What happens if I receive a different item than what I ordered?

We will also pay all shipping costs associated with sending the correct item to you and will do our best to get the correct order to you as quickly as we can.
What happens if I discover I ordered the wrong item after I received my order?
Complete our RMA form online at www.generalfilters.com (found by clicking on "returns" at the top of our web page). If a return is approved, you will be issued an RMA # and asked to return the item in its original packaging and condition. The RMA# must be included on the outside of your package, and inside on a copy of your invoice / original purchase receipt.
During the call you may also place an order for the correct item. At that time you will be asked to pay for the new item and shipping costs.
Once we have received your return, we may perform tests to be sure it is in good working order and its exterior unblemished. Once the item is determined to be in good working condition and unblemished, we will issue a refund (generally, within 14 days after receipt of your return).
