When does a customers 30 day start for warranty? I have a customer who ordered the splatter screen. The order was done on the 11th and shows as arrived on the 16th of Feb. She didn't use it until last week and it is all warped now. Will she be responsible for shipping now?
TIA

February 16th...she will be responsible for shipping now.

I ALWAYS remind hosts and guests to open their items and use them right away!

It helps with warranty and helps get them addicted to their products. :D

well I guess I will be paying for return shipping then cause she is a future host with a good crowd of people. I sure dont want to make her mad.
That stinks that you have to pay return shipping for a defective item though.
Thanks Janet
 
I would call and see. Maybe since it is so close, they will do it anyway. It NEVER hurts to ask!

I've had this happen before, but I went online and they took care of everything. It didn't cost me a cent.
 
Also...just for future reference, they have 30 days from the DATE THE SHOW SHIPPED.

I would try to do an adjustment anyhow, just call HO!

That's what I always heard, from the ship date! Do the adjustment online, you never know, they might not require her to send it back.
