Non-Returnable Products
Our customers are almost always satisfied with their snow plows and accessories, and returns are very rare. However, the items listed below are not returnable, except in the case of manufacturer defect or an error on our side. This list is subject to change:
- Meyer Home Plows - Due to the truck freight costs associated with this line of snow plows, Meyer Home Plows are non-returnable unless damaged/defective or in the case of a mistake on behalf of Snow Plows Direct.
- SnowSport HD, LT, ATV, & 180 Snow Plows - because these plows are manually assembled and require drilling, they are non-returnable unless damaged/defective or in the case of a mistake on behalf of Snow Plows Direct.
- Any item that has been altered (installed, used, painted, bent, scratched, damaged, etc.) in any way, through abuse, misuse or improper installation.
- Any items that are not in their original packaging, not in new and ready-to-sell condition, or missing components (hardware, instructions, everything originally included).
- Items purchased in a clearance, closeout or liquidation sale.
- Special orders.
