Product Return Authorization Guidelines:

a. All product being returned, whether defective or otherwise, must have an approved Returns Authorization number (RA). Any product returned without an RA will be refused and no credit will be issued. Our returns team can be reached at 800-887-3040 option 4, or via email at returns@arli.com to assist you with any product issues that may arise. All returns must be initiated within 30 days of your purchase date. Any items returned without a Return Authorization (RA) number will be refused.

b. Product Returns Procedure:

  • Please have your account number, order or invoice number, and information about the item(s) you are returning available when contacting Returns.
  • All returns or exchanges must be pre-approved, and assigned a RA number. A return authorization form can be emailed to you to complete and emailed back to us. Once we receive your completed form, and approve the return, an RA number is assigned This RA number expires after 10 days, returned merchandise needs to be returned promptly. If the return request is denied, you will be notified.
  • Repackaging Product for Return: Once an RA number has been generated and communicated to you, the product should be packaged for return shipment. All products must be shipped in a protective outer box with suitable inner packaging to prevent the product from being damaged in transit, regardless of return reason. Product not returned in the above manner may be returned at the customer’s expense without a credit being issued.
  • Please ensure the RA number is written down on the outer shipping carton. In the case of multiple cartons, write the RA number on each label and indicate the number of cartons (for example 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3) DO NOT write the RA number directly on the packaging of the item(s) you are returning. Defacing of the packaging will cause an automatic cancellation of the RA and no credit will be issued. The product must be in resalable condition to receive a credit for any non quality related return.
  • All machine returns must be shipped to the location shown on the RA form and must be shipped freight prepaid by dealer. Please see your Return Authorization form for the correct ship-to address.
  • An RA number does not guarantee a credit. It gives you authorization to return item(s) to us for inspection. Credits will be issued after product has been inspection and determined a credit is due.
  • Any package sent to us for any reason without an authorization number on the outside of the box will be refused. Any unauthorized return, if accepted, will be subject to a 20% restocking charge, unless the value of the returned merchandise is less than $50, in which case a flat $10 processing fee will be charged.
