Additional Notes
Since we have found that some people will not return the merchandise once they have received their replacements, we have to had to institute the policy that replacement items will not be shipped, or refunds/credits will not be made, until the products being returned are received by us. If you request a replacement, we will ship your replacement after we receive and process your returned product. If you need a replacement right away, we suggest you request a bill/credit (rather than a replacement), when you obtain your RMA. Then place a new order. The new order will be shipped (and billed) as soon as we have the product available and your credit will be applied once we receive the product being returned.
