Return Shipping
Unless The Independence Company made an error, return freight is the customer's responsibility. We will be happy to help you determine which shipping method to use once you have requested your RA number. We highly recommend insuring larger items for their retail value to protect against shipping damage.

Please be sure to carefully follow all return-shipping instructions that are included with your Return Authorization number. If an item is returned to the wrong address, The Independence Company reserves the right to charge for any additional shipping fees associated with shipping the item to the correct location. In addition, if a scheduled pickup with a delivery carrier is missed, The Independence Company may institute a $10 fee per missed scheduled pickup.

Cancelled Orders
Orders cancelled after the item has shipped are subject to all standard return policies. You must accept delivery, obtain an RA Number and ship the item back to the correct address. If delivery of an item is refused, return shipping costs are deducted from the issued credit and a 25% restocking fee (minimum $25) will apply. Second-Day and Next-Day shipping costs will not be credited if delivery is refused.

Credits
Once the returned product is received with an RA number, we will issue a credit to the credit card used for the purchase. If you paid by check or money order, we will issue a check within 4 weeks.

If any item is defective or was damaged in shipping, please call us at 1-800-850-0335 or email us at customerservice@TheIndependenceCompany.com. We will arrange for the item to be picked up, and you will be credited both the purchase and shipping costs.
