Shipping Expenses Paid at Time of Purchase
Fees paid for shipping are only eligible for credit or refund in the following circumstances:
Non-Timely Deliveries: If the ship method you selected was a guaranteed method and the package did not arrive as promised, we will refund the shipping fee subject to UPS or USPS terms and conditions of service. Please note that if the courier deems the service failure was due to something beyond their control (including weather), shipping fees are not eligible for credit or refund.
Defective Items: All products are new and sent in good faith. If you receive a defective item, we will refund the original shipping fee. Upgraded expedited shipping and international shipping fees (brokerage, duty, taxes) are not eligible for credit or refund.
Damaged Items: If you receive a damaged item, we will file a damage claim with the shipping courier that delivered your package. Once filed it generally takes eight to ten business days for the courier to provide the results of the investigation. If the shipping courier determines that the damage incurred is their failure, we will refund the original shipping fee.
Mis-Shipped Items: If you receive an item that is different from the item you ordered, we will either refund the shipping fees paid or ship the correct item to you using the shipping method you selected.
What should I do if the package arrives damaged?
If you notice that the shipping box is significantly damaged, please refuse delivery by the carrier and contact us. If you are unable to refuse the shipment, please save the product and all packaging, and immediately contact us to arrange for a carrier inspection and pickup of the damaged product. Timely receipt of this information is necessary for us to file a damage claim.
What if I refuse my shipment or wish to cancel an order that is already in transit?
Once a package leaves our facility, our normal return policy applies. You may refuse a shipment at the time of delivery if you wish. We do ask that you contact us advising of the refusal so that we know how to proceed once your packages arrives at our facility. Please note that the shipping cost of the return will be deducted from your credit or refund.
What if the delivery address I provided was incorrect and the package is undeliverable?
Packages sent via U.S. Mail:
We have no way of rerouting U.S. Mail packages once they have left our facility. If the address provided is close, the package may still get delivered. If only the street address contains an error, you may wish to contact your local post office and request assistance with the matter. If the package cannot be delivered, it will likely be returned to our facility by the postal service. Upon receiving the package, we are happy to resend the package to the correct address. Unless the address error was made by WeatherShack, we do kindly request reimbursement of shipping fees to the incorrect address.
Packages sent via UPS:
In many cases we are able to reroute UPS packages while they are in transit. If you find that the address you provided is incorrect, please contact us and we will make the necessary changes with UPS. Please note: UPS charges a $15.00 intercept fee. Unless the address error was made by WeatherShack, the customer is responsible for the UPS fee. If the package cannot be intercepted, it will likely be returned to our facility by UPS. Upon receiving the package, we are happy to resend the package to the correct address. Unless the address error was made by WeatherShack, we do kindly request reimbursement of shipping fees to the incorrect address.
How long will it take for my return to be processed?
Processing time may vary depending on daily return volume. Typically, returns are processed within five business days upon receipt.
