Processing Returns (IMPORTANT):

To initiate a return, you MUST obtain an RMA number and the correct return address from us (we will provide both of these). Any returned shipments that do not contain a valid RMA number will not be accepted. NOTE: Items must be returned in their original packaging and condition.

To retrieve an RMA number, or for more details, please contact us at support@redcarpettelescopes.com!

Returns:

If you would like to return your purchase for any reason within 30 days of receiving the product(s), we can only grant a refund if the items are returned in their original packaging and condition. To confirm that products are in their original packaging and condition, we may ask you (the customer) to provide photographs of the items before they are returned to us. 

Refunds will be issued after the warehouse receives, inspects and processes your return (this may take upwards of 5-7 business days). 

The customer will be responsible for covering both the return shipping costs, as well as the shipping costs associated with originally shipping the item(s) to them (the customer). Additionally, a minimum 5% re-stocking fee will apply. These fees will be deducted from the customers' refund. 

Liability for Return Shipments:

It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that any return packages are returned to us safely and securely. Given this, in cases where the customer returns the item(s) using a shipping service of their choice, we recommend that a fully tracked service is selected for any return shipments, and that return shipments are tendered to an official Shipping Carrier distribution centre (UPS, FedEx etc) - and not a 3rd party shipping/distribution centre.

Red Carpet Telescopes will not be liable for any items that are lost, stolen, and/or damaged in transit during return shipping. These issues will need to be dealt with directly with the Carrier.

Exchanges:

If you wish to exchange the item for another product within 30 days of receiving it, we can likely wave any re-stocking fees (depending on the condition of the product), and we can help reduce or wave any return shipping fees. However, in some cases, these fees may still apply. Please email us for full details at support@redcarpettelescopes.com. 

Product Condition:

When you receive your package(s), you should immediately inspect both the packaging and the product(s) to ensure that nothing is damaged or that your shipment isn't missing anything (additional products or accessories).

If you notice any damage to your product(s) upon delivery - please send photos to support@redcarpettelescopes.com as soon as possible and we will make the arrangements necessary to have your product returned, and have a replacement shipped to you. If possible, your product(s) will need to be returned in all of its original packaging. 

If you notice that the packaging of your shipment is damaged, please do NOT throw the packaging away. Please take pictures of the packaging, and send it to support@redcarpettelescopes.com.
