Damaged merchandise must remain in the original master carton with all packing from the carton. You must write “DAMAGED” when signing for the shipment.

Shipments of damaged goods back to our warehouse are the responsibility of the customer. Inspect all packages and report visible damage to the carrier upon acceptance. Be sure to note all damages on the shipping papers before you sign it. Examine the merchandise at once.
