Return Policy
Eligible Return Items
Regular Stock Items
Gulf Coast Supply
& Manufacturing, LLC (“Gulf Coast Supply”, “we,” “our,” “us”) reserves the
right to refuse any return made after 30 days of purchase.
For Gulf Coast Supply
account holders returning a product within 15 days of purchase, we will make
every effort to look up your receipt for you. If this is possible, the same
policy applies as if you had the original invoice. If we are unable to look up
or find the invoice, the return may be refused. Refunds will only be given to
the individual who originally paid for the material.
Most of the items we
offer are “regular stock” items. Regular stock items may be returned without
restriction (subject to the conditions below) but will incur a restocking fee.
Regular stock items
are either items that we keep in regular stock at one of our manufacturing
facilities, or items that are kept in regular stock by one of our suppliers.
Customized Items
Some of the items we
sell are custom made, or made-to-order. Examples would include trim and or cut
to length panels. When selling a customized item, we make it clear to you that
the items you are buying may not be returned for any reason.
There is an important
exception to this: if Gulf Coast Supply made a mistake when ordering your
merchandise, and it turns out not to be appropriate for your use, we will do
what it takes to rectify the situation. Note that certain details apply to our
policy regarding custom orders. We will review these in detail with you as we
go through the ordering process.
Gift Cards
Gulf Coast Supply gift
cards are non-returnable and cannot be redeemed or exchanged for cash (unless
required by law), check or credit.
Return Authorization
If you would like to
return your merchandise back to us via Gulf Coast Supply delivery truck, United
Parcel Service (“UPS”), or customer drop off at one of our manufacturing
facilities, please contact a customer sales representative first and obtain a
Returnable Material Authorization form.
A Returnable Material
Authorization (RMA) form consists of three things:
- An RMA number
- Manager signature approval of
return items
- A UPS shipping label, delivery
truck or pick up date
- A set of easy-to-follow
instructions
We will deliver these
things to you via e-mail. Once you have your RMA number, shipping label, and
instructions you can simply box up your merchandise and send it back to us,
secure in the knowledge that as soon as we receive it, we will promptly process
your return and issue you the appropriate refund.
To arrange for an RMA
simply contact one of sales representatives. Be sure to include your invoice
number and your name (either personal or business name – whichever you used for
your original order). You may also call us at 1-(352)-498-0778. We will deal
with your request promptly, and quickly send you the necessary documents and
instructions quickly.
Shipping Charges
Shipping charges or
fees do not apply when you return your eligible items in person at one of our
manufacturing facilities.
However, if you ship
your return merchandise back to us by UPS, you are responsible for the cost of
that shipment. If we send you a UPS shipping label, you will be responsible for
the UPS charges. Once the product arrives, we will deduct the cost of the
shipment from the amount of your final refund.
Shipping charges or
fees will apply when you return your eligible items via one of our delivery
trucks, for example, if Gulf Coast supply has to send a delivery truck to your
site to pick up the return items. (See Returns Methods below).
If items are to be
returned by the customer at the time of delivery, meaning the Gulf Coast Supply
delivery truck is still on site, the delivery driver will initiate a “Returns
form” with the necessary related information and then review with the customer.
The customer will then sign the Returns Form in accuracy acknowledgement.
Please note that a review of the returned items once at the facility will
verify if the returned items are eligible items and if a credit is warranted or
not.
Please note that the
original shipping charges incurred on your purchase are not refundable as part
of your return or exchange.
Exceptions
We will not charge you
for return shipping if the reason for the return is:
- Due to an error on our part
- Because the merchandise is
defective, or is missing parts/pieces
Return Methods
We strive to make our
return process easy and efficient. You have several easy ways to return your
merchandise to us:
In-Store Return
You can return your
merchandise to any of the Gulf Coast supply manufacturing locations. Simply
bring your merchandise back to a location near you.
If you bring your receipt,
it will make the return process faster, but don’t’ worry if you don’t have your
receipt. As long as you bought the merchandise from one of our sales
representatives we will have a record of your purchase, and will be able to
look it up at the return facility.
If you paid by credit card,
be sure to bring the same card with you for the return/credit.
Pickup by Gulf Coast
Supply Delivery Truck (After original delivery)
If you have eligible
return items, and it’s within a close location of one of our delivery truck
scheduled routes for that day, you can contact us and arrange for a Gulf Coast
Supply truck to swing by and pick up your material. A 25% pick-up fee plus any
active fuel charges apply for all pick-ups
To schedule a pick-up
of eligible return items please contact us by phone so that one of our sales
representatives can nail down all the necessary details with you. Call the
location near you to make the arrangements.
Other Arrangements
If none of the methods
above work for you, we can help to make other arrangements. Just contact one of
our sales representatives and we’ll work things out.
How Long Will It Take
We strive to process
returns as quickly as possible. Typically, we will process a return and issue a
refund within 3-5 business days after we receive it.
Returns that arrive
with proper paperwork and in good condition will see the shortest processing
time.
Remember to allow for
time in transit when estimating how long the whole process will take.
Returning Your Money
Your refund will be
issued to the original form of payment you used to make your purchase.
- Credit Card – We will apply
your refund to the same card that you used to purchase the merchandise.
- Gulf Coast Supply Contractor
Accounts – Credit will be applied to your account as soon as your
merchandise is inspected and processed.
