ALWAYS CHECK YOUR PACKAGES UPON RECIVING THEM and REACH OUT IF ANYTHING IS MISSING OR DAMAGED.
PLEASE DO NOT SET THE BOX ASIDE AND FORGET ABOUT IT FOR LATER.
We understand, sometimes life happens and tomorrows project becomes next years project instead. However, due to the amount of time that passes after receiving an order, it can be difficult to ensure that everything stays together or isn’t lost, and it becomes a sticky situation on where the blame may lie.
To protect our business, If you order a product and do not use it immediately, please hold onto your packaging materials and boxes. We ask that you ALWAYS review your shipment upon receiving it, regardless it you are able to install it soon or not.
If you have an order that is not opened within 30 days of receiving it, we WILL bill you for any parts that may be needed or missing along with shipping costs.
This is due to the fact that if we do not hear from you in that time frame, we assume that the order was fulfilled and no issues had arisen after, which is why we ask that you ALWAYS check your packages upon receiving them.
We will always fulfill orders as they are placed. Should you believe you you have received product that does not fit your vehicle but was ordered incorrectly, you will need to pay for replacements and/or shipping of the correct Item,
We will ALWAYS correct mistakes that we make, however, we only know what’s on an invoice when an order is placed online. We cannot and will not provide free product in cases where the item ordered was clearly indicated to fit a certain vehicle or trim type.

While we do our best to ensure your order is properly packaged before it leaves our facility, on occasion products may get damaged, whether itās during the transport process, a mishandled box, or a delivery driver having a bad day. If this happens please reach out to us via [email protected]Ā with pictures as soon as possible. Then follow these steps:
- Do not accept your delivery without taking note of any damages that might have occurred on the delivery form. Even small holes or creases can mean the package has been dropped and damaged during delivery.

AAL will facilitate a claim, on the customers behalf with the carrier, but it is subject to the conditions listed above being met. - If the damage is so severe that it is obvious the product inside has been damaged, do not sign for the item and refuse your delivery.
