Returns & Refunds

Clear expectations for returns and refunds.

Our Commitment to Fairness

At Midwest Design Innovations, we stand behind the quality of our products and strive to provide exceptional customer service before, during, and after every purchase. If you need to return a product, our goal is to make the process clear, fair, and efficient.

Because we offer both standard products and custom-engineered solutions, return eligibility varies depending on the type of product purchased. Please review the policy below before requesting a return.

Standard Product Returns

Unless otherwise stated in writing, standard products purchased directly from Midwest Design Innovations or an authorized dealer by the original purchaser may be eligible for return if all of the following conditions are met:

  • The return request is submitted within thirty (30) calendar days of the original delivery date.
  • The return has been approved by Midwest Design Innovations.
  • The product is being returned by the original purchaser.
  • The product is unused, uninstalled, and in new, resalable condition.
  • All original packaging, manuals, accessories, and components are included.
  • Proof of purchase is provided.

Products that do not meet these requirements may not qualify for return or refund.

Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA)

All returns require prior authorization from Midwest Design Innovations.

Before returning any product, customers must contact our support team to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA).

Returns shipped without an approved RMA may be refused and returned to the sender at the customer’s expense.

Custom & Made-to-Order Products

Custom-engineered products, OEM manufacturing, private label products, contract manufacturing, prototypes, and other made-to-order products are manufactured specifically to customer requirements.

These products are non-returnable and non-refundable once engineering, material procurement, or production has begun unless Midwest Design Innovations determines the product contains a verified defect covered under the applicable project warranty.

Warranty coverage for custom products is governed exclusively by the terms established within the applicable quotation, purchase agreement, sales contract, statement of work, or other executed agreement.

Approved cancellations of custom orders may be subject to charges for engineering, materials, labor, tooling, administrative costs, and other expenses incurred prior to cancellation.

Restocking Fees

Approved returns that are not the result of a verified warranty defect, shipping error, or order fulfillment error are subject to a twenty-five percent (25%) restocking fee, unless otherwise stated in writing.

The restocking fee helps offset costs associated with

  • Product inspection
  • Quality verification
  • Repackaging
  • Inventory processing
  • Administrative handling

The applicable restocking fee will be deducted from the approved refund amount.

Products returned damaged, incomplete, modified, or in a condition that prevents resale may be denied for return or may incur additional charges. 

Non-Returnable Products

Unless otherwise required by law, the following products are generally not eligible for return:

  • Custom-engineered products
  • OEM manufactured products
  • Private label products
  • Contract manufactured products
  • Prototype products
  • Products built to customer specifications
  • Installed products
  • Used products
  • Modified products
  • Products damaged through misuse, abuse, neglect, or improper installation
  • Products returned without original packaging or required components

Refunds

Once an approved return has been received and inspected, Midwest Design Innovations will notify you of the status of your refund.

If approved, refunds will be issued to the original payment method whenever possible.

Original shipping charges are non-refundable unless the return is the direct result of:

  • A verified manufacturing defect
  • A shipping error by Midwest Design Innovations
  • An incorrect product shipped by Midwest Design Innovations

Refund processing times may vary depending on your financial institution or payment provider.

Exchanges

If you receive an incorrect product or a product with a verified manufacturing defect, Midwest Design Innovations will work with you to repair, replace, or exchange the product, as appropriate.

Exchange requests are subject to product availability and the applicable warranty terms. 

Return Shipping

Customers are responsible for all return shipping costs unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Midwest Design Innovations.

Returned products must be packaged securely to prevent damage during transit. Midwest Design Innovations is not responsible for products damaged during return shipment due to insufficient or improper packaging.

We recommend using a shipping service that provides shipment tracking and appropriate insurance, as Midwest Design Innovations is not responsible for return shipments that are lost or damaged while in transit.

If a return is approved due to a verified warranty defect or an error made by Midwest Design Innovations, return shipping arrangements may be coordinated at the sole discretion of Midwest Design Innovations.

Damaged or Incorrect Orders

If your order arrives damaged or you receive an incorrect product, you must notify Midwest Design Innovations within three (3) business days of delivery.

To assist with the claim process, please provide

  • Your order number or proof of purchase.
  • Photographs of the product.
  • Photographs of the shipping container and packaging.
  • A description of the issue.

Prompt reporting allows us to work with the shipping carrier and determine the appropriate resolution.
