Return Policy for Factory-Shipped Products:
Return policies vary and are determined by the seller, including timeframes in which a return is accepted. If you have concerns regarding the specific return policy for a product, please contact us directly to get more detailed information.
Typically, factory-shipped products must be unused or defective to be eligible for return or exchange (shipping fees may be assessed to the customer, depending on the manufacturer). Damage due to shipping is not common, but if it occurs, the manufacturer will follow their specific policy to resolve the situation, which can vary from service/repair, shipping of replacement parts, and/or discounts to keep the damaged products. Toolots provides reassurances to ensure customer satisfaction with their order, on top of the manufacturer’s policies.
Factory-shipped products may be subject to a restocking fee (this applies to most products, though the fee will vary between manufacturers).
Factory-shipped products require approval from the manufacturer and a Toolots Return Specialist and are not to be returned directly to Toolots. Returned factory-shipped products must be returned to the factory that sent them and require a Return Authorization from Toolots. Please contact us directly to receive complete a Return Authorization.
Refunds are for the cost of the product ONLY. Shipping will not be reimbursed, and return shipping will not be covered. It is the customer’s responsibility to palletize/crate, strap, wrap, and/or box their product(s) for return shipment and pay any associated fees.
