Returns & Quality Claims
If a part is wrong or defective, we replace it
You do not have to pay for a replacement — and in most cases, you do not have to return the defective part.
Report the issue within 30 days of delivery with:
- A clear photo of the defective part
- Your measurement data (if applicable)
- Your order number
- A brief description of how you discovered the issue
What we will do
If the parts do not meet the specification on the product page or on your approved drawing, we will:
- Ship replacement parts at our cost via express courier, or
- Issue a full refund to your original payment method
You choose which option.
You typically do not need to return the parts
Cross-border return freight often costs more than the parts. In most cases, we send replacements or issue a refund without requiring you to return the original parts.
For claims involving large quantities or expensive items, we may arrange prepaid return collection — we will discuss this with you first.
How long?
- Day 1: We acknowledge receipt and review your photos/measurements
- Day 2–3: We confirm whether the parts are defective
- Day 4: Replacement ships (express) or refund processes
- Delivery: Typically 5–10 business days by courier
What we cover
- Out-of-tolerance dimensions (diameter, length, steps per drawing)
- Hardness below specification (HRC, case depth)
- Surface defects (cracks, pitting, delamination of nitriding)
- Wrong material
- Missing parts in a batch order
What we do not cover
- Damage from handling or installation
- Wear from normal use in the mold
- Corrosion from coolant or humidity exposure
- Use in an application other than specified
- Claims after 30 days
If unsure whether a defect is covered, send photos and we will give you an honest answer.
Quality claims on custom (RFQ) parts
Same policy applies. Refer to the drawing and specification in the proforma invoice. If any dimension, hardness or material property is outside the approved specification, we will replace it.

- Check the pack count (pack of 10 vs bulk order)
- Ask us before ordering if you are unsure — that is what the RFQ page is for
