Returns & Refunds

All orders placed by customers with Architectural Builders Supply Inc. (ABsupply.net) are processed at time of order. Because of the cost incurred through the order placement, order fulfillment process, and/or the custom nature of products (ie. items finished to specific color or materials cut to length), certain items are non-cancel-able and non-returnable and in all cases where the item(s) are indicated as made to order. Additionally there are instances when a manufacturer will deny a request for a return authorization (also known as RGA) based on dollar amount or amount of elapsed time from order date.

Returns are time-consuming and costly for all parties involved. If you are unsure if the products you are ordering will work for your project, call customer service first before placing your order to confirm compatibility with your application and which product(s) can be returned. Our customer service department will be able to confirm compatibility, return, refund, and restocking fee(s) qualifications as outlined on this page. Your total satisfaction is our goal and eliminating the possibility of the need for a return beforehand is crucial to achieve this. We genuinely always strive for total accuracy. By all means reach out to us prior to placing your order asking for assistance to make sure that you are ordering the correct item because it in correctly used part number will result in the order being shipped incorrect. A very common mistake is using a part number for a fire extinguisher cabinet such as the Larsens G2409-R4 and then adding plain language to the description that states "stainless steel". The correct part number to use would be Larsens SSG2409-R4 and in this circumstance we would not assume the obligation of shipping the incorrect item as the part number is the defining characteristic of the item. If the part number you are ordering is not precisely a match what you have been requested to order or is not an exact match with the part numbers you are locating in your specifications please do not place an order until confirming accuracy with us.

There are occasions when items can be considered for return but these situations are handled on a case by case basis only. If you purchase a product from Architectural Builders Supply Inc. (ABsupply.net) and wish to return it, you may request return authorization on any unopened, resell-able items to us within 15 days of receipt. Returns after this time period are generally not permitted. Once an RGA is issued, it expires after 30 days.

We, at Architectural Builders Supply, understand that sometimes items ordered do not work out for a variety of reasons. We are willing to work with you to help in the process of returning items previously ordered. Please fill out the form below and we will respond as quickly as practical. If you have any questions prior to requesting a return, please see our return and refund policy below. We respond to every return request email as quickly as possible. This process often involves communication with the manufacturer, wholesaler and sometimes even the carrier used to deliver the order to you. This process is sometimes instant, but sometimes requires time to assemble. We work very hard to respond quickly and take pride in doing so. You, the valued customer, has trusted us with your order and can trust us to provide return instructions to help guide you through the process.

Please note:

When requesting a return please advise if you would like this posted an account for your future use to apply to a future order. This is our standard policy when posting credits. There is an advantage to posting it for you to apply to a future order. The advantage is that we post an additional credit equal to 3% of the material cost of the order. Why? We pay the payment processing company an equal amount to simply handle the return so if you're going to use that credit on a future order we would prefer that that amount that we would otherwise incur be reflected back to you as an additional credit. If you would like the credit to the original form of payment please clarify that at the time of request.
Customers are encouraged to place orders via the website. We are not responsible for errors in orders when placed verbally
The refunded amount will be reduced by the cost of the original shipping cost incurred by Architectural Builders Supply, and then be subject to a restocking fee determined by the manufacturer
