Returns Policy / Procedure

OVERVIEW

Bernardi Parts wants you to be happy with your purchase. However, if you need to return an item, please have the peace of mind of Bernardi Parts's Free Returns and 60 Day Return Policy.

Free Returns are offered on most orders shipped within the Continental United States for non-oversized items. A return label will be provided to you by email, free of charge, once an RMA has been approved.

All returns must be "Eligible" 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.

Returns are subject to a 15% restocking fee.

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.
