Be sure to consider the following details regarding the return process:

• All shipping costs (to and from) will be deducted from the refund amount, even if the return request is requested during the transit of the merchandise to its destination.

• Once your return is approved, an itemized Return Authorization, return shipping labels, and comprehensive instructions will be emailed to you. Approved returns must be sent back within 30 days of receiving approval.
• For returns involving freight truck transportation, you must provide a photo of the item before authorization is granted. This photo will serve as a "before" reference to assess potential damages during transit.
• Proper packaging in both the original outer and inner packaging is essential to reduce the risk of damage during return transit. Include all original parts, manuals, pieces, packing slips, and related items.
• Once we receive and inspect the return, your refund will be processed. The timeframe for refund processing depends on the original payment method used for the order.
• Items returned outside of the prescribed process or the 30-day period are ineligible for a refund.
• Items returned independently, without adhering to our return process, are not eligible for a refund.

Important information: Delays in Delivery

We strive to provide you with the best shopping experience and ensure the timely delivery of your orders. However, we understand that unexpected delays can sometimes occur during the shipping process. Please read and understand the following disclaimer regarding our return policy in relation to delivery delays:

While we make every effort to deliver your purchases within the estimated timeframe, there may be situations beyond our control that result in shipping delays. These situations can include, but are not limited to, unforeseen weather conditions, logistical challenges, customs processing, and other external factors.

Due to these potential delays, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer free returns solely on the basis of delivery delays. 

The delivery times shown in our store are ESTIMATES, they may vary depending on the destination, the date and/or various external factors.

Defective Items:

In the rare event of receiving a defective product, most of the manufacturers we partner with offer support through their warranty process. Please follow these guidelines:

• The defective item must still be within the manufacturer's warranty period.
• Provide serial numbers, a description of the issue, and relevant pictures or videos illustrating the problem.
• Our knowledgeable Support team will assist you in troubleshooting to confirm the defect.
• We will report the issue to the manufacturer, who will review and approve or reject the claim.
• Manufacturer response times may vary based on their internal processes.
• If the claim is approved, the manufacturer's warranty process will initiate, and service, parts, repair, or a combination will be provided as per the warranty terms.
• Some parts or items may need to be returned to the manufacturer for quality control purposes.

Please note that GW STORE is not responsible for reimbursing labor costs or project delays resulting from defective goods. We advise delaying installation until items have been fully inspected upon delivery.

For any claims outside of the warranty period, replacement parts or units can be purchased through GW STORE, subject to availability.

Damages:

Should you receive a damaged item, immediate action is crucial:

• Notify us of damages within five (5) calendar days of delivery.
• Inspect all items upon delivery, even if not installing them immediately.
• If possible, refuse the damaged item with the carrier.
• If accepted, report the damage to us within 5 calendar days. Do not use the item if damage is reported.
• Options will include replacement parts, a discount to retain the damaged item, or a return for a refund/replacement.
