Please contact your local CES store to make return arrangements. When you make your return, you’ll need to note credit or exchange. Returned items must be in the original packaging and receive prior Return Authorization (“RA”) from CES.
CES will pay the freight for products you return if the total return value is more than $75; provided, the return must be approved with a RA and meet all other conditions of CES’s return policy. Certain exclusions may apply. Regardless of the total value, you will be responsible for paying the return shipping for any returnable products that have a packaged length of over 4 feet (for example, pipe products).
