The customer cannot return articles without a RMA number issued by Internet of Purchasing. RMAs are only issued in cases in which articles do not meet the condition identified in the documentation.

Internet of Purchasing claims no responsibility for returned articles shipped without a valid RMA. 

The customer must pay any restocking charges. Articles without a valid RMA will be returned to the customer at customer’s expense. In the event articles cannot be returned to the customer, the customer will have 90 days to arrange for recovery of the articles. If the customer does not arrange for recovery of the articles within 90 days, the articles will be deemed to be forfeited and returned to Internet of Purchasing stock and the customer will not be entitled to a refund.

Restocking Fees

Customers will be subject to a restocking fee for any returned articles. The restocking fee is inclusive of costs incurred by Internet of Purchasing, including but not limited to time, resource and human capital allocation, and use. Restocking fees will be determined at Internet of Purchasing discretion and shall be a minimum of 25% of the total cost of the order unless otherwise determined by ASAP Industrial. Restocking fees may exceed 25% of the total cost of the order depending upon costs incurred by Internet of Purchasing.
