  Smiths Detection Inc Return Policy

Smiths Detection Inc accepts returns of purchased items within 30 days of the date of shipment. We will issue a credit for products that were shipped incorrectly or that arrived defective/damaged in transit.

Smiths Detection Inc does not issue credit for freight costs incurred to ship original order or for the shipping of a returned item.

Smiths Detection Inc must receive the returned item within 14 days after a Return Merchandise Authorization number has been issued. An assigned RMA number is valid for 14 days only and will expire on the 15th day after the date of issuance, at which time any returned products will be refused and no credits will be issued.

Items are required to be returned in as-new condition, in original packaging with the packing slip, original shipping carton or similar packaging.

Smiths Detection Inc Refusal Policy

Shipped items that are either refused by the customer or cannot be delivered by the carrier, will be returned to the Smiths Detection Inc and credited for the product cost and tax, less shipping and handling. Credits usually take 7-10 business days from the time we receive your item(s).

It is the customer's responsibility to make immediate and adequate arrangements with the shipping company to accept a shipment after the first failed delivery attempt.

How do I return my product?

Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) instructions for products bought on mysmithsdetection.com within the last 30 days:

1. Request a Return

To request a return, you will need to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number so your request can be processed. A RMA number can be obtained from our Customer Service Team by calling 1-(800)-297-0955 or by emailing your request to customer.support@smiths-detection.com .


2. Write your RMA number on your return

Write your RMA number clearly on the outside of the package to be returned. All products must be returned in the original manufacturer packaging. If your product was shipped in a standard carton, please be sure to return using the same or similar packaging. When using the original carton, please ensure that all previous shipping labels or other markings have been removed or covered completely.


3. Ship the product back to us

You must send the product back to us using UPS or FedEx. Smiths Detection Inc will not be responsible for items lost in transit to our returns processing center or any return that does not have a signed Proof of Delivery. Please note that standard USPS Priority Mail does not provide the required proof of delivery and must not be used. We urge you to use UPS or FedEx. It is your responsibility to retain a copy of the return’s tracking number in the event that the item is lost in transit.

Send your Smiths Detection Inc return to this address:

Smiths Detection Returns Center
Attn: RMA # _____
30 Chapin Road, Unit 1206

Please keep the shipping carrier's Package Tracking Number as proof of your return.
