RETURN GOODS AUTHORIZATION STATEMENT
All returns must be pre-approved. A Return Goods
Authorization number (RGA) can be obtained by contacting Red Lion’s Customer
Service Department. Product part numbers and date codes will be required along
with an acceptable reason for return. In addition, original invoice or purchase
order numbers are required to calculate credit amounts. Shipments returned to
Red Lion Controls must have the return number clearly marked on the package.
Shipments received without a return number will be subject to an additional 5%
handling fee. Authorization numbers will be cancelled if product is not received
within 60 days of authorization number issue date.
Credit amount will be issued based on purchase amount
shown on original invoice or purchase order. Also considered when determining
credit amount is the reason for return, condition of unit, and any other
applicable discounts.
OEM product, non-stock product, product built to
customers’ specifications, software, raw materials, and/or batteries, cannot
be returned for credit or exchange.
Product returned because of an error or defect on the
part of Red Lion will receive full credit, including freight charges. All other
returns will be subject to handling fees to be paid by the customer. Freight
charges incurred due to shipments and/or returns that are not due to an error on
the part of Red Lion are the responsibility of the customer.
