Damaged Parts:

Upon receiving your order, inspect it immediately. If damage to a part is discovered, DO NOT send any parts back to The Thing Shop. A damage claim must be filed with the carrier. DO NOT dismantle the package, keep the parts and packing material in as close as possible to the original received condition. The carrier must determine how the damage occurred. Without the original container and packing material, your claim will be voided by the carrier. Damaged parts are to be returned by the carrier. Failure to follow these instructions could result in the loss of your time and money.

Parts being returned by a customer for any reason must be “postage paid” by the customer. We cannot accept any C.O.D.’s on returned merchandise. Electrical parts are none returnable, none refundable.

Refunds for purchases made with a credit card must be credited to the card used for the original purchase. It may take up to 30 days for the refund to be processed. Be sure to include a copy of your original purchase invoice along with instructions on what you would like done with any returned partsItems returned without instructions will not be processed. Shipping charges are non-refundable. Any items returned for refund without a valid reason will be subject to a 20% restocking charge.
