Return Process:

Your satisfaction is always our top priority.

Products are shipped from and returned to the manufacturer.  Due to heavy demand and shortage of supply, there is a service fee for all product exchanges and returns.

A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) from Safety Smart Gear, Inc. (SSG) must first be obtained prior to any return:

  (1) Email us at returns@safetysmartgear.com with the details of your request.

  (2)  SSG will respond to your RMA request via email within 3 to 5 business days of our receipt thereof and upon review and approval, we will provide you with the specific instructions to return your item(s). If your request does not meet this SSG return policy criteria we will notify you via email.

  (3)  All items that you are returning, and that have been approved for return through the manufacturer’s RMA process, must be received within 10 business days from the date of the RMA approval. SSG reserves the right to void a return if it has been more than 10 business days since the RMA was issued.

Important Notes:

  • Your return product(s) must be in 100% resaleable condition. The manufacturers reserve the right to void a return if the product is not returned in the original packaging including all packing materials and affixed tags and labels, or if the actual condition of the returned product differs from the condition described at the time the RMA was granted.
  • Shipping charges are not refundable unless the manufacturer has approved a Return for Warranty (see below).
  • Unauthorized returns (Items returned without RMA authorization OR without the RMA Number clearly displayed) will be refused upon attempted delivery.
  • We highly recommend that you insure your RMA return package(s), as we are not responsible for any items that are lost or damaged during shipping. No refund will be given for damaged items due to poor packaging.
  • SSG reserves the right to reject returns that do not meet our return criteria.
  • Important: Please provide us with the tracking number information for the approved RMA item(s). It will expedite our processing of your return.
