HOW DO I SHIP MY ROD?
If you are submitting a rod for a warranty claim, G. Loomis requires that the entire rod be returned for a warranty evaluation. Ship the damaged rod in a disposable container, prepaid and insured. Use any carrier of your choice, however, we do recommend using a service that provides you with tracking information on your parcel. G. Loomis is not liable for shipments that go missing prior to their arrival at our facilities for inspection.
CAN I CUT MY ROD TO REDUCE SHIPPING COSTS?
If you need to cut your rod, you are allowed to cut your rod one time —exactly in half. Please use painters tape to mark the area and cut the rod using a Dremel or fine tooth hack saw to ensure a clean cut.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MY ROD AFTER MY CLAIM IS PROCESSED?
G. Loomis does not keep your broken rod that was submitted for warranty or Xpeditor programs. Once your claim is processed your rod is destroyed. The rod that you sent in will be replaced
with the same or the closest comparable model in case your original rod is no longer processed. Please keep this in mind as we will not be able to return your previous model rod once it’s been processed if you do not like the replacement you are sent. As a reminder, we do not exchange or upgrade rods when a previous generation rod is replaced with a comparable current model. It is a like for like replacement.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY ROD DOES NOT PASS WARRANTY?
If the results of the inspection come back as a non-Warranty related issue, the rod is subject to an inspection fee of $15.
CAN THE SHIPPING COST BE REFUNDED IF MY ROD DOES NOT PASS A WARRANTY INSPECTION?
Unfortunately, we do not refund shipping costs for warranty items sent in for inspection. If you are unsure if your rod will pass warranty we would recommend that you use the no questions asked replacement option in the Xpeditor program.
