-
5.1. Responsibility for Shipping Costs: For all eligible returns, the customer is solely responsible for all shipping costs. This includes the cost of the original shipment from our facility to you (even if a "free shipping" promotion was applied) and the cost of the return shipment back to our facility. These costs are non-refundable and will be deducted from any refund issued.
-
5.2. Eligibility: American Mortuary Coolers offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on eligible items. To qualify, the item(s) must NOT have been USED or OPENED, and must be in "like-new," resalable condition in the original packaging when returned to our facility.
-
5.3. Return Process: To return an item, you must first contact our support team at 1-888-792-9315 to receive a return authorization code (RA). Returns sent without an RA code will not be accepted.
-
5.4. Refund Calculation: All shipping costs for the returned item(s) are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Once the item is received and inspected for damages, we will calculate the refund. The refund amount is the original purchase price, LESS the following:
