RETURN POLICY

- Incorrect item shipped
- Damaged or defective items (upon delivery)
- Unmet product specifications (order as basis)
A full refund for the price of the returned item will be issued. All agreed refunds would be paid directly to the customer's credit card or deposit account. This will depend on what method of payment was used to pay for the product.
Only if the return is a result of e-2-door's error will a refund of the shipping costs be given.

Warranties
|
As a general rule, e-2-door will not service any warranty claims. Product warranties or guarantees are the sole responsibility of the manufacturer or vendor and not e-2-door. e-2-door however can facilitate the reverse logistics for claims not accepted locally. The customer though will have to shoulder the shipping costs.
It is the customer's responsibility to determine if the warranty program for any product purchased using e-2-door will be honored where they reside. By using e-2-door, the shopper acknowledges that some warranty programs are valid only in the jurisdiction where the merchant resides.
|
|
Product Notices and Recalls
|
|
The customer's mailing address will not be disclosed to merchants by e-2-door at the time a product is purchased on their behalf. It will be the customer's sole responsibility to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the merchants and product manufacturers are able to provide them with notices or with recall information that may be issued in respect to products that are purchased using e-2-door. e-2-door suggests that you complete and mail in the warranty cards often packaged with consumer products.

CANCELLATION POLICY
|
|
The shopper can cancel a transaction that is in "open" status. Once the status is "in process" -- an item within the
order has been purchased -- the transaction can only be cancelled if the merchant has not processed the order. However, if the merchant has processed
your order, e-2-door must treat your request as a return. In the case of a return, e-2-door will have to charge a Return Handling Fee, plus applicable taxes.
As a matter of policy, once a shopping cart has been submitted and confirmed or a quotation accepted, e-2-door begins the procurement process. The
shopper is therefore encouraged to review all orders carefully before submission or acceptance. To cancel an order, contact e-2-door at support@e-2-door.com

Some Possible Causes Of Delivery Delays:
e-2-door tries its best to ship orders as quickly as possible.
About 100% of all orders are shipped and delivered on time. However,
some delays may occur. Listed below are the top reasons for delays
to help customers understand the process.
- On Procurement…
Stock Availability. Though the merchant site promises availability
and delivery, item may already be out-of-stock. Frequently occurs
with online sales and discounts.
Seasonal Volume. Online transactions consistently peak
on holidays (e.g., Labor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas,
New Year, etc). During this time, fulfillment of orders always
suffers as online retailers and transportation and logistic providers
are swamped with business.
Site Traffic. Specialized sites (less famous sites) offering
similar products almost always deliver quicker than high traffic
sites (aggregators). They are able to give extra attention to
fulfilling an order. A plus which other sites like amazon.com
fail to provide (or have difficulty providing) because of their
larger transaction volume.
Multiple Sources. Orders that are fulfilled from multiple
warehouse locations across the US are prone to delays because
of differences in delivery times from the source to the procurement
office.
- On Shipping…
Flight Delay or Cancellation. Rescheduling due to weather
or transport mechanical problems are factors that contribute to
backlogs in delivery that are beyond the control of the business.
Misplaced Shipment…
Loss orders due to mishandling or the accidental off-loading of
cargo are other likely causes of delivery delay. The extent of
the delay depends on the speed with which the loss items are recovered
and the availability of the next trip.
- On Logistics…
Bureau of Customs Issues. The releasing of the shipment
in customs may be delayed due to the following factors: personnel
revamp, BoC system failure, absence of signatories, etc.
Equipment Breakdown.
Delivery vehicles may breakdown during transport that may cause
some delay on final door delivery. The possible unavailability
of backup alternatives can complicate matters for e-2-door.
|
Availability
|
If the shopper orders more than one item within a purchase transaction, e-2-door will make every effort to send similarly available items together, though there will be no guarantees. This of course assumes that the shipping method is the same across all items.
Instead of waiting until the entire order is ready for shipping, which may delay the entire delivery, e-2-door will ship the items as they become available at no extra cost. This will only occur if the ordered items have widely different availabilities that go beyond the grace consolidation period or the ordered items have different transport modes.
As a result, e-2-door may occasionally send ordered items within a purchase transaction in separate boxes. This however will not affect existing shipping charges.
|
|
Insurance
|
When using e-2-door, all orders are insured against loss or damage. The cost of this insurance is included in your shipping and handling fee.
|
|
