We always strive to make the Return and Exchange process as easy and hassle-free for you as possible. The process is very simple, please be sure to read our return and exchange policy below for detailed information. If you have any questions regarding our return policy please contact our customer service department.
 
Return Conditions

Items must be returned within 30 days of delivery in NEW (unused, untested, and resalable) condition, in the original manufacturer packaging, with all accessories, kit components, promotional items and instruction manuals included. For your protection, items must be returned shipping prepaid, insured for the full value and safely wrapped to prevent shipping damage.

Items that have been used by the customer or items that have been damaged by use cannot be returned to us. We also cannot accept returns on orders where a promotional item has not been returned with the order. For example, if you bought an item that came with free back up pad or sanding belts. These extras must be included with your return to qualify for a refund.

When repacking an item for return, please be sure to include all the free and promotional items that came with your order as well as all applicable accessories and literature. Generally, as a rule-of-thumb you should return the items to us the same way we sent them to you - in the same condition and with all the original contents.
 
If any of the original packaging, accessories, kit components, promotional items or instruction manuals are missing, damaged, used or are not sellable as new condition, we reserve the right to refuse the return.

Restocking Fees

There is a 10% restocking fee for returns of unopened, unused, and untested items returned within 30 days. Again, if any of the original packaging, accessories, kit components, promotional items or instruction manuals are missing, damaged, used or are not sellable as new condition, we reserve the right to refuse the return.

Under the same return condition rules, the restocking fee may be waived if you place a replacement order of equal or greater value at our online store, not necessarily for the same item. The full refund will be issued shortly after the new order has been placed.

Exchanges

If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, we will be happy to facilitate an exchange for you. Please return the item to us within 45 days of purchase and you will not be charged restocking fees, provided the item is in NEW (unopened, unused, untested and resalable) condition and it does not fall into our return exceptions policy.
If an item is defective, it can be returned for an exchange within 30 days of purchase, outside the 30 days the manufacturer must be contacted directly for a replacement.
