Terms, Conditions, and Refunds
-----
Availability
By placing an order online, customers are responsible for checking part availability with the manufacturer or sales rep from LiftGateMe if needed. Because an item is purchasable on LiftGateMe.com does not guarantee that it is in stock and can ship same day, so please verify if an item is needed immediately.
Returns
Returns must be filed within 14 days of receiving the item. After 14 days, we cannot offer a refund or exchange. We try to work hard to help our customers so please reach out if it is past the return deadline as these dates are put in place because of manufacturing rules.
Returns will incur a 30% restocking fee plus a $10 service fee. Shipping rates are not refundable unless the return is by the fault of LiftGateMe or the manufacturer.
To be eligible for a return:
- items must be unused and in new condition
- items must be in their original packaging
- the total value of the ordered part(s), excluding taxes and shipping, must be over $70
All returns are valid for 30 days from the date of RMA receipt. Any orders returned after that 30 day period (date will be noted on RMA letter emailed to customers) will be rejected. If they are received and shipment is dropped off, they will be held for 30 days and discarded after that, if the customer does not wish to provide return shipping.
In the event a customer returns an item without proper RMA approval, the item(s) can be rejected and the return is the responsibility of the customer. If the item(s) are accepted, they will incur a 60% restocking fee and a $50 processing fee
If a customer rejects a delivery/order or returns the order without RMA authorization sent via our email (parts@liftgateme.com), the return will be subject to a 30% restocking fee if the parts are verified new/not installed. If the part has been verified as Used, there will be no return/refund and the customer will be responsible for return shipping charges if they want the part(s) back.
Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Custom items, or items that must be sent LTL freight or items above 150 lbs, such as platforms, runners, cannot be returned by default; there are exceptions and we will work hard to accommodate the needs of our customers. New liftgates cannot be returned unless there is a manufacturer's defect which the manufacturer must approve before the item is returned. We also do not accept products to be returned which are hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gasses.
Due to the nature of Cylinder Seal kits, all sales on seal kits will be final and returns will not be accepted. This is due to the soft materials and the unknown state of the used cylinders they may be used for. We do NOT recommend resealing cylinders at all and most manufacturers do not recommend it after the cylinder is 2 years old as well.
Additional non-returnable items:
- Gift cards
- Downloadable software products
- Complete Liftgate Assemblies
- Items shipped LTL
- Seal kits
- Items which were custom manufactured for an order
To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.
Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer as your return will not be accepted and may be lost. We cannot be held liable for lost items if there are unauthorized returns made.
