Returns & Exchanges
Low Price Guarantee:
We guarantee that our prices meet or beat any other site's prices for the same product! Our goal is to make high quality products affordable and competitively priced. If you find the same product somewhere else for a lower price within 30 days of purchase, simply email us or call and we'll match that price! Just make sure the product has the same components and is available from that merchant. We will need to verify the product availability and information before a price difference refund is made. This does not apply to fulfillment house merchants, auction sites, and merchants who sell other products other than survival kits and related products.
Damaged Merchandise:
Damaged shipments from handling must be claimed with the freight carrier. If any cartons are missing or damaged, be sure to note this on the packing list notifying the driver immediately. Refuse the delivery if any products are visibly damaged. Notify us by contacting a Survival Kits Online Representative by email at
or by phone at (877) 3-DAY-KITS (877-332-9548). If you notice concealed damage after the driver has left, keep all the packing and call the freight carrier to return and inspect the damage and file a claim. We cannot be responsible for damage caused by the freight carrier.
Manufacturers Defects:
If a product appears to have a manufacturers defect, please contact a Survival Kits Online Representative by email at
or by phone at (877) 3-DAY-KITS (877-332-9548) for instructions. Do not return items to us without first contacting us to receive instructions. If an item is to be returned to us due to manufacturers defect, you must first receive a Return Authorization Number. No packages will be accepted without a Return Authorization Number written clearly on the box. Typically, we issue a pickup ticket to the delivery service for all defect returns.
Return Merchandise Policy:
Permission for any return merchandise must be secured from a Survival Kits Online representative. For questions about returning merchandise, please use our “Contact Us” Form to submit a request. Health Department regulations forbid us from accepting returns on all food, water and sanitary items. The return of non-defective merchandise when authorized may incur a 20% re-stocking fee. No packages will be accepted without a Return Authorization Number written on the box.
After a return is authorized by the Survival Kits Online representative:
- Return the item to the address given to you by the Survival Kits Online representative.
- Write the Return Authorization Number on the box.
- Keep your shipping records for proof of shipment in the event of loss of returned merchandise. Returns shipped via U.S. Postal Service (U.S.P.S.) or with a value of over $100.00 should be insured. We are not liable for return merchandise that does not reach our return department.
We will notify you via email, phone, or mail of your refund once we have received and processed the returned item. You can expect a refund in the same form of payment originally used for purchase within 30 business days of our receiving your return. Please note that we can refund shipping costs only if the return is a result of our error.
For a full explanation of our returns policy and guidelines, visit our Return Center.
Food, Water & Other Perishables
All food, water and other perishables are guaranteed to have a shelf life based on the manufacture date. In most cases, this is 5 years. Survival Kits Online will make every effort to ensure that you receive the most recent manufactured items to meet this 5-year expiration time. Due to the manufacturing time, shipping, storage, and to make our items available for delivery in an expeditious manner, the 5-year shelf life may vary up to 6 months.
From time to time, we offer clearance and/or sale items for items that may not meet the 5-year expiration date. [For example, an item’s manufactured date may be May 2008 with an expiration date of May 2013. In turn, we may sell these items at a discounted price up to one year beyond the manufacturer’s date, which would be through May 2009.] In this event, we will note this on the individual item’s purchase page.
