Tool-Pallets Returns Policy: All Sales Final on Liquidation Pallets

Tool-Pallets does not accept returns, exchanges, refunds, or store credits on any liquidation pallets, overstock lots, or customer return truckloads. All sales are strictly final. By completing a purchase on the Tool-Pallets platform, buyers explicitly agree to the wholesale market conditions outlined below.

1. No Returns — All Sales Are Final (As-Is, Where-Is)

Tool-Pallets sells all inventory on an “As-Is, Where-Is” basis. This means every item is sold in its current condition, with no guarantee of full functionality or completeness. Inventory is sourced directly from retail customer returns, shelf pulls, and closeouts — conditions that are inherent to the liquidation market.

Key terms buyers agree to at purchase:

• As-Is Condition: All inventory reflects its current state at the time of sale. No pre-sale reconditioning is performed.
• Functional Variance: Liquidation lots may include items that are non-functional, incomplete, damaged, or missing original accessories.
• No Retail Guarantees: Condition labels — New, Like New, Refurbished, Used, or Mixed — reflect general batch sorting only. These labels do not constitute an item-by-item operational guarantee.

2. Permitted Exceptions and Claims Processing

Tool-Pallets does not offer standard returns, but will review and resolve transaction claims exclusively under two specific conditions.

2a. Severe Freight Damage (FOB Shipping Point)

All Tool-Pallets shipments are sold FOB Shipping Point, meaning risk of loss transfers to the buyer upon loading at the Tool-Pallets dock. If a carrier inflicts catastrophic damage during transit, the following steps apply:

1. Document the Damage: Record all visible structural damage on the carrier’s delivery receipt before signing. Buyers retain the right to refuse delivery if destruction is total.
2. Photograph Everything: Capture high-resolution, unedited photos of the pallet wrapping, structural damage, and all affected items immediately upon arrival.
3. Submit Within 48 Hours: Email the claim to sales@tool-pallets.com within 48 hours of delivery. Claims submitted after this window cannot be processed.

2b. Material Manifest Discrepancies

Manifests are approximate estimations compiled during bulk sorting. Minor variances in item counts, model numbers, or accessory inclusions are normal and expected in liquidation purchasing.

A claim is only eligible if a material discrepancy occurs — for example, an incorrect product category being shipped, or a short-count exceeding 15% of total load value.

Requirements before submitting a manifest claim:

• Do not sell, alter, or distribute any items until the claim is fully processed
• Document the full load with photos
• Submit the claim within 48 hours of delivery

3. How Are Approved Claims Resolved?

If a freight or manifest claim is reviewed and approved, Tool-Pallets may offer one of the following resolutions, proportional to the verified issue:

• Partial Refund or Store Credit — Issued in proportion to the verified discrepancy
• Replacement Inventory — Offered when comparable stock is available
• Full Refund — Issued only in cases of internal fulfillment error or if a shipment is undeliverable

4. How to File a Verified Claim

To initiate a claim review with Tool-Pallets, follow these steps:

1. Timeframe: Email sales@tool-pallets.com within 48 hours of delivery
2. Subject Line Format: Claim — [Freight / Manifest] — Order #[Order Number]
3. Required Evidence: Submit unedited photos of the pallet, any damage, and the signed delivery receipt
4. Review Time: Allow up to 3 business days for a response
