Types of Returns
Ordering Error Claims

We understand that items are sometimes ordered in error and we are happy to help you when this occurs. We simply ask that you return the items in the original packaging. We will then re-ship the correct product for the applicable shipping fees, plus a 15% re-stock fee to cover the cost of the return. If the original packaging has been damaged please notify your customer service representative when you initiate the return.

Damaged or Lost Shipment Claims

Please take a moment to inspect your shipments when they arrive. If the packaging is damaged and the enclosed item appears to be damaged, it’s important that you keep the original package and call us to file a claim with the carrier.  Big Systems will only file claims on orders shipped with Big Systems shipping accounts.

Manufacturing Defect Claims

When a product is thought to contain a manufacturing defect, we may request that photos or samples be provided for evaluation prior to a Return Merchandise Authorization number being issued.
