Most frequent questions and answers
To request a refund, we must receive notice of defect or damage, or incorrectly shipped items within 30 days of receipt of the product.
For a refund, provide the following information:
- Invoice number
- Description of the damage/defect/missing items
- Your contact information and account number (if applicable)
- Photos of the damaged items and their packing materials sent to customerservice@swansoninc.com
If a product was damaged by shipping, we need photos of the damaged product and the box it came in before a credit can be issued. Please send photos to customersevice@swansoninc.com
Once photos of the damaged/defective products have been received, a credit can be issued. In the event of a returned item, you may receive a credit/refund, if the item is in resale condition.
We do have a restocking fee that may be applied unless you choose to pay shipping to return the item.
In certain cases, we will supply a return label as needed.
If the item is returned in resale condition, you may receive a credit/refund. You may be charged a restocking fee unless you choose to pay shipping to return the item.
