Return Policy


Returns and Warranties

Return Policy
If you are not satisfied with a product, contact us within 30 days of receipt. A refund may be arranged excluding freight charges upon inspection. Returned merchandise must be shipped in original packaging, freight prepaid, unused, and in resalable condition, and is subject to a 15-25% restocking fee (depends upon manufacturer). Dock Ladders Depot inspects all returns and reserves the right to refuse credits on damaged, misused or non-resalable items. Your only obligation is the freight charge and stocking fee where applicable, provided your return is complete with original packaging, all documentation, warranty cards, cables etc. Dock Ladders Depot reserves the right to authorize product returns after 30 days have passed from the invoice date. If the product is accepted after this period, it is subject to a 15% restocking fee and credit will be issued toward future purchases only.

If you receive an item that has been damaged in shipping or has a manufacturing defect.  Please let us know immediately by email (within 30 days).  If you can take pictures that will help us in shipping damage claims.  For product defects we will reship a new product at our expense and typically call tag the damaged product back for inspection.  For items damaged in shipping we will ship a new product at our expense and call tag the damaged item for inspection (or the shipping carrier will come get it - as it will be part of our damage claim with the carrier).  With shipping damage please notate this damage with the driver and then take pictures.  We must have visual evidence of this damage in order to make a damage claim with the carrier.  If damage is readily visible and evident upon delivery either notate it in writing (on the shipping slip) with the driver or refuse the delivery outright.

Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable for all returns. The customer may also be responsible for return shipping charges, insurance and shipment tracking for returned merchandise. For certain returns, UPS Shipping Labels are provided. Please note that while shipping labels may be issued for your convenience, return shipping charges may be incurred depending on the reason(s) for return. If you require an estimate of these return shipping costs, please call Customer Service at (800) 497-5912.
