US Rack Returns and Refunds

  1. If the product shipped has missing or defective components, U.S. Rack may first send the customer new components to solve the problem. If after receiving the replacement components, the product is still defective, the customer may call and request that U.S. Rack schedule a return pick-up of the product. After the product has been returned and shown to have a significant defect, the customer will be refunded the entire purchase price including shipping
  2. If customer wishes to return the product for reasons other than a mechanical defect, for most products the customer may call and request that U.S. rack schedule a return pick-up of the product. After the product has been returned U.S. Rack will refund the customer's purchase price minus the standard shipping charges listed on www.UPS.com or www.fedex.com for both directions and minus a 15% restocking fee to cover processing, handling, and repackaging costs. U.S. Rack may also deduct the fair value to repair any damage to the product not caused by U.S. Rack.
  3. All U.S. Rack products are packaged and shipped in excellent condition. Although U.S. Rack products are metal, in rare cases structural damage affecting function can occur during shipping. Products such as our heavy duty truck racks that are custom made or made to order are not returnable except for mechanical defects. In the case of mechanical defects or damage during shipping U.S. Rack will be happy to replace damaged components free of charge and ship via ground. Cosmetic damage such as scratching occurs more frequently during shipment. Such minor damage is beyond the control of U.S. Rack and U.S. Rack cannot be responsible for it. Luckily, such damage can usually be remedied by rubbing or by applying black touch-up or spray paint. A request for return because of cosmetic damage is governed by paragraph 2.
  4. When products are shipped by freight (common carrier) products are generally shipped to commercial addresses in commercial areas based upon the freight company’s determination. Special services such as notification calls before delivery, providing a truck with a lift gate, re-delivery, and especially delivery to residential addresses are available for an additional charge. If the freight company delivers such services, the customer alone is responsible for those charges, not U.S. Rack. We will order the services that the customer tells us are needed, any additional charges that may later be required will be charged back to the customer.
