Shipping, Exchange and Return Policy

Shipping/Postage Policy

All items are freshly made and carefully packed by The Solid Bar Company Team in the United Kingdom prior to being forwarded to our distribution location in North Carolina.

All items will be shipped using USPS unless you select an expedited service at checkout (if that option is offered) or you contact us after purchase BUT prior to shipping to advise and pay for an expedited service.

As such we aim to have all orders prepared, packed and shipped within 2-3 working days of receipt of the order.

Please also note that if your package is lost/damaged or undelivered then we will replace/refund, as is your choice, only if you have chosen a tracked shipping option at checkout.

If you have not chosen the tracked shipping option, but opted for the non-tracked shipping option, we are limited to a maximum refund or exchange value of $20 USD.

Where Do We Ship to?

Orders made on this website will only ship to the United States of America. If you require items to be sent further afield, for instance to Europe or Asia then please purchase your items from our UK website as here.

Customs and other Border Charges

On occasion we are aware that certain country's border and customs officials can delay shipments and may also levy additional importation charges on shipped items.

Where this applies we have no control over this practice and must advise that any and all such charges remain the responsibility of the importing party, i.e. the customer.  Unfortunately, neither can we intervene in this process in anyway to either influence the charges being waived or to expedite their process time.

Refunds - if applicable

Our policy lasts 14 days. If 14 days have gone by since your order was shipped, unfortunately we cannot offer you a refund, credit note or product exchange.

In the rare event that you may be dissatisfied with any of our products, or in any other circumstances, please contact us in the first instance, quoting your order reference number, with your concerns by email on orders_at_thesolidbarcompanyusa.com , and we will endeavour to resolve matters to a mutually satisfactory conclusion.

Please note that our sales and customer service hours are Mon to Fri and closed on Sat to Sun.

If we consider that the circumstances warrant refund pursuance, and to ensure that you are eligible for the refund process, the returned items need to be unused and returned in the original packaging.

Refunds procedure - if applicable

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item and also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If you receive a refund, the cost of our shipping will be deducted from your refund.

If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment; this is normally processed within 30 days.

Late or missing refunds - if applicable

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again. Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted. If you have done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us by email.

Sale items - if applicable

Only regular priced items may be refunded, unfortunately sale items cannot be refunded.

Exchanges - if applicable

We only replace items if they are defective or damaged. If you need to exchange it for the same item, send us an email and await our response before sending your item. At that time we will advise of the full return address.

Gifts

If the item was marked as a gift when purchased and shipped directly to you, you’ll receive a gift credit for the value of your return. Once the returned item is received, a gift certificate will be mailed to you.

If the item was not marked as a gift when purchased, or the gift giver had the order shipped to themselves to give to you later, we will send a refund to the gift giver and they will find out about your return.

Shipping Returns

To return your product, send us an email outlining the full circumstances of your return request and await our response before sending your item. At that time we will advise of the full appropriate address that accepts returns.

You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of our shipping will be deducted from your refund.

Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you may vary.

If you are shipping an item over $50 USD value, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We cannot guarantee that we will receive your returned item.

Our apologies, but we (The Solid Bar Company USA web direct) cannot accept returns of items that have been purchased through any other retail store, in such circumstances you must comply with that specific store's return policy.

Remember, We Cannot Accept Returns Without Prior Authorization.
