Green Iron Road Wear expends significant effort and cost to ensure orders are secure and properly packaged. However, GIRW will not be liable for packages that are mishandled, delayed, damaged, lost, stolen, delivered to the wrong address, or any other number of problems that can arise during shipping.
During the checkout processes, depending on the weight of the items ordered, GIRW provides customers with an opportunity to select their preferred shipping method: USPS First Class Mail with no shipping insurance, USPS Priority Mail with up to $50 insurance, USPS Priority Express Mail with up to $100 insurance, and USPS Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express with Full Order insurance (up to the full value of the order, excluding shipping).
Any packages that are mishandled, damaged, lost, stolen, delivered to the wrong address, or any other shipping problem are the responsibility of the customer to file and handle with the carrier. We regret this situation, but GIRW is not liable for problems incurred by the carrier, location, provided shipping address, weather, customs, country, the customer’s local laws, or etc.
Return Shipping:
In almost all cases all return and replacement shipping will be paid by the buyer. If Green Iron Road Wear covers or waives any shipping fee, it does so at its own discretion and such decisions do not affect other claims.
Please Note: ALL refunded amounts will NOT included the charged transaction fees by the selected payment method (Square, PayPal, or Amazon Pay). The refund processing is completely out of the hands of GIRW and will vary based upon Square, Paypal, Amazon Pay, and/or the customer’s banking/credit card company. It is advised to expect at least 2 to 7 business days for all the various institutions to complete their processing.
Returns\Refunds:
Returns or refunds may be available:
- If an item or order was mistakenly placed, but a shipping label has not yet been purchased, a full refund is possible, minus transaction fees.
- If an order has been shipped, but not yet picked up by the carrier, a full refund is possible, minus transaction fees, shipping fee, and possibly a 25% restocking fee. Shipping fee may be partially refunded if/when GIRW receives a refund from the carrier.
- If an order has been shipped AND picked up by the carrier, a partial refund is still possible once the item has been returned to GIRW (minus transaction fees, shipping fees, and up-to a 25% restocking fee). The buyer will be responsible for all return shipping charges.
- If the item received by the buyer has a serious defect in its construction that was not part of the original design or very negatively impacts the use/function of the item. The buyer will responsible to clearly provide sufficient proof. All hand made items may include very minor defects, which is normal and non-refundable.
- If GIRW overcharged, a refund may be offered.
Exchanges:
An exchange may also be available if the buyer purchased the wrong size of an item, though the buyer will be responsible for all additional shipping for the exchange. The exchanged item will not be shipped until the previous item is returned. The exchange will be declined and no refund issued if the returned item has been used/damaged by the buyer in any way.
No Returns/Refunds:
Returns are not accepted for the following:
- Custom commissions or if the buyer provided incorrect measurements or instructions. Minor adjustments may be available but further fees may need to be assessed.
- The defect was visible in store pictures.
- The item was sold at a discount due to known defects.
- The item was misused by the buyer.
- The item was damaged in shipping. The buyer will need to file a claim with the shipping agency, if the buyer purchased shipping insurance. See our Policy for Shipping, Insurance, Loss, Theft, & Claims for further details.
- The item shows signs of wear or use of any kind by the buyer.
Green Iron Road Wear is based out of Utah, U.S.A. and any shipment outside of the U.S.A. is considered “International”.
GIRW does not collect European Union (EU) Value Added Tax (VAT) during checkout. Customers will be responsible to pay their corresponding VAT upon delivery and any other processing fees. We apologize for any difficulties or delays incurred by this.
All international orders and shipping, is limited to countries that provide USPS Delivery Confirmation. An up-to-date list of those countries are found on USPS’s website. Our sincerest apologies if you live in a country not on this list. We hope we can expand this list soon.
Note: Due to how USPS handles shipping rates, the following are considered “domestic” when shipped via USPS:
United State (all 50 states), US District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands
At this time the following are the international countries that GIRW will sell and ship to:
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Republic of, Singapore, Slovak Republic (Slovakia), Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United States of America (and Minor Outlying Islands), and Vietnam.
Items listed on “Backorder” or “Available for Backorder” mean that we have all the supplies to make the item, but do not have the item currently completed and available for immediate shipment.
Shipping for an order containing a “backorderd” item will only be delayed by a few days (generally a week or less) and customers will not need to wait weeks or even months. Obviously, ordering a number of “backordered” items will increase the time to ship.
Green Iron Road Wear makes every effort to provide high quality, accurate workmanship. However, since all items are hand made and many are purposefully made with used, surplus, or old/worn materials, all items are sold “As-Is”.
Still, we at Green Iron Road Wear love our customers and want them to be satisfied with their purchase. Please Contact Us if you have any other questions or if you have a problem with any item or order.
