PRODUCT RETURN GUIDELINES
It is important to understand the standards that have been established within the industry regarding the terms and conditions of a sale. The standards are as follows:
The purchases are subject to manufacturer restrictions that may be different from other product purchases you have made. All product returns require an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number, which can be obtained by contacting our Customer Service department. These category returns are subject to a restocking fee. Several manufacturers’ policies and restrictions disallow product returns. Products from these manufacturers are not returnable. You will need to contact these manufacturers directly regarding return or replacement of their products in accordance with their respective guarantees and/or warranties.
Please save all packaging and accessories for any item that is to be returned. All original equipment, components, manuals, cables, documents and packaging must be returned with your item for your return to be accepted. All returns are inspected prior to credit being given and a return may not be accepted or additional restocking fees may apply if not all items are returned in a new condition. An item returned for a replacement may be repaired or replaced at the company’s discretion, unless otherwise required by law. Products with specific refund and return policies and deadlines must be returned within the times specified for each item. All items sold through our websites are subject to our Privacy Policy regarding use of the site and order acceptance. Physically damaged items cannot be returned.
SHIPPING CHARGES:
Original shipping charges are not refundable. Shipping charges on returned products are the responsibility of the customer. We will match the shipping method and pay for shipping charges on replacement or exchanged products. We strongly recommend you fully insure your return shipment in case of loss or damage.
RESTOCKING FEE:
A 15% restocking fee will be charged unless the item you received is defective, damaged, you received the wrong item, or law prohibits the fee. A restocking fee of up to 25% will be charged in some cases as noted and an additional fee may be charged for products returned as defective that test to be operational upon return. Additionally, any return that has missing accessories or is incomplete in packaging may be rejected or will be subject to an additional restock fee to cover the price of the missing item.

Other then produced by Gold Refining Systems products may be covered by Manufacturer’s Warranty. Manufacturers' warranty details are typically available at the manufacturer's website. Manufacturers' warranties can also be obtained free by contacting the manufacturer. Please note that products in this category are non-refundable unless otherwise indicated.
Some products must be returned directly to the product manufacturer for repair or replacement, unless otherwise required by law. For these items, the warranty policy from the product manufacturer explicitly requires that any returns, repairs etc. be requested and processed directly by the consumer (or "end-user") of the item. More specific return policies are designated for the item categories listed below.

Products missing UPC codes or serial numbers from the box are NOT returnable, are non-refundable, and will be rejected. Only the product manufacturer can replace any defective item missing the UPC code.
Bundle Specials
Bundle Specials contain multiple items offered together at a discounted price. Offers are valid only while supplies last. Purchasing multiple units of a Bundle Special that feature a mail-in rebate may yield only one redeemable rebate offer (per the manufacturer's "limit one per household" provision). If you wish to return a Bundle Special for a refund, you must return the ENTIRE BUNDLE within specified return period from the date of purchase. Note that a restocking fee of up to 15% will be applied. Components within a Bundle Special may be returned for replacement only. Individual items may only be returned for replacement if an RMA number is acquired within the Standard Return period.
