Refund Policy

Refund Policy

At LodgeCastIronSale, we strive to ensure your satisfaction with every purchase. This Refund Policy outlines the terms, eligibility, process, and timeline for refunds, aligning with our 60-day return policy and global service standards. All refunds are processed in United States Dollars (USD), the sole currency for transactions on our website.

1. Refund Eligibility

To be eligible for a refund, the following conditions must be met:
  • The return request is initiated within60 days from the date of delivery of your order.
  • The item(s) are returned in their original, unused condition, with intact original packaging, tags, and all accessories included.
  • A valid Return Authorization (RA) number, provided by our customer service team, is included with the returned shipment.
  • The item(s) are not custom or personalized (unless defective or incorrectly shipped by us).
Refunds will not be issued for items that are damaged due to improper use, negligence, or modification by the customer after delivery.

2. Refund Process

Follow these steps to initiate and process a refund:
  1. Request a Return Authorization (RA): Contact our customer service team at [email protected] with your order number, the reason for the return, and photos of the item (if applicable, e.g., defective items). We will issue an RA number and detailed return instructions within 24 business hours.
  2. Ship the Item(s) Back: Package the item(s) securely in the original packaging (or equivalent protective packaging) and include the RA number on the outer label. You are responsible for covering return shipping costs, unless the item is defective, damaged, or incorrectly shipped by us (we will reimburse return shipping costs for these cases).
  3. Inspection of Returned Items: Once we receive your returned shipment, our team will inspect the item(s) within 3-5 business days to verify eligibility (condition, packaging, compliance with return terms).
  4. Refund Approval & Processing: If the return is approved, we will process the refund immediately. You will receive an email notification once the refund has been initiated.

3. Refund Timeline & Method

  • Processing Time: Refunds are processed within 3-5 business days of us receiving and approving the returned item. After processing, the refund will take 5-10 business days to reflect in your original payment method.
  • Refund Method: Refunds are issued to the same payment method used for the original purchase (e.g., credit card, debit card). We do not offer refunds via cash, check, or store credit unless explicitly agreed upon for special cases.
  • Currency: All refunds are processed in USD, consistent with the original transaction currency. Exchange rates and any fees charged by your financial institution or payment provider are the customer’s responsibility.

4. Special Refund Scenarios

4.1 Defective, Damaged, or Incorrect Items

If you receive a defective, damaged, or incorrect item, contact us within 7 days of delivery. Provide your order number and clear photos of the issue. We will cover all return shipping costs, and upon inspection, issue a full refund or arrange a replacement (at your option). Refunds for these cases follow the same 5-10 day post-processing timeline.

4.2 Order Cancellations

Orders canceled within 12 hours of placement (before processing and shipping) will receive a full refund. We process these refunds immediately, and they typically reflect in your account within 5-10 business days. Orders canceled after 12 hours may have already been shipped, requiring you to follow the standard return and refund process.

4.3 Undelivered Orders

If your order does not arrive within the estimated 5-day delivery window and tracking shows no progress for 3 or more days, contact us to investigate. If the order is confirmed lost by the shipping carrier, we will issue a full refund or reship the item (at your option). Refunds for lost orders are processed within 3-5 business days of confirmation.

5. Non-Refundable Items & Exceptions

The following are not eligible for refunds:
  • Items returned without a valid RA number.
  • Items returned after the 60-day window has expired.
  • Items that are used, damaged, or missing parts/accessories due to customer negligence.
  • Custom or personalized items (unless defective).
We reserve the right to deny a refund if the returned item does not meet eligibility criteria, and we will notify you of the decision via email.
