Special UPS Pickup Service for Selected Items
For certain categories of merchandise, such as those with extra weight, unwieldy size or the restrictions of battery inclusion during shipping, Journey will be happy to assist with these returns by arranging for a UPS pickup. Such items include the Zinger and Zoomer Chairs, as well as our wheelchairs and scooters. After we issue you your RMA number, check with Customer Service to establish whether your return item qualifies for our UPS pickup service.
Returns that we schedule for you via UPS shipping must be ready for pickup the morning of the third business day following the day your RMA number was emailed to you. UPS will make up to three attempts to pick up your return item, and will provide you address labels when making the pickup. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer: You will be charged the actual amount of the UPS charges, which will be deducted from your refund. UPS pickup is to your and our advantage, considering battery-shipping regulations. Again, if there were hazmat papers and decals in a clear pouch attached to the outside of the box when you received your purchase, they must remain attached to the box when you return the item. The hazmat decals that came on the carton must be intact and legible.
Credits
After we receive your returned merchandise, we will issue a credit back to your original method of payment, less the original shipping fee and the cost of return shipping if arranged by us. However, if we receive the merchandise back and it is damaged, we will deduct the cost of repairs up to and including the full amount of the sale. Returns are typically processed within three business days of receipt of your item. If you paid by money order, we will issue a credit via a mailed check within seven business days. Restocking fees will also be deducted from the refund.
