Shipping & Refund Policy

Shipping

General Shipping Terms

  • All items ship as they become available or in stock.

  • If you require special shipping arrangements, please note them when placing your order. Additional charges may apply for special requests.

  • Shipping charges shown at checkout apply to the contiguous 48 U.S. states. Deliveries to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and other non-contiguous locations will incur additional charges.

  • Shipping charges are good faith estimates. If actual costs are higher due to weight, size, or delivery location, customers will be contacted prior to fulfillment. Customers are responsible for any additional charges, or the order may be canceled.

Delivery Responsibility

  • Once a package is marked “Delivered” by the carrier, Outpost Vans is not responsible for lost or stolen packages.

  • Customers must work directly with the carrier to resolve delivery disputes. Outpost Vans will provide reasonable assistance but is not liable for replacement costs.

Damaged Shipments

  • Any shipping damage must be reported within 7 calendar days of delivery.

  • Customers must retain all packaging materials for carrier inspection. Failure to do so may void the claim.

Refused Deliveries

  • If a shipment is refused for any reason other than documented damage, return shipping charges, restocking fees, and any carrier storage fees will be deducted from any refund.

Returns & Exchanges

We want every customer to be satisfied with their purchase. Outpost Vans accepts returns under the following conditions:

  • Return Window: Returns must be initiated within 30 days of purchase.

  • Condition of Product: Returned items must be in new, unused condition and include all original packaging. Products that have been installed, used, drilled, modified, or damaged are not eligible for return.

  • Custom & Special Orders: Custom-fabricated items, made-to-order products, and products with custom colors or modifications are non-refundable and cannot be canceled once production begins.

  • Closeout & Open-Box Sales: All sales of clearance, closeout, or “open box” products are final with no returns accepted.

  • Non-Returnable Consumables: Consumables such as adhesives, fluids, electrical wiring, and hardware kits are not eligible for return once opened.

  • Return Authorization: Customers must obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) from Outpost Vans prior to shipping items back. Unauthorized returns will not be accepted.

Refunds & Restocking

  • If a return is approved for reasons other than a defect, the customer is responsible for return shipping, packaging, and insurance.

  • Customers are responsible for insuring return shipments. Outpost Vans is not liable for lost or damaged return shipments.

  • Refunds are processed after inspection of the returned item and may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 20%.

  • Orders canceled that exceed $500 are subject to a 5% non-refundable cancellation fee to cover credit card processing costs.

  • Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method within 7–10 business days of receiving and inspecting the returned product. Shipping costs are non-refundable.

  • Items returned in less than new condition, or missing components/packaging, may qualify only for partial refunds at Outpost Vans’ discretion.

Exchanges

  • Exchanges may be approved on a case-by-case basis for eligible products.

  • Customers are responsible for return shipping and any price difference on exchanged items.

Manufacturer Defects & Errors

  • If Outpost Vans determines that a product is defective due to manufacturing, we will cover the cost of return shipping and provide a replacement, repair, or refund at our discretion.

Digital Products

  • Digital products and downloadable content (such as CAD files, design plans, or digital resources) are non-refundable once accessed or downloaded.

Gift Cards & Store Credit

  • Gift cards and store credit are non-refundable and cannot be redeemed for cash except where required by California law.

Customer Responsibilities

  • Fitment: Customers are responsible for ensuring product compatibility with their vehicle make, model, and year prior to purchase. Outpost Vans is not liable for costs associated with incorrect orders, shipping, or installation.

  • Installation: Outpost Vans strongly recommends installation by a qualified professional. Improper installation may result in product failure, vehicle damage, or safety hazards. Customers who self-install assume all associated risks.

  • Maintenance: Aftermarket equipment requires proper inspection and maintenance. Worn components can compromise vehicle safety. Maintenance is solely the responsibility of the vehicle owner.

  • Legal Compliance: Vehicle modifications may be regulated under state law (such as lift heights, lighting, or emissions). It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

California Consumer Rights

Nothing in this policy limits your rights under California law, including the right to return defective products. These protections exist in addition to the terms described above.

Force Majeure

Refunds for delayed or canceled orders caused by events beyond Outpost Vans’ control (including supply chain disruptions, strikes, or natural disasters) will be handled at our discretion.

Fraud & Abuse Prevention

Outpost Vans reserves the right to deny returns, exchanges, or refunds to customers who demonstrate excessive or abusive return practices.
