Customer Help

Website: https://www.labglovebox.com Effective Date: July 15, 2026

1. Core 30-Day Return Window

You have 30 calendar days from delivery date to submit a return request for eligible standard products. All return applications submitted after this 30-day window will be denied for money-back returns and can only be handled under our official product warranty terms.

2. Return Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for full refund returns, all returned goods must meet all criteria below:

1. Equipment is unused, unmodified, free of scratches, wear, test traces or damage from improper operation/storage.
2. Complete original industrial packaging, foam, wooden crates, user manuals, controllers, gloves, gaskets, filters and all original accessories are returned intact.
3. Factory serial labels, certification stickers and warning marks remain unremoved or torn.
4. Valid order number and delivery proof must be provided for verification.
5. No lab testing, chemical experiments, custom refitting or disassembly has been performed on the unit.

Non-Returnable Items (No Refund Available)

• Fully custom glove boxes built to unique lab specifications (custom size, anti-corrosion coating, integrated test stations)
• Opened or used consumables: disposable gloves, catalyst media, molecular sieve filters, sealing gaskets
• Clearance bulk orders marked “Final Sale” at checkout
• Goods damaged post-delivery by customer mishandling, wrong gas supply or unauthorized disassembly

3. Mandatory RMA Authorization Process

1. Contact our support team via website contact form or support email before shipping any goods back. Provide your order number, delivery date, return reason and clear photos/videos of product condition.
2. We will issue a unique RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number within 2 business days. Packages returned without an RMA number will be rejected by our warehouse.
3. Repack items securely in original crates, mark the RMA number clearly on the outer shipping case, and ship the goods back within 7 calendar days after receiving RMA approval.
4. We highly recommend insured, trackable freight for all large glove box systems to avoid transit loss or damage.

4. Shipping Cost Responsibility

Scenario A: Return caused by our error (free return shipping)

If items arrive defective, damaged in transit, missing parts or wrong model shipped, we cover all inbound return freight. Free pickup service is available for large glove box units. Original delivery fees are fully covered by us.

Scenario B: Voluntary customer return (customer bears all freight)

If you return products due to changed lab plans, over-ordering or personal dissatisfaction, you pay all return shipping, customs clearance fees and cargo insurance. Original outbound delivery charges are non-refundable.

5. Refund Inspection & Processing Timeline

1. After receiving returned goods, our technical team completes full cosmetic and functional inspection within 3–5 business days, and emails you inspection results.
2. If fully approved, refunds will be issued to your original payment channel within 5–7 business days; extra bank processing delays (1–2 billing cycles) may occur based on your financial institution.
3. Partial restocking fee deductions: If goods show trial assembly marks, missing packaging or incomplete accessories, we deduct 15%–30% of the original order value as a restocking fee. Severe damage or missing core modules leads to full return rejection with zero refund.
4. Non-refundable charges: All customs duties, import taxes, destination delivery surcharges and technical service fees cannot be refunded under any return situation.

6. Exchange Policy Alternative

Within the 30-day return period, you may request an exchange for different standard Lab2000 glove box models instead of a full refund:

• Our shipping error exchange: We cover all inbound and outbound logistics fees.
• Customer-initiated exchange: You pay return freight for original goods plus delivery fees for the replacement unit.
• Exchanges depend on real-time warehouse stock; out-of-stock models will switch to standard refund processing.

7. Pre-Shipment Order Cancellation

Unshipped orders can be canceled for a full refund with zero fees. If custom glove box production has started, a 25% production cancellation fee will apply.

8. Warranty vs. 30-Day Return Policy

Manufacturing defects appearing after the 30-day window fall under our global warranty service instead of return & refund:

• We supply free replacement parts, remote troubleshooting or factory repair for confirmed factory faults.
• Full return and refund post 30 days is only allowed if our engineers confirm the unit is irreparable due to production defects.
• Damage from improper operation, chemical corrosion or self-disassembly voids all refund and free repair rights.

9. International Order Reminder

For cross-border returns with no fault on our side, all return logistics, export/import tariffs and customs charges are the buyer’s sole responsibility.

10. Policy Update Notice

LabGlovebox reserves the right to revise this returns policy anytime. Updated versions will be published on https://www.labglovebox.com with a new effective date and apply only to orders placed after revision.

Step 1: Notify our support team immediately

If you receive incorrect products, wrong glove box model, mismatched spare parts or missing items, please contact customer service within 48 hours after delivery signature. Provide the following complete information:

1. Your unique order number
2. Clear photos or short videos including: outer shipping crate, item serial number, product appearance, packing list inside the package
3. Detailed description of what you ordered vs. what you actually received

Step 2: Free return & replacement service (Our full liability)

This error is our responsibility, so you do not bear any shipping or handling fees:

1. We will issue an official RMA return authorization number free of charge within 2 working days.
2. We arrange all return freight and door-to-door pickup for large glove box equipment at our cost.
3. After we receive and inspect the wrong goods, we will send the correct items to you as soon as stock allows, covering all outbound delivery fees.

Optional alternative: Full refund instead of replacement

If you no longer need the correct product after receiving the wrong shipment, you can choose a full refund of your order value:

1. Return the incorrect goods following our RMA shipping instructions; all return shipping costs are on us.
2. Once warehouse inspection is completed, we will process the full refund to your original payment method within 5–7 business days. No restocking fees will be deducted.

Important requirements to qualify for free correction

1. Do not disassemble, modify, test or damage the incorrectly delivered equipment; keep all original packaging, accessories, manuals intact.
2. Do not discard shipping wooden cases, labels or packing lists, as these are required for inspection.
3. All claims for wrong items submitted more than 48 hours after delivery will need extra review and may affect fast replacement progress.

What if you have already used the wrong item?

If the incorrect product has been assembled, operated or chemically tested, we can still arrange exchange, but a depreciation fee based on product condition will be deducted from your order.

Step 1: Stop signing and collect evidence right away

1. If obvious cracks, dents, water damage or broken packaging is found before signing the delivery document, refuse to sign for the package directly.
2. Take clear photos and short videos covering the whole outer wooden crate, damaged areas, internal equipment, accessories and packing list completely as proof.
3. Contact our customer support team within 24 hours upon receiving the shipment. Claims submitted after 24 hours will delay processing and may not be fully compensated.
4. Prepare your order number and all visual evidence when contacting us.

Step 2: Solutions we provide (All costs covered by us)

Damage caused by insufficient factory packaging or logistics transit is our full responsibility, and you have two options:

Option A: Free replacement shipment

1. We will send you a free RMA authorization number within 2 working days.
2. We arrange and cover all freight costs to collect the damaged unit; large glove box equipment can enjoy free door-to-door pickup.
3. After receiving and inspecting the damaged goods, we will manufacture and ship a brand-new intact unit to you with zero extra delivery fees.

Option B: Full refund

If you no longer need the equipment, you may apply for a full refund of your order payment:

1. Return all damaged goods and original packaging following our shipping guide, all return shipping fees are on our side.
2. Once warehouse inspection is finished, the full payment will be returned to your original payment account within 5–7 business days, with no restocking fees deducted.

Option C: Free spare parts repair

If only individual parts (gloves, sensors, gaskets, glass view windows) are broken while the main cabinet remains intact, we can send replacement spare parts free of charge via air freight without returning the whole machine.

Key rules for damage compensation

1. Do not attempt self-repair, disassembly, chemical testing or modification of damaged equipment before our technical team assesses the loss. Unauthorized operation will void full compensation eligibility.
2. All original shipping crates, foam protection, labels and accessories must be kept intact for inspection. Discarding packaging will affect compensation progress.
3. We provide cargo insurance for all glove box shipments; we will coordinate with freight forwarders to file insurance claims on your behalf.

Exclusions (We cannot take liability)

LabGlovebox will not bear compensation fees if damage occurs due to:

• Improper unloading, lifting or storage conducted by you or local logistics staff after delivery
• Damage discovered long after delivery without timely photo evidence
• Man-made scratches and minor cosmetic marks that do not affect equipment normal operation

Core Rule Before Shipping Returns

You cannot ship returns to a fixed generic address directly. Our dedicated receiving warehouse address, exact consignee name and special shipping marking requirements will be sent exclusively to your registered email after we approve your RMA request and issue your unique RMA number.

1. Why there is no public fixed return address

1. Our factory warehouse has multiple receiving zones for different global return shipments; the designated receiving dock varies based on product type (large glove box crates, small spare parts, consumables).
2. Cross-border returned goods require dedicated customs filing documents matched to your RMA case, tied to a designated receiving contact.
3. Returns without the custom-assigned warehouse address will be rejected, returned or lost in our logistics sorting center.

2. How to get your exclusive return mailing address

1. Submit your return request via our website contact form or support email, attach your order number, product photos and return reason to apply for RMA authorization.
2. Our customer service team will review your application within 2 working days. Once approved, we will send a full return instruction email including:
   • Full detailed warehouse receiving address (country, city, district, street, postal code)
   • Specific consignee name & receiving contact phone
   • Mandatory marking format for the outer shipping crate: RMA# [Your RMA Number] + Original Order Number
   • Customs declaration tips for international return shipments
3. Print this email and attach a copy inside your return package for warehouse inspection reference.

3. Critical Shipping Requirements

1. Clearly print the full RMA number on all sides of your original wooden shipping crate. Packages without visible RMA labels will be refused upon arrival.
2. Keep all original packaging, accessories, manuals and serial labels intact inside the shipment.
3. For oversized Lab2000 glove box systems: Use insured, trackable sea/air freight as recommended in our RMA email; we offer free door pickup service if the return is caused by our shipping error (wrong item, damaged goods).
4. Ship the returned goods within 7 calendar days after receiving the RMA address email. Expired RMA numbers become invalid and require a new application.

4. If you cannot find the RMA address email

• Check your email spam/junk folder first.
• Send a follow-up message with your order number and RMA number to our support mailbox to request a resend of return shipping instructions.

Policy Note

LabGlovebox support only assists orders purchased directly via labglovebox.com. We cannot provide service for goods bought from third-party resellers, agents or offline distributors without valid official order records.

Act as soon as you spot the address mistake — solutions differ based on your order status.

Case 1: Order unpaid / In production / Not yet shipped (Best time to fix for free)

1. Log into your account and check your order status first.
2. Contact our support team immediately via website contact form, live chat or support email within 24 hours of placing the order.
3. Submit full details:
   • Your order number
   • Original wrong shipping address
   • Complete correct address (country, city, street, postal code, valid contact phone)
4. Our backend team will update your delivery address free of charge and send a confirmation email within 2 working days.
5. For custom glove boxes already in production: Address revisions are still allowed before packaging, but minor delays to shipment may occur.

Case 2: Order packed & labeled but not collected by freight forwarder

We can attempt to intercept the cargo and reprint shipping labels with your new address at no extra cost. You must send the full corrected address urgently; interception success cannot be fully guaranteed due to tight warehouse scheduling.

Case 3: Goods have already been dispatched (Tracking number issued)

Once items leave our warehouse, our system cannot edit the official shipping address:

1. You must contact the logistics carrier directly using your tracking number to apply for shipment redirection.
2. All rerouting fees, customs adjustment charges, transit delays and delivery risks are fully your responsibility.
3. We cannot cover extra costs caused by late address correction after shipment.

Case 4: Shipment failed & returned to our warehouse due to wrong address

If the courier cannot complete delivery and sends goods back to our facility:

1. Two options for you:
   • Option A: Reship to the correct address. You pay all new outbound shipping, customs and handling fees.
   • Option B: Request a refund. We will refund only the product value; original delivery freight and return logistics fees will be deducted.
2. We will notify you via email once returned goods arrive at our warehouse.

Important Reminders

1. Always double-check full address, postal code and phone number before submitting payment. LabGlovebox takes no liability for failed delivery, lost goods or extra logistics costs resulting from buyer address input errors.
2. Updating your default address in your account address book only applies to future new orders; it cannot fix addresses for existing submitted orders.
3. If you only notice the mistake after delivery is completed and goods are signed for at the wrong location, LabGlovebox cannot assist with retrieving items sent to an invalid address.

General Rule

Order changes and cancellations are allowed only before goods are dispatched. Once the shipment leaves our warehouse with tracking documents issued, orders cannot be modified or canceled, and you must follow our formal returns policy to return items after delivery.

1. Cancel or modify unpaid orders

If your order status shows “Pending Payment”, you can cancel or edit order details freely in your account’s My Orders page without any fees. Available adjustments:

• Change product models, quantities, add spare parts or remove items
• Update shipping address, contact info, delivery shipping method
• Adjust billing information

2. Modify / Cancel paid orders (Not shipped yet)

Contact customer support via live chat, contact form or official email within 24 hours after payment confirmation and provide your full order number. We support the following adjustments free of charge before packaging:

Supported changes

1. Update shipping address, contact phone, postal code
2. Switch shipping method (sea freight / air freight / express)
3. Add or remove accessories, replace standard glove box models of the same series
4. Adjust delivery schedule for standard in-stock equipment

Order Cancellation Fees

1. Standard in-stock glove boxes & spare parts (No production started): Full refund with zero cancellation fees. Funds will be returned to your original payment channel within 5–7 working days after cancellation approval.
2. Custom glove box orders (Custom size, anti-corrosion coating, integrated test station, drawings confirmed & production started): A 25% production cancellation fee of the total order value will be deducted to cover material and labor losses. The remaining balance will be refunded.

Limitations for modification requests

If your custom equipment has finished production and is fully packed, major changes to size, structure or configuration will not be accepted; you may only request address or shipping method adjustments.

3. Orders already packed, waiting for freight pickup

We will attempt to intercept your cargo and apply requested changes, but interception success is not guaranteed due to tight warehouse logistics schedules. If interception fails, the order will ship as originally confirmed, and you can submit a return application after receiving goods.

4. Orders already shipped (Tracking number generated)

No order changes or cancellations can be processed in our backend system. Two solutions are available:

1. If you entered an incorrect shipping address: Contact the logistics carrier directly with your tracking number to apply for redirection; all rerouting costs and risks are your responsibility.
2. If you no longer need the goods: Wait for delivery, then submit an RMA return request following our returns policy. You will bear all return shipping fees for voluntary customer returns.

Important Reminders

1. All modification and cancellation requests must be submitted via official support channels; private messages or late oral requests will not be recognized.
2. Always double-check product specifications, shipping address and shipping method before payment to avoid extra fees or delivery delays.
3. If your order is split into multiple shipments, partial cancellation of unshipped sub-orders is allowed; shipped parts cannot be canceled separately.

Yes, pre-orders are available for all sold-out standard Lab2000 glove boxes, vacuum pumps, purification modules and bulk spare parts. Limited-edition discontinued models cannot be pre-ordered.
