Return Material Authorization (RMA) Policy

Link to RMA Request Form

Product returned to KING-GAGE for any reason must have a KING-GAGE issued Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. Warranty returns may require proof of purchase (invoice number and date).

An RMA is valid for 30 days from issuance and product must arrive at KING-GAGE within that validity period.

All product must be shipped freight prepaid.

The RMA number must be clearly visible on the outside of the package. A packing list must be included clearly showing the RMA number, part number, quantity, and reason for return.

KING-GAGE CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PRODUCT RETURNED WITHOUT AN RMA NUMBER AND ANY SUCH PRODUCT MAY BE REFUSED AND RETURNED AT THE CUSTOMER'S EXPENSE.

An RMA number is issued in good faith based upon customer's representation of the product quantity, condition, age and reason for return. All returned product will be inspected by KING-GAGE. If the product is found to be other than that originally represented, the shipment will be returned at the customer's expense.

An RMA may be requested by contacting KING-GAGE Customer Service via email: rma@noshok.com, fax at 440-243-3472 or filling out the form online.

I. Warranty Returns

Product under warranty must have an RMA number and be returned to KING-GAGE freight prepaid. If the product is determined to be covered under warranty, the product will be repaired, replaced or a credit will be issued at KING-GAGE's option under KING-GAGE's warranty terms. The product will be returned freight prepaid to the customer.

II. Incorrect Shipments & Product Received

For short shipments or incorrectly supplied product, discrepancies must be reported within 15 days of receipt. For short shipments, a debit memo should be issued to KING-GAGE. KING-GAGE will then issue a credit memo, ship the missing product freight prepaid, and issue an invoice.

For incorrectly supplied product, all returns require an RMA number and must be returned freight prepaid. A debit memo should be issued to KING-GAGE for the freight. If the product is determined to have been returned for cause, KING-GAGE will issue a credit for the product and the prepaid return freight. If a replacement is required, KING-GAGE will ship freight prepaid and invoice for the new product.

III. General Terms for Credit Returns

IV. Restocking Charges

  1. All returns will be subject to a 15% re-stocking fee

V. Safety & Handling Requirements

For the safety of our employees, as well as to meet government regulations, KING-GAGE requires the following information to accompany returned products that have been installed.

  1. MSDS (if available).
  2. Signed decontamination documentation.

If these items do not accompany the return, the product will not be inspected and the RMA will not be completed. KING-GAGE cannot be held responsible for any returned product that has not been decontaminated by the customer. Any such items may be refused or returned at the customer's expense.

VI. Annual Return Policy

In an effort to increase sales and improve inventory turn for our distributors, KING-GAGE offers all stocking distributors one stock return per year. This program is available to allow stocking distributors the opportunity to return slow moving items and replace them with items that are higher in demand.

An RMA number must be obtained from KING-GAGE to initialize your Annual Return. A packing list must be included clearly showing the RMA number, part number, quantity, and reason for return.

All products returned must be current stock items and in new condition. Items returned that have been assembled with any accessory will be subject to a 25% re-stocking fee. Non-stock items and special production items may not be returned for credit as described under the Exclusions section of this policy. All items that have been found to be non-returnable may be scrapped or returned to you at your expense.

Upon completion of our return evaluation a total credit amount will be determined and we will advise the dollar amount of the credit due. We then require an order of equal or greater value be placed within 10 days after notification. When submitting your replacement order, please make reference that it is to offset your Annual Return Credit.
