Shipping & Returns

Shipping & Returns

Everything you need to know about how we ship your order and how to return an item, should you ever need to.

Shipping
  • We can ship to virtually any address worldwide. Some products carry shipping restrictions, and certain items cannot be shipped to international destinations.
  • Unless otherwise noted, all shipments are FOB Shipping Point.
  • Shipping rates for many items are weight-based. Item weights are rounded up to the next full pound, consistent with our carriers' policies.
Returns Policy

You can return most new, unused items in their original packaging within 30 days of the invoice date for a refund, though returns may be subject to a restocking fee. We will also cover return shipping costs if the return is the result of our error — for example, if you received an incorrect or defective item.

Please note: even if a return is made within the 30-day window from your invoice date, it may still be subject to a 25% restocking fee. This applies to returns that are not the result of our error. Custom-built, special-order, cut-to-length, and manufacturer-non-returnable items are not eligible for return at any time. See the fee schedule below for full details.

Refund timeline

Refunds are typically issued within four weeks of the date you give your package to the return shipper. This period covers:

5–10 days Transit time for your return to reach us
3–5 days Processing time once we receive your return
5–10 days Time for your bank to process the refund

RMA required for all returns

All returns require prior written approval and a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number issued by Flow Dynamics & Automation, Inc. If you need to return an item, please contact us with your order number and details about the product you would like to return, and we will respond promptly with instructions. Returned products must be unused, in original condition and packaging, and shipped freight prepaid to the location we designate.

Restocking fee schedule

Return reason Condition required Restocking fee
Our error (incorrect or defective item) Any condition None — we cover return shipping too
Change of mind, within 30 days of invoice date Unused, original condition and packaging May still apply, up to 25%
