    Large Item Return Policy (defective, damaged, etc.)
    Due to the expense of shipping heavy items, large items are subject to additional terms.
    Be sure to carefully inspect all Heavy Item (freight) deliveries for damage before signing the bill of lading as freight handling charges cannot be refunded. If item(s) arrive damaged or defective, you must note this on the shipping receipt and refuse delivery to avoid paying return freight charges. If this is not done, you will be responsible for return freight charges back to us or the manufacturer. Please notify us of any delivery problems as soon as possible to expedite the refund process.
    In situations where a damaged product can be repaired by either a factory-technician or end-user, RuralKing.com may opt to provide replacement parts and/or a service technician instead of returning the whole item.

    FIREARMS CANNOT BE RETURNED AFTER THE TRANSFER PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. It is your responsibility to thoroughly inspect the firearm BEFORE completing the transfer.

    Merchandise that has been visibly used or worn
    Orders "Refused" without authorization
    Returns that were shipped back after 30 days of the date received (Note: unless authorized, late returns will be rejected)
    Any return that is not the result of defective/damaged merchandise or a shipping error
    Important Note: Some items that are shipped directly from the manufacturer are subject to a restocking fee regardless of their condition.
