If shipping damage is noted, sign for the delivery as damaged and contact BG EXPO GROUP, LLC immediately.

BG EXPO GROUP, LLC will process the claim information and replace the affected product.

This number must be used in regards to all correspondence with the issue and adhered to any packaging sent to BG EXPO GROUP, LLC for assessment. Failure to adhere to RMA/Case information to a package will delay the claim/warranty process.
Should you need to return a product due to order cancellation or any reason other than a warranty matter, BG EXPO GROUP, LLC reserves the right to carry out a full inspection of the product before accepting the return. All returns of this nature must be noted to a BG EXPO GROUP, LLC Representative 72 hours after receipt of the product and are susceptible to a 25% restocking fee/charge.

Order cancellations must be confirmed and approved by a BG EXPO GROUP, LLC Representative. The cancellation of a production order for which BG EXPO GROUP, LLC has produced or ordered raw materials may result in BG EXPO GROUP, LLC fully charging for materials and labor, or imposing a minimum cancellation fee of up to 50% of the purchase/sale price.
BG EXPO GROUP, LLC reserves the right to change prices or product designs as well as discontinue a product at any time without further notice. We are continually improving and modifying our product range and reserve the right to vary the specifications without prior notice.
