Autogear4u.com makes every effort to ensure all items in a customer’s order are delivered undamaged and in excellent condition. Please make sure to inspect your package upon delivery and notify us immediately about any missing, damaged, or incorrect items. If we are not notified of any problems with your package within 5 business days of delivery, then it is assumed your items arrived in good condition and Autogear4u.com is no longer liable for any damaged, missing, or incorrect items. We are not responsible for any installation or service costs.

The parts and accessories listed in our catalog are brand new, genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) items. As our parts are sourced from the manufacturer, strict return procedures are imposed upon us when processing returns. We encourage our customers to work with us within these guidelines because the manufacturer has strict requirements. For more information about our return guidelines, please read below.

1. How can I return an item?

A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) form is required for all returns. Customers must contact us within 30 calendar days of delivery date to receive an RMA, unless it is concerning incorrect, missing, damaged, or defective parts. Please see “When do I need an RMA?” for details. To obtain an RMA form, please contact us through email. Our RMA agents will respond back in 24 to 48 hours. We require this time to investigate and resolve the situation accordingly before we can send an RMA form.

2. What items cannot be returned?

(17) Safety items, which include, but are not limited to: air bags, seat belts.

(18) International orders are non-returnable. We are unable to warranty parts for international orders.

The listing on our website is a general catalog provided by the manufacturer. Items may not always be labeled as one of the above categories. Our RMA agents reserve the right to determine whether an item fits into any of the above categories at their discretion.

3. What do I do after I receive an RMA?

Once a return is authorized, we must receive the item(s) within 30 calendar days of the receipt of the order. RMA’s beyond 30 calendar days of receipt of order will not be honored. All returned items must be in new condition, within the original packaging, and fit for resale. All returns must have the genuine manufacturer label unaltered and intact, and do not alter or write on the original packaging. Be sure to include the RMA form in your return package. Please use a reliable shipping carrier for your return and email us the tracking information through the contact us section.

4. When do I need an RMA?

Incorrect item is shipped

(3) If a replacement is not wanted, you can ask for a refund for the cost of the ordered item. The incorrect part must still be returned to us in new condition, in original packaging, and fit for resale, with the genuine manufacturer label unaltered and intact.

Pictures may be required to authenticate your claim. We do not cross-ship under any circumstances, meaning we must receive the returned item(s) before issuing any replacement(s).

Missing items

(3) If the missing item or component is sold separately and not included with the original part or accessory, a separate order must be placed and shipping charges will be applied.

Part arrives damaged/defective

(2) Notify us through the RMA request form within 5 business days of receipt, so we can file a damage claim with the shipping carrier. After we consult with the shipping company, we will advise the customer on how to proceed further with the return.

Pictures may be required to authenticate your claim. We do not cross-ship under any circumstances, meaning we must receive your returned item(s) before issuing any replacement(s). We recommend having your parts installed by a certified professional and we are not responsible for any damages made during installation.

If you have a part that has a warranty problem, contact us and we’ll help you figure out the next steps.

Package lost in-transit

If a package is lost in transit and has not been delivered, the customer must notify us within 5 business days of the scheduled delivery date. We will then contact the shipping carrier to place a tracer on the missing package(s). If the shipping carrier cannot locate the lost package(s), a claim will be filed and a replacement order or refund will be provided. We will not be responsible for any lost package claims made after this time period.

Changed my mind/not needed

If an item(s) is no longer needed, the customer can request an RMA within 30 days from receipt of delivery. Please keep in mind the part must still be in new, uninstalled condition, with all of the original factory packaging intact. Electrical parts are non-returnable, regardless of reason or circumstance. We reserve the right to reject any returned item that does not meet any one of our guidelines stated above. RMA’s beyond 30 calendar days of receipt of order will not be honored. The customer is responsible for all costs of returning the item back to us and all shipping charges are non-refundable.

Ordered incorrect part

If the customer ordered the wrong item(s) by mistake, the return follows the same criteria for “changed my mind/not needed.” We must be notified within 30 days from receipt of delivery by submitting an RMA request form. RMA’s beyond 30 calendar days of receipt of order will not be honored. The customer is responsible for all costs of returning the item back to us and all shipping charges are non-refundable. We cannot do exchanges.

Other reason for return

RMA requests that do not fall under the above categories will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and a detailed reason must be provided for returning your order.

5. What if my return is rejected?

If a returned item(s) does not meet our guidelines, or does not have an RMA form indicating prior authorization, your return will be denied. If a returned part is damaged during transit back to our facility, it may also be rejected. In either case, the customer has the option to have the returned item(s) shipped back at their expense. Your package will be held for 14 business days after we receive it before being discarded and after this time, we are no longer responsible for the item(s).

6. When will I receive a refund or replacement?

If the returned part(s) passes inspection, refunds will usually be issued within 5 business days after the return delivery date. Issuing time for replacements will vary depending on when we receive your return and the availability of the parts.

7. Are there any restocking fees?

A 20% restocking fee may be applicable to all returned parts. Depending on the circumstances, our RMA agents will determine special exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
