All items must be in new (mint) condition. Returned items cannot show evidence of use or wear, dirt, or blemishes of any kind. Merchandise must be returned in its original packaging and should include all supplied materials, instructions, warranty cards, original accessories, hardware, and any software provided.

Software that has been opened cannot be returned and is not eligible for exchange. Please contact the software vendor for Technical Support if there are issues with the download or installation of the product.

We suggest that merchandise be securely packaged and insured for the full retail value, as Orion is not responsible for lost or damaged packages. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. If your purchase was made from the Orion website, we can locate your proof of purchase with your name and billing address. However, if your purchase was made from one of our retail stores your receipt may be required.

     • You return a non-defective or undamaged product
     • You refuse a delivery (unless the package was damaged in shipment)

All returned items are fully inspected upon their arrival back at the return center.

We reserve the right to refuse a refund of the purchase price if the returned item is not in its new, original and unopened condition.

Damaged Returns
In the event a product arrives damaged, all details of the damage need to be clearly noted on all copies of the BOL (bill of lading) and Delivery Receipt upon your inspection during your delivery in order for us to assist you with a return or replacement. In addition, Orion customer Service must be notified within 5 business days. It is required that you retain all damaged property and packaging materials and make such available for carrier inspection.

By signing for your delivery without noting the problem with your shipment on the delivery paperwork, you affirm your item was delivered to you with no damage.

If your shipment is severely damaged, please refuse the shipment, note on the BOL (bill of lading) "refused due to damage" and contact Orion Customer Service immediately.

If you do not have time for an inspection or the driver rushes you, YOU MUST WRITE "subject to inspection" next to your signature on the Delivery Receipt and BOL (bill of lading).

If you find concealed damage after the carrier leaves, it is required that you retain all damaged property and packaging materials, including a pallet, if applicable, and make such available for carrier inspection. Immediately contact Orion Customer Service to report the situation. Please include package condition, how it was received, and a description of the damage. If possible, please take pictures of the damaged areas of the product. We will work to resolve the issue with the carrier on your behalf. A refund, replacement, or repair will not be available until the claim is resolved with the carrier.

Orion Customer Service is available at 800-447-1001, Monday through Friday 6:00 AM - 5:00 PM Pacific Time and Saturday 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM Pacific Time. We are also available by email at orders@telescope.com.
