Damages/Replacements/Return/Cancellation Policy
Damages & Freight Claims : Remember: You are the final inspector. Our company carefully packed and inspected your order before it left our facilities, and the responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by the carrier upon acceptance of the shipment. Warehouserack.com contracts with the carrier for delivery to you, but our responsibility for safe delivery of the products and merchandise ceases when shipments are received by the carrier. Therefore, for the protection of all parties it is important that upon receipt of your order you thoroughly inspect your order and confirm that it is received in full and without damage. Along with the order, you will receive a packing list detailing all the products included in your order. You must check your order against this packing list to confirm that all pieces have been received (note: If the packing list is missing from your order this must also be noted upon the carrier’s delivery receipt). You should examine the products for any visible signs of damage. After you have inspected your order, you will then be required to sign for the shipment to confirm that your order has been delivered complete and in good condition. This discharges the freight company/carrier/ shipper from any responsibility (note: in certain circumstances damage that was not readily visible may be accepted by the carrier as a “concealed damage” claim-see below). Any deviation in your order must be called to the attention of the carrier while the driver is present and properly noted upon the carrier's delivery receipt for damage and/or shortage. The same must then reported to Warehouserack.com customer service at 877-914-7225 as soon as possible within 24 hours, but in no event later than 30 days of receipt. Any shortage noted on the carrier’s delivery receipt will be replaced at no additional charge, including freight costs for return or replacement, provided the notification is received within 30 days. You must provide Warehouserack.com with a copy of the delivery receipt noting the damage or shortfall, along with a letter stating whether you would like replacement or credit. Again, if the delivery receipt is not properly notated, there is no recourse with the carrier and thus no reshipment, nor reimbursement.
All damaged products plus packing materials must be kept in the general location of delivery until a damage inspection has been made by the delivering carrier. Do not dispose of any cartons or packaging until all discrepancies/variations have been addressed by the carrier or Warehouserack.com. If you are not the person receiving the product, you must give instructions to the person in charge of receiving the order to comply with these requirements. Failure to perform any of these conditions may cause additional charges for returns or replacements to be incurred. Concealed Damage: In the event concealed damage is found, it must be reported to Warehouserack.com as soon as possible within 24 hours of discovery of the damage, but in no event later than 30 days of receipt. The responsibility to inspect your order and notify Warehouserack.com is upon you, the customer, and failure to do so will result in Warehouserack.com being unable to in turn file a claim with the carrier and comply with trucking rules and regulations. Warehouserack.com will investigate any concealed damage claim as promptly as possible.
Any damage, including concealed damage, which is not notated upon the delivery receipt, may be subject to additional charges for replacement. Please contact customer service for returns or replacements, at 877-914-7225 or by e-mail at info@warehouserack.com. For all prepaid returns, you are advised to retain the tracking number for reference in the unlikely event the package is not received. Notes and exceptions:
- - All credits are for price paid at time of order including discounts.
- - Keep all packing material and literature in the event a return is necessary.
- - Credit will not be given on special orders for any reason. However, exchanges may be allowed if requested within 30 days of the invoice date.
- - Return the product within 5 business days after receiving the RA# to receive credit.
- - Obtaining an RA does not guarantee credit. Read below policy to make sure your return falls under these guidelines.
