Returns & Warranty

Merchandise Return Policy

Merchandise is returnable for credit or refund within 30 days of purchase subject to the following:

• All return merchandise must be shipped to us PREPAID within 30 days of original sale. Collect shipments will be refused. If we have made an error and supplied the wrong part, we will refund the cost of the most economical mode of transportation to return the part. We alone will judge if we have made an error.
• In order for returns to be accepted, goods must be in new, resalable condition, IN THEIR ORIGINAL PACKAGING.
• Returned merchandise must not have been fitted, altered, or used at any time.
• Returns of electrical or special order goods are not accepted for return at any time.
• No returns will be accepted after 30 days from the date of the original sale for any reason!

Shipment of Merchandise Returns

To avoid any confusion please note our return & exchange policy:

Subject to our policy as stated above please keep in mind that all returns must be delivered or shipped to us on a freight prepaid basis. Parts sent to us "collect" will be refused.

1. If you order a part and don't need it, please send it back by the cheapest method, freight prepaid.
2. If you need to return a part because it is defective or does not fit, it must still be returned to us freight prepaid.

After we receive a part that does not fit or is defective as in (2) above, we will check or test the part as appropriate. If we are convinced the error is ours, we will credit your account for the cheapest method of return shipment to us. In the case of most small parts this will be in the range of $5.00.

We are sorry that we can't accept any collect returns and here's why: A small box returned to us by Canada Post will cost approximately $5.00. The same box shipped to us on a collect basis by a courier would cost $18.75. Since we must keep all costs to a minimum (to keep parts prices down!) we cannot accept collect returns with their associated exorbitant costs.

In order to prevent an unpleasant situation for all customers please heed this policy.

Merchandise Return Procedure

If the merchandise that you wish to return complies with the policy above then here is all you have to do:

• Photocopy your original sales invoice
• Write a short note with your name and phone number indicating what you want done, ie. exchange of parts, warranty repair, credit against future purchase, or refund.
• Carefully package the merchandise that you wish to return. Use a heavy cardboard box with lots of tape.
• Place your letter & invoice in an envelope, and firmly tape it to the outside of the box.
• Mail or otherwise ship the package to us freight prepaid to our Point Edward store. Follow the "Contact Us" link above for the address.
