This policy explains when you can return equipment purchased from xautotools.com, who pays the freight, and how and when your money comes back. It applies to every order shipped within the 48 contiguous states.
A return qualifies for a full refund of the purchase price when every point on this list is met. If one is not, the return may still be accepted with a deduction (see Section 6), or declined and shipped back at your cost.
If the equipment arrives damaged, is not what you ordered, or has a defect we confirm within the first 15 days, none of the costs in this policy apply to you. Note the problem on the delivery receipt, email photos to contact@
Outbound freight was free, so the only shipping cost on a standard return is the trip back. Heavy equipment moves by LTL freight and the price depends on weight, distance and whether a liftgate pickup is needed at your address.
When you ask us to book the return, we use our negotiated carrier rate and show the exact figure before you agree. Typical cost from the customer's address to the nearest of our 6 warehouses is $250 to $600.
Refunds always go back to the payment method used at checkout. We cannot refund to a different card, a different person or as cash. Financed orders are refunded to the lender, who then closes or adjusts your account.
Partial refunds and restocking. A unit returned with missing parts, a damaged crate or signs of handling that stop us reselling it as new may be accepted with a restocking deduction of up to 20% of the purchase price. The deduction reflects the real cost of replacement parts, repackaging and re-inspection, and we itemize it in the inspection email before the refund is issued. Units with hours on the meter are not eligible for a partial refund; they are returned to you at your cost.
Cancellations. Orders cancelled before dispatch are refunded in full, including any Express Freight fee. Once the carrier has picked up, a cancellation is treated as a return under this policy.
Email the order number and reason. We issue an RA number within 1 business day.
