To Return Merchandise

To return an item, complete the following steps:

1. Send us an email to request a Return Merchandise Authorization number (RMA#). Be sure to include your name, date of purchase, and original order number in the request. Omitting any information will only delay resolving your issue, so please double check your email for completeness before sending it to us. All returns must have an RMA number, or they will not be processed. GIA Hardware is not responsible for items returned without an RMA#. If you are requesting a refund, you must send your product back with an RMA# issued by GIA Hardware.


2. Re-package the item(s) securely with proper inner packaging in a strong corrugated box, affix the shipping label with our return address, and write the RMA# clearly on the shipping label only. DO NOT WRITE or mark the RMA# on the product itself or the product's packaging or box.


3. Make sure you receive a tracking number for the package, and email the tracking number to us. You may want to consider insuring the package against loss or damage. GIA Hardware cannot be held liable for any loss or damage to return shipments. We strongly encourage you to use UPS (insured) or FedEx (insured) to send your merchandise back to us.


4. You MUST ship your item within 7 (seven) days from the issue date of the RMA.
