Please also be aware that orders canceled after being shipped will be treated as Unopened Returns and may incur shipping and restocking fees, if applicable.

Additionally, if a discount was applied based on the quantity of the purchase, this discount will be adjusted in any refunds, should the retained quantity fall below the minimum required for the discount.

Growcycle’s Prior Authorization Requirement 

All returns to Growcycle require prior authorization. Please refrain from sending back items without the approval from Growcycle.com, as unauthorized returns will be sent back to the original sender. You can request a return via phone, email, or through our website. Following your request, we will send you an email detailing the return address for the return and provide specific instructions for sending back the item(s).

Guidelines For Returns Of Unopened Returned Item(s) 

To be eligible for a return at Growcycle, the merchandise must meet the conditions set forth below. 

  • Condition of Merchandise: Items must be new and in resalable condition. This includes being free from scratches, dents, or any cosmetic defects. The products should not have been used or installed in any way.

  • Packaging Requirements: Products must be returned in the original, undamaged manufacturer’s packaging. This packaging must be placed inside a plain brown shipping box (over-boxing/double-boxing). Please avoid returning products in the manufacturer’s packaging without additional over-boxing.

  • Complete Returns: Ensure the return includes all informational brochures, installation guides, cords, and accessories that came with the product.

  • Special Order Items: Items that are specially ordered may not be returned for a refund. They can only be replaced if found defective or damaged in transit.

  • Condition for Acceptance: Growcycle.com reserves the right to refuse a return if the item is not in like-new condition or if the manufacturer’s packaging is damaged or missing. Ensure the manufacturer’s packaging is adequately protected with a plain brown shipping box.

  • Shipping Responsibilities: You are responsible for the return shipping costs. Items must be sent back to the designated location in the same condition they were received. For your protection, we highly recommend insuring your return package with your chosen carrier. In the event of damage, loss, or theft during transit back to the warehouse, Growcycle.com cannot be held responsible.

How to Request A Return For Unopened Items 

To initiate a return with Growcycle, you have several convenient options for notifying us of your request. 

Remember, all returns need prior authorization from Growcycle.

Packing and Shipping Your Return

  • Original Packaging: Ensure that the item is in its original manufacturer’s packaging, then place it inside a separate shipping box to avoid any damage.
  • Clearing Old Labels: Remove or cover any previous shipping labels, stickers, or materials on the outer shipping box. A black marker can be effective for covering old labels or barcodes.
  • Addressing the Package: Send your package to the fulfillment center address provided in your Return Authorization paperwork. Note that returns do not always go back to the original shipping location.
  • Choosing a Shipping Service: You can drop off the return package with any shipping company you prefer. For added security, we recommend using authorized UPS or FedEx Service Centers as they provide tracking and insurance options.

Processing Your Return

  • Shipping Time: After dropping off your return, please allow 4-5 business days for the package to arrive at our designated location.
  • Refund Processing: Once our vendor partners receive and inspect your return, we will process your refund within 7 business days.

  • Refund Credit: The refund will be credited back to your original payment method within 2 business days of processing.
  • Bank Processing Time: Be aware that the time it takes for the refund to appear in your account as available funds may vary depending on your credit card company. This can take an additional 2-10 business days.
  • Coupons and Discounts: If your purchase involved a coupon or discount, the refund amount will reflect the discounted price you paid and will be issued to your original payment method.

Special Order Items

  • Definition: Special Order Items are those not available in the location of our vendor partners, but sourced from third-party suppliers upon order.
  • Refund Eligibility: These items are not eligible for a refund or replacement unless they arrive damaged or defective. Please check the product listing on Growcycle.com, as Special Order items are clearly marked.

Damaged Items and Shipments in Transit

On rare occasions, products may be damaged during shipping. Here's how to handle such situations. 

If You Suspect Damage Upon Delivery

  • Refuse the Package: If you're present during delivery and notice damage, refuse to accept the package(s) from the driver. Make sure to note any visible damage on the delivery receipt.
  • Immediate Notification: If you're unable to refuse the damaged shipment, please contact Growcycle.com immediately by email or phone.

Ground Packages

  • Inspection Time Frame: You must open and inspect ground packages within 72 hours of delivery.
  • Reporting Damage: If you discover damage, notify Growcycle.com within this 72-hour window so we can report the claim and process a refund or replacement.
  • Conditions for Refund/Replacement: Refunds or replacements are contingent upon timely notification of damage, especially if the item(s) were signed for as received in good condition.

Freight Shipments

  • Inspection Upon Delivery: Freight (palletized) shipments require inspection upon delivery. If you see visible damage (like forklift holes, punctures, dents, or holes in packaging), refuse the shipment and note the damage on the delivery receipt.
  • If Damage is Discovered Post-Acceptance: Notify Growcycle.com within 72 hours if the shipment was already accepted.
  • Signing the Freight Bill: If you sign the freight bill without noting damages, it's taken as acknowledgment of receiving the shipment in acceptable condition. This limits the possibility of filing a freight claim, and no reimbursement for freight charges, order costs, or other expenses will be provided by Growcycle.com.

Photographic Evidence

Growcycle.com reserves the right to request pictures of the outer packaging and the damaged product before proceeding with your claim.

Unauthorized Returns and Refused Shipments

Please be aware of our policy regarding shipments that are refused upon delivery.

  • Restocking Fee: Additionally, a minimum restocking fee of 20% will be applied in these scenarios.

This policy does not apply to items damaged during storage or to refusals based on errors made by Growcycle.com.

  • Made-to-Order Products: Some products on Growcycle.com are made to order. If you cancel these orders after production has begun, a cancellation fee may apply.
