What you can return

Returnable

  • Unused, unworn items in new condition, within 30 days of purchase
  • Original, undamaged packaging with all tags attached, ready to resell
  • Personal purchases in normal quantities (not bulk, see below)

Not returnable

  • Clearance items, and anything marked "final sale", "factory seconds" or "sold as is"
  • Belts that have been cut to size, such as ratchet belts
  • Custom or personalized items: helmets and helmet fronts, custom lightbars, custom badges and collar brass, embroidery, screen printing, costumes
  • Class A coats and pants (built to order)
  • Installed items: headlight flashers, vehicle lighting, sirens, speakers
  • Used items, items with tags removed or without packaging
  • Expired items, including all medical and EMS supplies
  • Bulk, wholesale and special-order purchases
Cut belts can't be returned or exchanged. Many belts, like Kore Essentials ratchet belts, are cut to your size. Once a belt is cut it can't be resold, so measure twice and cut once. Not sure about sizing? Contact us before you cut.

Bulk and department orders

A bulk purchase is an order with a large quantity of the same item, or a large order value, for a group, agency or department. Examples:

  • Orders for several people in a department or agency, typically 10 or more of the same product or size range
  • Custom or special-order items made to order, such as uniforms, apparel, equipment or accessories
  • Items bought at bulk or contract pricing

Bulk and special-order purchases are final sale and can't be returned or exchanged. That's how we keep agency pricing low and large orders moving.

Chargebacks

Please talk to us first. If you file a credit card chargeback without first giving us a fair chance to resolve the problem, we charge a $50 chargeback fee. Chargebacks are meant for charges you never authorized. For anything else (an order, a back-order or a return) we'll work with you to make it right.

Our promise: if we make a mistake, we fix it. Period.
