RURAL KING RETURN POLICY

At Rural King, we want you to be satisfied with not only your purchase, but your overall experience. With that in mind, Rural King’s Return Policy is designed to be as hassle-free and fair as possible. Please review the following guidelines to process your return.


Problems With Your Order. If you receive an order that arrives damaged, defective, or in need of replacement parts, please contact Rural King’s customer service team at  1-800-561-1752 or reach out to us via email at [email protected]. Our associates will be happy to provide a replacement or assist you with your return.


Returns WITH Receipt. In order to process your return or exchange with receipt, the procedure must be initiated within thirty (30) calendar days of the original purchase. Products eligible for return or exchange will be in like new condition, undamaged, and include all appropriate tags and/or product paperwork. Digital receipts may also be an option for customers who use a credit/debit card or those customers who participate in our Rural King Rewards Program. Digital receipts are accepted as a valid proof of purchase. No ID is required to process a return if a receipt is presented.


If your item is eligible for return, payment will be sent in accordance with the chart below:

Returns WITHOUT Receipt.If you have lost or misplaced your receipt, we may be able to help! As noted above, a digital receipt may be an option if you have the original credit/debit card on hand or by accessing your Rural King Loyalty Rewards Account. If these options are not available, to move forward without a receipt, the return or exchange must be initiated within 30 calendar days of the original purchase. Products eligible must be in like new condition, undamaged, and include all appropriate tags and/or product paperwork. For all returns or exchanges without a receipt, the customer must also provide a Driver’s License or State ID. This allows the cashier to obtain the individual’s name and address for Rural King’s records where allowed by law. Rural King reserves the right to limit returns initiated without proof of purchase. In accordance with that right, each customer is limited to $500 worth of returns or exchanges WITHOUT a receipt each calendar year. After a customer reaches the $500 threshold, no returns or exchanges will be permitted unless they are accompanied by a valid proof of purchase. ALL returns or exchanges without a receipt will receive a Rural King Merchandise Gift Card for store use. No other form of payment will be provided. All product exchanges without a receipt are subject to the same rules and guidelines as returns.


Cancelling Online Orders. If you wish to cancel an online order, please contact customer service at 1-800-561-1752 or by emailing [email protected]. Customer service must confirm the cancellation request. If your order has already been prepared for shipping, it cannot be cancelled. If you have ordered a product online and set up in store pick up (BOPIS), please call the store location on your order, and that specific store will gladly assist in the cancellation process.


Returning Online Orders. To return an order placed online, the Customer is encouraged to simply bring the item to the nearest Rural King location in its original packaging. The product must be undamaged and in like new condition. Please keep in mind, Customers must also bring a copy of the order number or proof of purchase to process the return in-store. Visit our website to find a store near you. To initiate the return process via shipment, Customers will simply contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-561-1752. Our Customer Service team will then provide you with a Return Authorization Number. This Return Authorization Number will need to be attached to the package to process the return.


Items that are missing a valid proof of purchase, arrive damaged, or are missing the original packaging may be subject to refusal. Customer is responsible for all shipping costs for non-defective items. Please note: The Customer will not be refunded until the item is received in the condition described above.


Large Item Returns. Be sure to carefully inspect all heavy item(s) deliveries for damage before signing the bill of lading “BOL.” If the large item arrives damaged or defective, you must note this on the shipping receipt or BOL and refuse delivery to avoid paying return freight charges. If this is not completed, you, the Customer, will be responsible for returning freight charges back to the shipping location.


In addition to the above, Customer will be responsible for the freight costs in the following instances:


  • Missed delivery appointment
  • Refused or returned a non-damaged, non-defective item

In certain situations, Rural King may opt to provide replacement parts and/or a service technician instead of returning the whole item.
