  • Special Orders not part of our standard stocked range
  • Batteries (loose or sealed)
  • Torsion Spring or spring kits
  • Control boards, light modules, and other electronic motor parts
  • Items that have been installed, modified, or damaged

These items are either safety-related, built-to-order, or cannot be resold.

Damaged or Defective Items

If your item arrives damaged or faulty, please contact us immediately.  We may request:

  • Photos or videos of the issue
  • A description of the problem
  • Return of the item for warranty assessment

If the item is deemed defective under manufacturer’s warranty, we’ll offer a replacement, repair, or refund depending on the product and the manufacturer’s policy.  Return postage may be reimbursed in genuine manufacturer warranty cases.
