orders that have shipped cannot be canceled. An RMA request must be submitted once the order arrives via the shipper. Please see the RMA instructions at the top of this page for details.

How To Ship Your Return

Please make sure all packing materials are used to avoid breakage when shipping your items, and the boxes are completely sealed.

Large boxes (48" cases) ship via FedEx or UPS only. Small boxes (30" and smaller) can ship via FedEx, UPS or USPS. We recommend checking the rate with USPS, as they can often be the least expensive. We do not provide return shipping labels.

Credit Card Payment Declined

If a credit card payment is declined when an order is processed by our staff, we will send an email notification to the purchaser. We use email for this communication so that we have a record of our attempt to contact the purchaser regarding the declined payment. We will re-attempt to process the payment if we do not obtain a response email within 24 hours. If we are still unable to process the payment, and we have not obtained an email response within a reasonable time period, the order will be cancelled. A cancellation notification will be sent via email.

Shipments Refused On Delivery

All returns require a Return Authorization Number (see first paragraph of this page). If you refuse delivery of a shipment (for any reason) and the order is returned to us by FedEx or the freight carrier, the shipment will be rejected at our warehouse and a refund will not be issued. You are responsible for any shipping charges. Again, all returns require an RMA request and approval
.

Wrong items received must be reported within 48 hours of receipt, otherwise we will assume that you are keeping the items. To ship a replacement for the wrongly shipped items, or process a refund, we must be able to retrieve the wrong items for shipment back to our warehouse (at our expense).
