Post Sale

SWAT Systems understands that sometimes product returns are unavoidable. It is SWAT Systems’ objective to minimize the costs associated with product returns for both SWAT Systems and our customers and further, to facilitate the product return credit invoice process. Because SWAT Systems deals with many different suppliers to support the diverse requirements of our customers, return policies and procedures may vary from transaction to transaction.

Fees charged in conjunction with product returns are assessed only to cover the business expenses associated with processing the product return, such as credit order processing, supplier restocking and inspection fees and shipping expenses.

SWAT Systems will accept the return of any product(s) delivered in error by SWAT and other product returns subject to the terms and conditions as outlined below.
