Please DO NOT ship returns to our headquarters location as we have multiple warehouse locations. You must wait to get approval and instructions from us before attempting any return. ANY UNAUTHORIZED RETURNS MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED OR REFUNDED.
STEP ONE - Request a Resolution
Please read our returns policy at the bottom of this page before completing the issue notification form. To return a product for any reason, including damage or defect, begin the returns process by choosing one of the options below.
Please be sure to enter your e-mail address and phone number correctly to ensure that we may contact you concerning your return. By submitting our issue notification form online or via fax, you agree to our return policy.
Please Note: If a replacement product is requested, we reserve the right to have a technician attempt to troubleshoot via phone and/or email prior to making a return and having a replacement shipped. Some of our products are very technical in nature and many times the issues our customer’s experience can be resolved with technical support.
STEP TWO - Receive an RMA Number and Return of Product
Once the form has been submitted either electronically or by fax, our Returns Manager will review the request. If the request meets the requirements of our return policy (stated below), we will provide return instructions and a Return of Material Authorization (RMA) number. Please allow several days for the RMA to be generated. The RMA # must be highly visible on the exterior of the package. We suggest you use a permanent marker and clear, block lettering to do this. We highly recommend using a carrier which assigns tracking numbers, such as UPS or FedEx. The customer must provide a tracking number for any return made.
DO NOT ship returns to our headquarters location as we have multiple warehouse locations. Returns can only be made to the address provided with the RMA and return instructions.
STEP THREE - Completion of Return
Non-defective returned merchandise must arrive in new and unused condition in the original packaging materials. Once the merchandise has been received by the warehouse you were instructed to ship to, it will be inspected and either it will be replaced or a refund will be issued if the merchandise can be returned to inventory and resold. Purchases will be refunded via the same payment method you provided when you placed your order.
RETURN POLICY
All return request forms must be submitted within 30 days of the delivery date of an order. Any request submitted after this time period will be denied.
- All items must be returned in the original packaging, and must be in new, resalable condition. Items purchased as a package or kit must be returned in full. No partial returns are allowed.
- Return Exceptions: Consumable items, such as paper products, refills for electric erasers, replacement cartridges, et cetera, cannot be returned. Items that packaged in blister packs (thick plastic covering that requires the use of scissors to open) that have been opened, may not be returned. Special order items are non-cancellable, non-returnable, and non-refundable. Special order items include but not limited to are custom colors on products and items ordered that are not listed on our website. If an item is not returnable, it is clearly indicated on its catalog product page.
- Refunds may not be made (or if accepted an additional fee maybe deducted) on merchandise that is:
- fully or partially assembled

Authorized returns of non-defective/damaged merchandise will be refunded in full minus a 20% restocking fee and shipping. Shipping is non-refundable.
- Restocking fees are waived if the customer places a new order of equal or greater value within 10 business days of submitting the return request form.
- In rare situations the warehouse may not want the item returned. Should this occur, please note that the restocking fee is still deducted if no new order (of equal or greater value) is placed.
Returns must be shipped and the tracking number provided within 10 business days after we issue the RMA number to you.
- We recommend that you use a shipping company such as UPS, FedEx, or USPS that offers a tracking number feature when making a return.
- Return shipping will be the responsibility of the customer, unless otherwise advised.
- Items being returned due to damage, defect or an incorrect shipment must also be returned within 10 business days of you receiving the return label/RMA number. If within 30 days the item(s) is not returned, you will be responsible for payment of the item(s), and your original form of payment will be charged as applicable.
Notification of defective/damaged products:
- We strongly advise that our customers inspect and test any product immediately upon receipt. If any product is found to be defective or damaged, please notify us immediately upon noting the issue.

Unauthorized returns:
- Unauthorized returns may not be refunded.

- Any undeliverable order which is returned to the warehouse due to an incorrect address, the customer not being available for delivery or a refusal by the customer may have the restocking fee and return shipping cost deducted from the refunded. If the order is still wanted, you may need to place a new order. If the order is eligible, a reshipping fee will be charged to your original form of payment
