I am sorry to hear that you have had such an issue with your wine cooler and I am surprised to hear that you had a difficulty solving the problem. For starters, the way our company and 99% of other companies work is we have a standard 30 day return policy. Which means that if you decide to return your product during the 30 day period for any reason, you may do so. However, past 30 days, we are unable to accept returns on merchandise because, even in the case of a defect because we have no way to detect what really happened to the product and we are not able to return the merchandise to the manufacturer after the 30 day time period. For this reason, we strongly encourage all our customers, on our website, to inspect all merchandise upon receipt and confirm that everything is working correctly.
However, we understand that sometimes problem may arise past 30 days and we have full intentions of assisting our customer to our best ability. However, any defects that occur past 30 days, must be handled through the manufacturer. We can assist you in contacting them and providing service; but the product would not get returned through us past this point. If for some reason, the manufacturer is unable to repair your merchandise due to defect, they will replace it. This replacement occurs through the manufacturer as well, not through us.
I’m not sure of the misunderstanding that has occurred during your order, but perhaps the above information is what John Wright was trying to explain to you and your husband. If you have any questions, you can feel free to give us a call and you may contact the manufacturer for any repair work that is needed for your item, it will be done in your home and free of charge.
