We will email you an RMA form to be completed and returned to us. Once your RMA request form is approved we will issue you an RMA number.

All returned items must be in new, unused and unopened condition and contain all of the original parts, be shrink wrapped and any protective seals or components that were included as part of the original shipment must be in their original sealed and intact condition.

It is the customer’s responsibility to check for any damage upon the arrival of their package and the customer must notify Outback Water of any damage within 72 hours of delivery. Outback Water will not be liable for damaged packages if notification is not made within 72 hours of delivery. If damage occurs during transit and the damage appears to be the result of poor handling by the carrier it will be the customer’s responsibility to initiate a damage claim with the carrier.

Refunds will not be issued on any product that was damaged during installation - whether due to incorrect installation or mistreatment.

We do not refund shipping on returned items. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, FOB Eugene, OR 97405, unless the item returned is deemed defective or the item received and returned was not ordered.   We encourage that any returns be shipped using a method or carrier who provides tracking information. If any return shipment is damaged we will be unable to offer a refund as the cost of the damage becomes the responsibility of the customer and/or the carrier. It is important to package all returns carefully to avoid any damages in transit.

If a return is requested after the 30 day grace period we will be unable to offer a refund or assign an RMA number authorizing that return.

If an address is provided that proves to be incorrect or undeliverable address, and the shipment is returned to Outback Water marked as such, the customer will be contacted to provide an accurate address.   The customer will be responsible for any costs to reship the order. The shipping charges applied will be the actual cost to reship the order, any discount or special shipping offers will not apply.
