Valley Craft Return Policy
Valley Craft ships only first-quality merchandise after thorough inspection in strict compliance with customer orders. There is a 30-day return policy on all standard parts and products. All returns must have prior written factory approval. Returns made otherwise will not be accepted at the receiving dock and may result in customer liability for carrier storage charges. Authorized return merchandise will be subject to a 25 percent restocking charge plus applicable freight charges. Return authorization will contain instructions regarding disposition and shipping address to be used for return merchandise.
Custom Products (per quote specifications):
Products especially made to meet customer specifications are not returnable. An order acknowledgement and approval drawing will be provided on all custom orders. Be sure to check our acknowledgement of order and approval drawing against your requirements and report any discrepancies immediately. Valley Craft will not be responsible for incorrectly manufactured custom products that meet customer approved order acknowledgement and approval drawing specifications.
A down payment of 50% will be due within 10 days of order receipt. The remaining 50% is due net 30 days from product ship date. If down payment is not received within 10 days, work will be paused until payment is received. If order is cancelled by customer, customer is responsible for costs incurred up to the point of cancellation.
Shipments will be invoiced at prices effective upon receipt of order, unless prior arrangements have been made for shipment beyond normal lead time.
Freight:
Shipments are made FOB origin unless otherwise quoted. Merchandise is shipped either FOB origin freight collect, or FOB origin freight prepaid and added to customer invoice.
Freight Claims:
It is the receiving party’s responsibility to make the proper notations on freight bills at the time of receipt of “short shipments” or damaged merchandise. It is also the receiving party’s responsibility to initiate all claims with delivering carriers, and follow up on such claims until a satisfactory settlement is made with said carrier. Valley Craft Industries, Inc., is not responsible for short shipments due to loss by the carrier and/or damage in transit.
