We are willing to replace a defective item. If a refund is requested instead of a replacement we will charge a 25% restocking fee. All items returned to us will be tested, if they are found not to be defective there will be a restocking fee. Durnwood does not pay for return shipping of defective merchandise. We are not responsible for factory defects because we are not a product manufacturer and we do not produce the parts we carry. We will however split the cost of shipping with the customer. The customer agrees to pay to send the item back to Durnwood and Durnwood will consequently repair or replace the component and ship the item back to the original shipping address at no charge. If item is returned for a refund, client will pay shipping back to Durnwood and refund will be issued to the original cost of equipment only. Original Shipping Fees, Activation Fees and Restocking Fee are non-refundable.
