NON-DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE: It is the responsiblity of the customer to determine suitablity of a product prior to placing the unit in service as we do not have a buy it and try it allowance policy. All non-defective GPS merchandise is guaranteed for a period of 21 days from receipt. We will gladly accept all non-defective returns for a refund during that 21 day period. GPSDeals4U.com will not refund your purchase if item is returned in un-sellable condition. We do not refund shipping and handling charges or reimburse for the cost of returning the item to us. For your protection, we suggest you insure the return for the full purchase price. Upon receipt, the product will go to a technician who will review the return for acceptability and then to the accounting department to issue the refund or exchange. Returned merchandise MUST be in its original condition, including boxes and packing materials. We will only credit the credit card used for the original purchase or you can receive credit towards another purchase.

• You MUST Call or Contact Us to obtain a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and shipping instructions prior to returning any GPS merchandise.

• Returns received without prior contact and a Returned Merchandise Authorization are subject to a 25% restocking fee.

• Un-opened returns received with a Returned Merchandise Authorization during the first 21 days are subject to a 15% restocking fee.

• Opened returns in original box with all components received with a Returned Merchandise Authorization during the first 21 days are subject to a 25% restocking fee.

• All refused shipments may be charged a 10% restocking fee and associated shipping charges.

NON-RETURNABLE OR NON-REFUNDABLE ITEMS: ANY software with the seals broken or the original packaging is missing. Units that have been put in service and are not defective. Special orders, opened computer software, and electronic charts, are not returnable. Products such as the iQue, Quest, GPSMAP units, StreetPilot and GPS V are not returnable once the software package has been opened. Also, ANY custom, or special order products such as Garmin Marine Data Cards are NOT returnable as they are maps pre-burned on data cards for customers, speciality accessories, or maps that the customer has arranged on a custom basis with one of our in-house customer service reps. Those sales are final and cannot be returned under any circumstance. Map abnormalities or anomalies are not cause for warranty return. Most GPS maps are provided by two major companies, Navteq and TeleAtlas. Our research indicates Navteq maps used in Garmin, Magellan and Lowrance are superior in accuracy and completeness to TeleAtlas maps used by TomTom and Mio.
