Hours: 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. EST, Monday-Friday - Keep all the packaging! Damaged or not, the packaging needs to be retained for inspection by the carrier company. Failure to keep damaged boxes and the original packing materials may result in denial of damage claims. It may all look like garbage, but it’s valuable garbage!
Decide what to do next
The second thought you’ll probably have is that you still need/want the part that was damaged during shipping - or that you just want to be refunded.No problem. We can help you with both options.
Exchanging the damaged part for a new, undamaged part
Let’s start with how you can get a new, undamaged part:
- First, follow the above steps for returning your order.
- Communicate with your Customer Service Representative that you would like a new part to be shipped to you.
- Understand that we first need to receive the original, damaged part back at our warehouse before we can ship out a new, undamaged replacement part. If time is a factor, another option is for you to immediately purchase a replacement with the knowledge that we'll issue you a credit for the damaged part as soon as we receive it.
Getting a refund
- After you return the damaged item and we receive it back you should receive your credit within about 15 days.
- Credit will be applied to the same credit card or account used to purchase the part. (In some cases, a company check will be offered for a refund.)
- You will receive a “Credit Approval” email once your account has been credited. Please note that delays in processing may occur due to your bank or credit card company.
- If you haven’t received your refund within 20 days, please call one of our customer service specialists at 1-800-598-1484 for assistance.
