Return Shipping

A customer is responsible for all return shipping charges, unless Pedia Pals determines that the item is defective. In that case, the item will be returned at Pedia Pals’ expense.

Defective Items

In the event that an item is damaged, our hope is to minimize any delay in resolving your damage or shortage claim. A customer is required to count all receipts prior to a customer’s acceptance of delivery from the carrier. All visible damages or shortages must be noted on the carrier’s freight bill or bill of lading and be countersigned by the customer. The damaged products must remain in the original carton, in the event inspection is required by the transportation company. If the damage to a product in not visible from the outside of the packaging, it is the customer’s responsibility to inspect and report any damage within 48 hours of receipt. We encourage our customers to inspect their packages inside and out upon receipt.

All defective items must be confirmed defective with our factory. Please report any defective item within 48 hours or Pedia Pals shall have no obligation to process credit or arrange for product replacement. If a product is found defective, Pedia Pals will promptly exchange and/or issue an RGA number for the return of the defective product at Pedia Pals’ expense. Pedia Pals reserves the right to ask for pictures of the damaged product. A product must be returned within 30 days of receipt of shipment to be eligible for replacement or credit.
