Returned Merchandise Policy

All returned merchandise requires authorization. Contact our service representatives first for shipping instructions and to obtain a return authorization number. Credit will not be issued unless authorization to return merchandise has been received.

Any charges that may be incurred due to damaged merchandise will be deducted from credits owed. BendPak / Ranger is not responsible for merchandise damaged in return shipment.

All merchandise and equipment is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of shipment. No other warranties are implied. Customers have 30 days to identify a valid warranty issue to the warranty department.

A 20% restocking fee will be charged for merchandise returned to BendPak / Ranger for reasons other than warranty. In addition to the above restocking charge, customers are also responsible for any and all applicable shipping charges incurred by BendPak / Ranger on return shipment.

 

Domestic Freight Policy

BendPak's transportation department will always consider the most cost-effective and efficient method that best benefits our customers when choosing freight carriers and/or freight carrier methods. Please refer to the Dealer Price Schedule for a listing of FREE SHIPPING items. FREE SHIPPING items will be shipped freight prepaid anywhere in the continental United States to direct shipping points within the 48 continental US - any final destination located within a rural shipping area will be charged a 5%-RATZ surcharge. Rural Area Transportation Zones are based on transportation lane accessibility and their functional accessibility to major highways and shipping lanes. Transportation and shipping to these remote and rural locations are usually non-direct shipping points with higher associated delivery costs. Refer to the BendPak website in the footer section and use the RATZ search for a listing of Rural Area Transportation Zones. Generally, ZIP codes within a RATZ Surcharge area are very rural and make up a small percentage of the US territory.

For parts orders less than $1000.00, applicable freight charges will be added to the order depending on weight and method of shipment. Additional freight charges will apply for all shipments destined for Alaska, Hawaii, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Additional freight charges also apply for expedited, guaranteed or definite delivery requests. Please contact our sales department for quotes prior to placing order as it is difficult to change shipment method after freight leaves our manufacturing facility. REQUESTS FOR COD SHIPMENTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED. Items less than 150lbs will be shipped UPS or Fed Ex ground unless otherwise stipulated on the purchase order. Some items cannot be shipped via UPS or Fed Ex due to size, weight and hazardous materials restrictions. Some items may also have additional hazardous-materials charges.

FINAL DELIVERY
BendPak / Ranger will take no responsibility for additional charges of any kind that consignee may incur related to:

  • The renting or acquisition of equipment of any type necessary to unload items off of a delivering carrier's vehicle.
  • Any charges related to delivery of items to residential areas with restrictions on carrier vehicle size or weight unless such charges were prepaid prior to shipment.
  • Any charges related to delivery of items via lift-gate unless such charges were prepaid prior to shipment.

FREIGHT DAMAGE
Shipments should be thoroughly inspected by consignee as soon as they are received. The signed Bill of Lading is acknowledgement by the carrier of receipt in good condition of shipment covered by the Bill of Lading. If any of the goods called for on the Bill of Lading are shorted or damaged, consignees should not accept them until the carrier makes a notation on the freight bill of the shorted or damaged goods.

CONCEALED DAMAGE
CONSIGNEES MUST NOTIFY FREIGHT CARRIER AT ONCE if any hidden loss or damage is discovered after receipt and request the carrier to make an inspection within 48 hour. If the carrier is unable to do so, prepare a signed statement to the effect that you have notified the carrier (on a specific date) and that the carrier has failed to comply with your request (name of person you talk to, date and time of the conversation). NOTE THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN THE CARRIER A CLEAR RECEIPT. File your claim with the carrier promptly and support your claim with a cargo loss and damage claim form, copies of the bill of lading, freight bill, product invoice, photographs, and inspection claim given to you by inspector after inspection is done. Note that BendPak / Ranger willingness to assist in helping you process your claim does not make BendPak / Ranger responsible for collection of claims or replacement of lost or damaged materials.

MISSING OR INCORRECT PRODUCTS/PARTS
At its discretion, BendPak / Ranger will consider replacing any missing or incorrect products/parts from shipments at no charge provided consignee identifies and reports such items to the Customer Service/Parts department within 30 days of date of receipt of order. Missing or incorrect products/parts from shipments will not be replaced if they are reported more than 30 days beyond the receipt of order.
