General Return Policy
Unless otherwise stated, Albany Distributing accepts returns within 30 days of the invoice date. All returns require an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number, which is valid for 30 days of issue date and can be obtained by emailing returns@albanydistributing.com. RMA numbers must be displayed clearly on the outside of the shipping box.

Do not write on or mark the product box itself or use the product box as a shipping box as doing so is considered defacing the product rendering it unsellable and the return will be refused.

Returns received without a valid RMA number risk being refused, or if accepted, will incur a 20% restocking fee. After the 30 day return period, the customer must contact the product manufacturer for warranty replacement and/or repair.

All returns must be in original packaging and include all accessories from the original shipment (i.e. manuals, warranties, security seals, etc.). Incomplete returns risk being refused, or if accepted, will incur a 50% restocking fee.

All returned products are inspected and can take 3 to 5 business days to be processed and refunded. A refund confirmation will be sent to the customer via email.
