Return Policies
HOW TO RETURN AN ITEM
Once you have read through our return policies, please email us at americanperformanceoutlet@gmail.com to begin the RMA process.
Items covered under the American Performance Outlet Guarantee offer a 30 day, no questions asked return policy. American Performance Outlet items may be returned within 30 days of the original invoice date and must include all the original parts and contents for a refund. This guarantee does not apply to products that have been installed, modified, damaged, misused or abused. All returns require an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) Number, and any and all freight charges are strictly non-refundable. Please also keep in mind that many brands ship directly from the manufacture, of which charges a restocking fee for new/un-used items being sent back. This is to cover their time in having to unbox to verify the contents are all there as well are in new/saleable condition, reebok the item to ensure the next purchaser gets a brand-new item in a new factory sealed package, as well as any fee's that they deem are fair practice. Generally, we see restocking fee's in this industry around the 10-25% mark depending on the return reason. For more information regarding our freight refund policy, please refer to the Product Refunds section below.

NON RETURNABLE ITEMS - Clearance Items, Special Orders, Open Box / Overstock
American Performance Outlet often sells items that are not eligible for return. These items are labeled as Open-Box, Clearance or Overstock merchandise. These items are sold at greatly reduced prices, therefore all sales are considered final, and no returns or refunds will be granted. The buyer assumes responsibility for any and all risks that may be associated with purchasing said items. While items have been tested for basic functionality, they may have superficial physical defects including (but not limited to) scratches, dings, or dents. Should any items prove defective in either quality or performance after the sale is complete, the buyer assumes responsibility for the cost of all necessary servicing or repairs and agrees to absolve both American Performance Outlet and the manufacturer from any and all responsibility, unless otherwise required by law. Open-Box, Clearance and Overstocked items are not covered by any type of 30-day warranty or satisfaction guarantee.
American Performance Outlet also sells unique or custom order items that are often times made to order and/or are considered special order items. These items are ordered in on a case by case basis. Consequently, items indicated as having this Special Order Return Policy are not eligible for returns or exchanges. Special order items may require a minimum of a 50% non-refundable deposit. This deposit will not be refunded if the order is cancelled unless the items that were ordered are unattainable from the manufacturer. The buyer assumes responsibility that the items ordered will fit their needs.

REFUSED / UNDELIVERABLE ORDERS
Refused or undeliverable orders that are returned to our facility will be processed like a standard return; this means all shipping costs, including return freight charges and any return-to-sender fees assessed by the shipping carrier, will be deducted from the product refund (most carriers charged a $15-30 fee plus return shipping to process a refused or return to sender package). Keep in mind that international orders which have been refused by the receiver or deemed undeliverable by the shipping carrier may be subject to duties, taxes, customs charges or brokerage fees on the return shipment. American Performance Outlet reserves the right to deduct these additional costs, in addition to all freight charges, from the product refund. If you would like to return an item it is recommended that all shipments be accepted and then sent back following our standard return process. Refusing a package has the potential to have it refused, cause delays in return shipping as well as incur additional shipping charges.
PRODUCT REFUNDS
Once your return shipment has been received and approved, a refund will be processed and a credit will automatically be applied to the original form of payment. The refund will most likely appear on your credit statement within 1-5 business days, depending on your bank's processing practices. Please keep in mind that only returns which meet all RMA conditions and return policy requirements will be eligible for a refund. American Performance Outlet does not refund shipping charges for returned items, and orders which qualified for free shipping will not receive a refund for the credited shipping charges we incurred in shipping your package. A restocking fee of 10-25% will be also applied to all refunds, and the % is the manufactures discretion as they go off a per application/scenario system. Any customs or duties charges incurred upon returning an international shipment will be charged to the original form of payment. Refused or undeliverable orders may also be subject to return freight fees, duties, taxes, customs charges or brokerage fees. At the discretion of American Performance Outlet, items purchased from AmericanPerformanceOutlet.com may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 20% of the item's purchase price.
