Return Policies
The only reason I give Home Outlet Direct a 3 star rating is that they pretty much lie by omission concerning returns. Since we are all now relegated to buying a lot more things online, it has become clear that shipping large bulky items is an issue since they are not packaged to ride around in a truck for 2,000 miles. I read the return policy and it basically said that if a product was damaged, takes pictures of it and email them to the company and they would repair or replace. The bill of lading on the merchandise I received told a very different story -- 20% restocking fee and ship back at my expense. Luckily my order arrived pretty much intact, but it would be nice if manufacturers would start packaging items more securely and for single shipment. It would also be nice if online retailers were up front about their return policies.

Hi David, thank you for your feedback. We shipped your unit direct from Duromax's warehouse and that return policy is our contract with them, not the customer. Home Outlet Direct pays for the 20% restocking fee and shipping costs when there is a return. We incur that cost to ensure that our customers have a great experience when returning an item. I promise you that we honor and follow the return policy on our website. We NEVER charge shipping for a return. We hope you enjoy your generator and if you need any further assistance please feel free to email me at [email protected].
