Return Policy
Our commitment to a fair and straightforward returns experience
1. Overview
At Crimson Parts, we stand behind every order we fulfill. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, we are here to help. This Return Policy outlines the conditions under which returns, exchanges, and refunds are accepted, and the process you must follow to initiate a return.
Please read this policy carefully before initiating a return request. All return requests are subject to review and approval by our customer support team.
2. Return Window
Return requests must be initiated within 30 calendar days from the date of delivery as confirmed by the carrier's tracking record. Requests submitted after this period will not be accepted, except in cases of latent defects discovered within a reasonable timeframe, which will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
For RFQ-sourced, special-order, or custom-procured items, the return window may be reduced or waived entirely. This will be clearly communicated at the time of quotation or order confirmation.
3. Return Eligibility
To qualify for a return, items must meet the conditions outlined below. Please review carefully before initiating a request.
✔ Eligible for Return
- Item received in wrong quantity or specification
- Item damaged or defective upon arrival
- Item does not match the confirmed order description
- Unused item in original, sealed manufacturer packaging
- Item with all original labels, tags, and documentation intact
- Incorrect item shipped by Crimson Parts
✘ Not Eligible for Return
- Items installed, used, or altered in any way
- Items with removed, damaged, or missing serial number labels
- Special-order or custom-sourced items (unless defective)
- Items returned without prior Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA)
- Items damaged due to improper installation or misuse
- Clearance or final-sale items marked non-returnable
4. How to Initiate a Return (RMA Process)
All returns must be pre-authorized. We do not accept unsolicited return shipments. Please follow the steps below:
Email us at info@crimsonparts.com with your order number, the item(s) you wish to return, and the reason for the return. Include photographs if the item is damaged or defective.
Our team will review your request within 2–3 business days and, if approved, issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number along with return shipping instructions.
Securely repack the item in its original packaging. Clearly write or print the RMA number on the outside of the package. Ship the item using a trackable carrier. Returns sent without an RMA number will be refused and returned to the sender.
Upon receipt, our team will inspect the returned item within 3–5 business days. You will be notified of the outcome — refund, exchange, or store credit — via email.
📋 Keep Your RMA Number: Your RMA number is required for all return-related correspondence. Returns received without a valid RMA number will not be processed and will be returned at the sender's expense.
5. Return Shipping Costs
Who bears the cost of return shipping depends on the reason for the return:
- Defective, Damaged, or Incorrect Item: Crimson Parts will provide a prepaid return shipping label at no cost to you.
- Change of Mind or Buyer's Error: The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs. We recommend using a trackable and insured shipping service, as Crimson Parts is not liable for items lost or damaged in return transit.
- Freight / Oversized Returns: Return freight charges will be assessed individually and communicated prior to authorization. A restocking fee may apply.
6. Refunds
Once a returned item has been inspected and approved, refunds will be processed as follows:
- Refunds are issued to the original payment method used at the time of purchase.
- Please allow 5–10 business days for the refund to appear in your account after approval, depending on your bank or payment provider.
- Original shipping charges are non-refundable unless the return is due to an error on our part (wrong item shipped, item damaged in transit, etc.).
- A restocking fee of up to 20% may be applied to returns initiated for reasons other than defect or fulfillment error, at Crimson Parts' sole discretion.
7. Exchanges
If you would prefer an exchange rather than a refund, please indicate this in your return request. Exchanges are subject to product availability. If the requested replacement item is unavailable, a full refund will be issued instead.
Exchanges follow the same RMA process as standard returns. Additional shipping charges may apply for exchanged items depending on the destination and selected shipping method.
8. Damaged or Defective Items
If your order arrives visibly damaged or the item is found to be defective upon inspection, please take the following steps immediately:
- Do not install or attempt to use the item.
- Photograph the outer packaging and the item itself before opening further.
- Notify us within 48 hours of delivery by emailing info@crimsonparts.com with your order number and supporting photos.
- We will arrange a prepaid return label and either ship a replacement or issue a full refund upon return inspection.
Claims for damaged or defective items submitted after 48 hours of delivery may still be considered but are not guaranteed, and will be evaluated at Crimson Parts' discretion.
9. Non-Returnable Items
The following categories of items are strictly non-returnable and non-refundable, regardless of condition, unless the item is confirmed defective or incorrectly supplied by Crimson Parts:
- Special-order, custom-sourced, or made-to-order components.
- Items explicitly marked as "Final Sale" or "Non-Returnable" on the product listing or order confirmation.
- Software, firmware, or electronically licensed products once activated or downloaded.
- Items that have been installed, wired, programmed, or otherwise put into service.
- Consumable items such as fuses, filters, lubricants, or wear parts that have been opened or partially used.
⚠ Restocking Fee Notice: Returns initiated for reasons other than defect or Crimson Parts' fulfillment error may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 20% of the item's purchase price. This fee will be deducted from the refund amount. You will be informed of any applicable fees before the return is finalized.
10. Warranty Claims
Some products sold by Crimson Parts may carry a manufacturer's warranty. Warranty terms, duration, and coverage are determined solely by the original manufacturer and are separate from this Return Policy.
For warranty-related issues beyond our 30-day return window, we recommend contacting the manufacturer directly. Crimson Parts will assist where possible in facilitating warranty claims, but cannot guarantee outcomes on behalf of third-party manufacturers.
