What do I do if I receive defective merchandise?

If you receive defective merchandise, go to our Online RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization), fill out the form and submit the information.   You may also choose to print out an RMA form, fill it out and fax it to us.   Be sure to include the Invoice number the merchandise was purchased on and a description of the problem.   Items should be returned to Trenton Distributors freight prepaid.   Trenton Distributors will pay for return shipment of replacement product.   Thoroughly test any item which you suspect to be defective.  A fee may be charged for any item which is returned as defective and subsequently found to be non-defective by Trenton Distributors technicians.   Freight charges for the non-defective product will be the responsibility of the customer.

What do I do if I receive damaged merchandise?

Check the package carefully at the point of receiving.   If you see damage at the point of receiving make a claim immediately with the courier driver.   Contact Trenton Distributors also to report the claim.   If you discover damage to the product after you have already accepted and signed for the shipment, contact Trenton Distributors immediately. (Important note: Do not ship the product back to us at this time!   Doing so will void any damage claim with the carrier).   Trenton Distributors will contact the carrier and arrange to have a carrier inspector come to your premises and visually inspect the package for damage.   If the carrier approves the claim, Trenton Distributors will then send you replacement product and the carrier will pick up the damaged product for return to Trenton Distributors.

You are responsible for the shipping charges from and back to Trenton Distributors if delivery was unsuccessful for the following reasons:

  1. No one was present at the shipping location to accept delivery after 3 attempts.
  2. Shipment was refused.

If I give you my email address, will I get SPAM?

Absolutely NOT! We will use your email address only to ask a question regarding an order we are processing for you or confirm details of your shipment.   We also may use your email address to offer you specials from time to time and to keep you informed about the status of your account.   We pledge to keep all your personal information private and will never sell your email address or offer it in any way to any outside company or agency.
