Shipping and Returns Home Shipping & Returns At Gear Club Direct, we want you to be happy with your purchase. We understand that there are times when once a product is received, it may not be what you needed or wanted after all. So, we will gladly accept your qualifying return within 15 days of the delivery date. After 15 days of the delivery date, all sales are final. The Return Process Customers are required to obtain a Pre-Authorization to return any product. To submit a request for a return, simply log in to your account and request a return and one of our sales representatives will contact you within 24-48 business hours. If you do not have an account with us, please open a help ticket , providing as much detail as possible and whether you are requesting a refund or an exchange. Please note : Any items returned without a pre- authorized will not be accepted. Items returned to Gear Club Direct that have not been authorized, or that fall outside of the terms of our return policy, can be returned to the customer at the customer's expense if requested , otherwise, they will be forfeited and discarded after 30 days . All returned merchandise should be shipped pre-paid and insured. Gear Club Direct does not reimburse shipping and handling charges incurred to have items shipped back to us, including packing material, boxes, etc. Be sure to keep a record of the tracking number. Gear Club Direct will not be held responsible for returns that are lost or damaged in transit. Gear Club Direct reserves the right to refuse any returns that are not returned according to the guidelines that are shown herein. All returned products must: Pre- Authorized Include ALL original packaging Not have packaging that is written on or defaced in any way Be in their original box with the UPC code still attached, unregistered, without missing, damaged, or altered serial numbers or the Pre-Authorization will be revoked and/or the item refused, at our sole discretion. Returns are inspected at our warehouse upon receipt. After a product technician receives, inspects, and approves the return, a refund will be issued for the amount of the original purchase price, less shipping charges, a 3% CC fee (if applicable), and a restocking fee. (For items ordered under our Free Shipping Promotion, the shipping charges that were incurred on our behalf will be deducted from the refund amount. The initial outgoing shipping is only free when you keep the item purchased ) A refund or exchange is typically processed within 2 to 5 business days, however processing time may vary depending on daily return volume. Thank you in advance for your patience. Return Policy Guidelines No product returns will be accepted more than 15 days after the date of delivery. No product returns will be accepted for non-returnable items. We are not able to accept returns on damaged merchandise that was not inspected by the customer at the time of original delivery and not reported or claimed within 72 hours of receipt. If a customer signs for a delivery and does not report any damage to the shipping company or to us, then it is the customer's responsibility to file a claim with the shipping company to recoup any damages. Please note that we are only able to process returns and refunds for items purchased from Gear Club Direct. No credit will be provided if a customer returns a product to us without a Pre -Authorization. If for any reason the shipping carrier is unable to deliver and a package is returned to us, either as undeliverable or refused by the customer, the customer will be responsible for both the original shipping costs incurred by Gear Club Direct and any return shipping charges and costs charged by the shipping carrier for the return or refusal. Restock fees will also apply. Defective Items A defect implies an imperfection in workmanship for what the item was designed for. If you've received an item that is not functioning correctly, and you've gone through troubleshooting techniques with a Gear Club Direct representative or the manufacturer and are still experiencing an issue, then you may have received a defective product. For your convenience, customers within the contiguous U.S. will be issued a printable, pre-paid shipping label for defective returns. Once we receive your return, it shall be inspected (serial numbers as well) and thoroughly tested by a technician. Once we have verified the defect, we will exchange the defective product for a brand-new one or issue a refund should you choose to decline a replacement. For products that are returned as defective, but which after inspection are found not to be defective, the customer will be fully responsible for all shipping charges, including the cost of retrieval, a 3% CC fee and a minimum 20% restock fee. Restocking Fees Maintaining trust with our customers is of monumental importance to us. That means communicating clearly and honestly, especially when it comes to a product's condition. When we sell an item as "New", it must be absolutely "never touched by anyone since the manufacturer-new ." This means that products that have been opened for any reason can no longer in good faith be re-sold as "New." Even if you only opened the box one time, looked inside, and decided to “change your mind” to the next customer this item is no longer "New." As a result, if you return a non-defective piece of equipment, we must resell it as an "Open Box" to the next customer - even if it still looks, sounds, and smells brand new. This is the same level of honesty and courtesy we extended to you when you made your purchase as well. Therefore, due to the time and expense involved in inspecting and processing a return, and since gear returned to us must be deeply discounted to be resold as "Open Box " all returned merchandise is subject to restocking fees, regardless of condition, as outlined below: Non-defective merchandise that is returned for refund in an unopened with the GCD tape intact, res
