DETERMINATION OF RETURNS VS. DESTROY IN FIELD
Kingston Brass Inc. prefers to destroy certain damaged or defective goods, rather than return them. The objective of our Destroy in Field (DIF) policy is to reduce waste and avoid unnecessary costs for shipping unsalable goods back to us.
If an item is deemed as Destroy in Field, in order to be eligible for a refund the customer must provide us with a valid order number and send us DIF pictures via email:contact@kingstonbrass.com. We will need to be able to identify from your pictures that they are indeed Kingston Brass products we sell and not any counterfeits or other brands.
In some cases, regarding unusual defective claims we may want to analyze defects to improve product quality so an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) request may be preferred rather than to DIF.
INTERNATIONAL RETURNS
International Orders or Orders made from or shipping outside the USA are Non-Returnable. If product is defective or missing parts, Kingston Brass, Inc. will service under the Warranty period. See Warranty
