RETURN GOODS POLICY
Return Goods Policy Effective August 1, 2005 of normal stocked items.
Items needing to be returned should be brought back to the store if they were purchased in person, or if we delivered it, we will pick it up when we return to your area. You will need to call 815-625-4375 and press “0” to get an RMA Number to process your return. Once we give you the RMA Number, you will need to write it down on 8 ½ x 11 sheet of paper and keep it with your product to be given to the SBM representative who will be picking up the merchandise. We will handle the returned merchandise provided we have been properly notified and have agreed to accept the returns based on the below listed policy. SBM wants to cooperate with you wherever possible, solicit your help in minimizing the return problem, and suggest your double checking any order for items not regularly stocked by SBM. Mistakes are costly and the manufacturers and suppliers will not accept returns without a penalty.
1. NO PURCHASES MAY BE RETURNED FOR CREDIT OR REFUND AFTER 21 days from date of purchase without prior approval from salesperson handling account or store manager. If approval is obtained the maximum credit allowed will be 80% of purchase price when purchased from SBM. Credit will be issued based on length of time since date of purchase and sale-ability of item returned. In no case will credit be more than 80% of original price.
