Damaged, Wrong or Defective Item? | EZ Able

What Do I Do If My Item Arrives Damaged, Wrong or Defective?

Quick answer

Report shipping damage within 2 days of delivery, and a wrong or defective item within 30 days of your order date. Open a support ticket with clear photos of the item and packaging, and we'll email you the resolution and next steps, usually within 2 business days.

Report deadlines

  • Damaged in shipping: tell us within 2 days of the delivery date. Carriers give us a very short window to file shipping damage claims, so the sooner the better.
  • Wrong or defective item: tell us within 30 days of the order date.
  • Issues reported after these windows may not qualify for a resolution.

You always have the right to refuse a delivery that is damaged, defective or the wrong item.

Good to know

Large items such as shower stalls ship by freight, usually in a big crate. Inspect the shipment before you sign for it and write any damage on the delivery receipt. That one step makes a damage claim much easier.

How to report the problem

  1. Go to our support ticket form.
  1. Create a ticket and describe what happened.
  1. Attach photos that show:
    • the whole item, out of the box (if it is safe, inspect it even when the packaging is damaged)
    • the packaging, if you still have it
    • clear close-ups of the damage
  2. Submit the ticket. Please allow 2 business days for us to process it. You'll get an email with your resolution and next steps, including return instructions if we need the item back.

If we ask you to return the item

To make your order right, we need photos of the damage, and sometimes the original item returned. If you're asked to send it back and it doesn't arrive at the returns center, we may reverse the refund or charge for the replacement.

No original box? A similar box works fine. We aren't able to provide boxes or packing materials for returns.

Used, open-box and clearance items

Once an item has been used, a defect is handled under the manufacturer's warranty. To check an item's warranty, scroll down its product page and open the Warranty tab. We can also help with open-box and clearance items, but the resolution options are more limited.

Something missing from your box?

Orders with more than one box can arrive in separate shipments, on different days. Check the packing list to see which pieces are part of your order and which may still be on the way. If a piece is still missing, open a support ticket with your order number and a photo of what arrived.

Common questions

How long do I have to report shipping damage?

2 days from the delivery date. Carriers have short claim windows, so report it right away, with photos.

Can I refuse a damaged delivery?

Yes. You can refuse any item that arrives damaged, defective or wrong.

What if I threw away the original box?

Return the item in a similar box. We can't supply boxes or packaging for returns.

Is a defect covered after I've used the item?

Defects in used items fall under the manufacturer's warranty. Check the Warranty tab on the product page for details.
