Returns Policy / Procedure

OVERVIEW

It is our responsibility to ship all items to you in new, undamaged condition. If you fail to receive an ordered item or it is received in damaged condition, it is our responsibility to work with our shipping partner to resolve the problem in a customer-friendly fashion.

It is your responsibility to inspect items shipped to you by Bernardi Parts upon receipt and to notify us in a timely fashion, using the “Request Authorization” process outlined below, of missing, damaged, or incorrectly shipped items.

All returns must be "Eligabile" for return, as outlined below, must be approved for return by Bernardi Parts using the "Request Authorization" procedure, and must be packaged with the Request Authorization email sent to you. If you return an item that is not eligible for a refund, we will notify you and give you the option of having it returned to you.

RETURN ELIGIBILTY

Items are NOT eligible for a return for replacement or refund if they are:

An electrical/electronic component, HAZMAT, Chemical, Fluid, or non-rented tool.
Are not in brand new, undamaged, clean, uninstalled, and resalable condition
Are missing any components, attaching hardware, and/or documentation
Are not in their original packaging

INELIGIBLE items may not be returned for credit or replacement because we cannot guarantee to the next buyer that they have not been used. They will, however, be replaced if they have a manufacturing defect.

Items that are eligible for return must be approved using the "Request Authorization" procedure outlined below.

If you return an item that is not eligible for a refund, we will notify you and give you the option of having it returned to you.
