Failure to follow any procedure in the above manner will negate your ability to return that item. A restocking charge (minimum of 15%) will apply to all returns of normal in-stock items. Any and all shipping costs incurred by Albright Direct will be deducted from any credit or refund on returns.
SPECIAL ORDERS POLICY
Albright Direct will special order non-stock merchandise, on a case-by-case basis, from our manufacturers. Special order items must be paid for, in full, prior to the actual order being made. Once the order has been made, a cancellation of the order may result in a handling charge (minimum 50%) being imposed by the manufacturer and/or Albright Direct. Once the merchandise has been manufactured, shipped or delivered, no cancellation can be made. Special order items are not normal stock. As a result, they may not be returned for a credit or refund for any reason.
DAMAGE OR SHORTAGE POLICY
With any order or shipment, we strongly recommend that you open and inspect every package immediately upon delivery. Failing to take this precautionary step may cause unnecessary delays or even negate our ability to assist you should an item be missing or damaged.
If you do not inspect each package, WE CANNOT AND WILL NOT be responsible for any claims you make regarding damaged or missing items.
Albright Direct does not sell or ship seconds, defective or damaged products without prior notice and customer consent. We carefully inspect all items prior to shipment to insure that they are in good condition and that all items are shipped correctly. However, from time to time, items will be damaged in transit or may be missing from the shipment. Listed below are procedures that MUST be followed for satisfactory resolution of a problem. Motor Freight carriers and UPS are VERY restrictive in their policies and will not pay claims if you deviate from their prescribed method in any way. Rest assured that we will gladly assist you with a claim for damage or a missing item as long as the correct procedures have been followed.

Please make certain that the number of items being delivered exactly matches the number of items listed on the delivery document. If the quantity delivered is less than the stated amount on the document, you must note the shortage on the delivery ticket and make certain the driver acknowledges the shortage. This cannot be emphasized enough. In addition, please contact us so we may follow-up with the carrier.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE
LISTED PROCEDURES WILL NEGATE OUR
ABILITY TO ASSIST YOU!
In general, we send out a replacement part to correct the damage or shortage. We usually utilize UPS ground service or the U.S postal service for shipping of replacement parts. Optional faster shipping is available at extra cost. In some cases, a repair or replacement part may need to be ordered as we do not stock every part for every item we sell. You are responsible for all shipping charges for replacement or repair parts.
