Shipping Policy

The customer is responsible to inspect all shipments before the delivery driver leaves.  If the shipment is damaged, the customer will need to sign the delivery receipt "damaged". The customer will also need to take pictures of the damage.  This will help Soda Dispenser Depot in filing a claim.  If nothing is signed as damaged, there is little that Soda Dispenser Depot will be able to do.   All shipments are properly banded and packed to avoid damage.
  Soda Dispenser Depot is not responsible for damaged shipments.

The customer is responsible for duties and taxes on International shipments.  This includes replacement parts as well as first time orders.


Order Cancellations:

You may cancel your order for any reason, and receive a refund.  If you want to cancel your order, please do so quickly.  Most of our products ship within 2-4 business days.  Cancellations or refusals of orders, which have already shipped, are subject to a minumum 20% ($10 minimum) handling and restocking charge.  Heavy or oversized items that ship via freight carrier are also subject to return freight charges.  Cancellations of complete systems must be made before the day of shipping or they will be subject to a restocking fee.

You must receive a confirmation of your cancellation either by email or fax for it to be officially cancelled.
