Defective/Damaged/Missing Product Policy

If you have received a product that you feel is possibly defective/damaged or is missing parts you must contact MWE NA within 3 business days of arrival and a case will be opened for you. Failure to provide notice within 3 days constitutes waiver.
NOTE: In the event a product is damaged by others or improperly installed, MWE NA is not responsible for any damage to the product or surrounding area.
Returns
Please contact MWE NA in writing for a “Return Goods Authorization” (RGA). US stocked goods are only credited if a customer has been issued an RGA and the goods are received in saleable condition. Once the goods are received, MWE NA will issue a credit memo, which can be applied to your next payment. Credits are only given via account credit. If the items are not returned within 14 days, the RGA is voided. Custom special-order products, including custom finished products, are not returnable. All approved returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee.
Merchandise returned must meet the following criteria upon inspection: original packaging, all parts, pieces & instruction manuals. If during inspection it is noted that an item has been installed no credit will be issued.
MWE, NA is not responsible for shipping charges on returns.
Return of Defective/Damaged Product Instructions
To return a defective/damaged product you must do the following:
Please ensure that you package your item(s) per the carrier’s guidelines, so if your package(s) is damaged in transit being returned, you will have a better chance of getting your freight claim accepted by the carrier you chose to return the item(s). From experience this is VERY important, because if the item(s) are refused by MWE NA because of shipping damage the only means for you to get your money back is through a freight claim with the carrier you chose.
All items are inspected once returned to our warehouse and if the item is found non-defective the item will be returned to you and shipping charges will apply. If the returned item is found to be defective replacements will be sent and your shipping costs will be made available as a credit towards a future order. Failure to follow these instructions may result in additional fees or a denied claim. Seller agrees to pay for shipping of the items coming back to MWE NA
Seller is responsible for fully insuring (for full purchase price) the items coming back to MWE NA
