Stock Return - USA Only
United Pacific Industries encourages all dealers to regularly monitor the sales volume and stock level of their inventory items. As sales trends may slow the movement of specific items, our hope is that those items are featured as "close-out specials" as to minimize stock returns. We also understand that the dealer, from time to time, may accumulate over-stock items and desire to return those. Therefore, we have adopted the following policy.
NOTE:
Items must have been purchased by the United States dealer requesting the stock return.
Items must have been purchased within the preceding 12 months.
Items that have been discontinued will not be considered for return.
