Defective Return

date of the original invoice.

billed up front. We then issue an RMA and provide you with a free return
shipping label for the defective item. We issue credit for the defective
part once it is received into our facility.
-
Manufacturers require the model and serial number of the product the
defect was installed in, as well as the exact nature of the defect in
detail.
Damaged Parts
Please be sure to inspect your order upon receipt. If the package appears
damaged, or contains merchandise that is damaged, you must first notify the
shipper and then notify Encompass within five business days of receipt via our
website:here. The incident will be documented, and the carrier may decide to
return the delivery to Encompass. Without the incident documentation,
subsequent damage claims may be difficult or impossible to prove later.
Wrong Parts
-
Customers must notify Encompass within five business days of receipt of
any part that is shipped in error or short shipped by completing a return
request form on our website: here. Select "Warranty / Replacement" as the return reason and provide an
explanation of the issue in the comment box provided.

International Returns
Because shipping outside the U.S. can be very expensive due to carrier costs,
duties and customs fees, Encompass maintains the following returns policies:
-
Encompass does not pay the shipping costs for any parts returned to us
from outside the U.S. for any reason. Customers are responsible for all
shipping, duties and customs fees for any replacement parts, as well.
-
If the part has core value, the defective part being replaced must be
returned to Encompass at the customer’s expense.
We apologize for any inconvenience and generally encourage international
customers to seek more cost-effective parts elsewhere.
Lost Packages
If your order does not arrive when expected, please first check the carrier
tracking to confirm the package was not left at your address. Unless you
required the carrier to obtain a signature upon delivery, Encompass is not
responsible for packages once the carrier verifies delivery. Once the carrier
confirms the package was lost in transit, we will issue credit.
Core Returns
All core returns must meet the following guidelines for credit
consideration. Cores failing to meet these requirements will not be
eligible for credit and cannot be returned:
-
Cores returned within 90 days from the original invoice date will
receive full credit.
-
Cores returned within 91-120 days of the invoice date will be charged a
50% restocking fee.
-
No cores received after 121 days from the invoice date will be credited.
-
All cores must be returned in the manufacturer's original box or
container in which the new product was delivered. Cores returned in
non-standard packaging will not be accepted.

Core credit will only be issued for the exact number of units purchased,
based on the quantity sold on the original invoice. Core credit will not
exceed the original core value charged.
-
Cores must be in good condition. Cores that are cracked, burnt or
missing components will not be accepted for credit and will be returned
to customers at their expense.
-
Core credit will not be issued if the core is not returned to Encompass.
