ZenSupply's Return Policy

We aim to make the returns process as smooth as possible. Commercial door hardware is complex and we understand sometimes the wrong item is ordered.

We'll do our best to make the process as smooth as possible for you.

Our detailed Return Policy has more information that you can read here at Return Policy


Returns process overview

A bird's-eye summary of the process.

  • You submit a return request
  • We review it & coordinate with our warehouse return teams
  • We send you return instructions
  • You send the items(s) back (to the specified warehouse location we provide)
  • The warehouse receives and inspects the items
  • Our finance team approves or rejects the return
  • You are notified
  • For approved returns, a replacement or refund is initiated (based on your preference)

What to expect

  • We'll review the request ASAP (in the order they come in), so please be patient
  • The total process (beginning to end) can take up to 14 business days, sometimes longer
  • If there are any hiccups or delays, we will notify with you
  • Return shipping is free to customers if the shipment was our mistake
  • Customers pay return shipping if the items(s) were bought by mistake or not needed

Common reasons for delays

  • We cannot reach you (please make sure your account info and contact details in any correspondence are accurate and updated)
  • The items are returned to the wrong warehouse location (and they need to be re-routed to the correct one)

  • Take multiple pictures of the process (this is for your documentation and benefit and helps us if we need more info)
  • If you specify a replacement indicate what you are looking for and acceptable replacements (e.g. a comparable product model, the same brand as the original product, etc.)
  • Refer to the information in his guide and our Returns Policy for more detailed information so you can be informed
  • Be prepared to share additional information or pictures of the items(s) you are returning so we can classify them correctly once they've been received
