Lost or Damaged Freight: Rae Crowther products leave the factory in perfect condition. When your equipment is shipped, you are sent important shipping instructions. We try to use the fastest and most reliable freight carriers. Once the equipment leaves our factory, the shipment is out of our control. If equipment is delivered short or damaged, it is the responsibility of the delivering carrier to pay any claims. It’s very important that the person signing for the delivery writes the words ‘Short’ or ‘Damaged’ directly on the delivering carrier’s ticket. Make a copy of the ticket immediately. We will help you file any claims that are necessary against the freight company. When damages or shortages occur, we are at the mercy and speed of the freight company. Usually the process takes 90 days or more to be reimbursed by a freight carrier.

Concealed Damage: If a product is found to be damaged after being removed from its box, please notify Rae Crowther Co. and the delivering carrier immediately. Ask the carrier to fill out a concealed damage report. Usually this must be done within a week of the delivery.

Cancelled Order Policy: A 15% restocking fee will apply to cancelled orders. Customer responsible for paying all freight charges.

Non-Warranty Return Policy: Before returning any equipment, call the factory first and describe the problem. We will be glad to try to help or make appropriate amends to solve the problem. We do not ship equipment for loan or a trial basis. If there is an early cancellation date for your order, we need to know that before accepting the order.

Warranty Return Policy: Please call to make sure the equipment in question is under warranty, and, if so, you will be given a return authorization number. If the piece of equipment is under warranty, you must ship the prod- uct pre-paid. Rae Crowther Co. will inspect the product upon arrival. If the product is defective, Rae Crowther Co. will fix or replace the item and ship it back to the customer at no charge.
