We at HoseBox prioritize customer satisfaction and ensure that our dealers and distributors are fully equipped to handle returns or complaints.

 

Here’s our process:

Return Policy: All products being returned for credit must be returned in the original unopened standard pack in the master shipping carton and be received in new saleable condition. Products returned due to overstock, lost sales, order error, undeliverable, and rejected and canceled shipments are subject to a 20% restock charge. The customer is responsible for all freight expenses for returned product. Any product returned to HoseBox Inc. that is a non-Hose Box product will be disposed of.

 

Initiating a Return: To initiate a return, dealers or distributors can direct their customers to contact us at sales@https://hosebox.com. Once the return is accepted, we’ll send an RMA return packing slip, as well as instructions on how and where to send the package. HoseBox will cover the cost of return shipping only when the returned item is found defective or misrepresented.

 

Damages and Issues: We ask our dealers and distributors to instruct their customers to inspect their order upon receipt and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged, or if they received the wrong item. We are committed to 100% customer satisfaction and will gladly work with our customers to resolve any issues.
Items must be returned to HoseBox for inspection by our Service Team. Please call to obtain an RMA number prior to returning any product. The return freight cost will be paid by the customer. Credit will be applied once an inspection is complete and approved.

 

Exchanges: If customers wish to exchange an item, they should return the item they have, and once the return is received, inspected, and accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item. Return policy is applied to exchanges too. 

At HoseBox, we understand the importance of having a specific market or territory to focus on for our distributors. Therefore, we are open to discussions around territory protection based on the size of orders and the distributor’s capabilities.

 

Typically, if a distributor can demonstrate a strong potential for sales and an ability to service and support the customers in a specific area, we may consider granting territory protection for that area. However, this generally correlates with the volume of orders made.

 

In other words, the size of your order does influence the possibility of securing a protected territory. Larger orders may secure larger or more exclusive territories.

 

For detailed discussions around territory protection and order sizes, please reach out to our sales team at sales@https://hosebox.com or call us at 1-800-592-3176. We’re eager to understand your business goals and discuss how we can best support them as a HoseBox distributor.
