Shipping - Order Confirmation - claims - Returns & refunds

By placing an order you agree to the following policies and guidelines. They may change without notice.

TWO WEEKS TO MAKE YOUR DEVICE(S)
The device(s) in your order are made once I receive either your deposit, if you’re local, or your full payment if you order from the website. I do NOT carry a ready-to-go inventory at this time. I’ll get your order ready as soon as I can, but it may take two weeks.

ORDER CONFIRMATION
When your order is ready, I’ll let you know, usually by email or text.  I will NOT actually ship or arrange delivery until I have a reply confirmation from you. If I don’t receive confirmation within 15 business days I’ll cancel your order and provide a refund minus a 15% cancellation processing fee. For special order devices, the cancellation processing fee is 50% of the modified device cost per the order contract.

RETURN & REFUND
A verified defect in workmanship or materials qualifies for a refund or replacement. These devices are carefully assembled with quality parts and materials to prevent this. But, if something is wrong, I want to make it right. There is no refund or replacement if the device is installed or used contrary to our instructions.

  • For the New Tech Yard Hydrant the warranty is technically one year from the shipping or delivery date. However, I do what I can to make it right if you have an honest issue. 
  • For the Easy T-Post Bracing Anchor the warranty is for five years.
  • For the Swinging Heavy-Door Support the warranty is for three years for residential use.

In case you would like to make a claim, please provide a clearly readable detailed written description along with photos. Email these to me at support@improveddevices.com, but do not return any parts or device unless I instruct you to do so in writing by email or text. I will make a determination about your claim following a discussion with you. If I determine your claim is valid, I’ll provide a replacement device or the part(s) and reasonable reimbursement for your time, if you’re competent to make the repair.  

If I decide not to honor your claim, I will explain in detail why I came to that conclusion. If you believe I have overlooked an important consideration, you and I can discuss the situation further to come up with a solution fair to both of us. 

DAMAGED IN SHIPPING TO YOU 
I package our products carefully to prevent damage during shipping. However, I suggest you inspect your order when it arrives to determine the condition of your device(s). If you believe a device was damaged in shipping, immediately file a claim against the shipper. I will assist you in processing that claim in whatever way I can.
 
LATE OR MISSING REFUNDS

I’ll send an email to notify you of any refund I’m providing. Give it a few days to process through your bank once your receive notice. Seven business days should be more than enough time for it to show up as a credit to your account. Let me know if it doesn’t and I’ll do what I can on my end to find out what’s going on. 

ANYTHING ELSE?

Contact Me with your questions or comments. I won’t respond if you’re not civil.
