Return Policy
Returns
We accept returns within 30 days of purchase. After 30 days, we are unable to offer a refund or exchange.
Before returning any item, you must contact us for return authorization by email at info@whitewateroutfitters.com, or by phone at 631-594-3336. Returns sent without authorization may be refused.
To be eligible for a return, items must be:
-
Unused
-
In new, resalable condition
-
Returned in original packaging
Returns showing signs of use, wear, installation, or damage may be rejected. If original packaging is damaged or missing, a restocking fee may apply. We reserve the right to refuse any return that does not meet these conditions.
Special orders, custom-built products, and select items may be non-returnable or subject to a restocking fee. Please inquire before purchasing if you are unsure.
A receipt or proof of purchase is required for all returns.
Please do not return items directly to the manufacturer unless we specifically instruct you to do so.
Refunds
Once your return is received and inspected, we will notify you by email of its approval or rejection.
Original outbound shipping costs are non-refundable. Approved refunds will be issued for the returned item only, minus the original shipping cost paid by us as the seller.
If approved, refunds are processed to the original method of payment within 2–3 business days after inspection.
Order Errors & Damaged Items
If you receive an item that is incorrect, damaged, or missing due to an error on our part, please contact us within 5 business days of delivery.
Once the issue is confirmed, we will provide a prepaid return shipping label and arrange for a replacement or refund at no additional cost to you.
Items returned due to customer error, preference changes, or incorrect orders placed by the customer are subject to our standard return and shipping policies.
Returned to Sender (RTS) Packages
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address at checkout.
If a package is returned to us due to an insufficient or undeliverable address, the customer will be responsible for the cost of the return shipping. This amount will be deducted from the refund total.
Sale Items
Items purchased on sale will be refunded at the lowest sale price applied to that item, even if the sale has ended at the time of return.
Exchanges
Exchanges are accepted in accordance with this return policy.
All shipping costs associated with exchanges are the responsibility of the purchaser, including outbound shipping for the replacement item. Outbound exchange shipping will be invoiced separately and must be paid before the replacement item ships.
