Return to Stock Policy & Process
 

At DOW Technologies, we understand not every product is a perfect fit. If you can answer YES to these three questions, we can help with a No Hassle return:

  • Was the product purchased from DOW?
  • Will it be returned in the original packaging?
  • Is the product in like-new factory sealed re-sellable condition?

Restocking fees may apply.*

You may request a Return Authorization anytime, 24 hours a day. Complete our RMA form and provide any necessary pictures to begin the process. Our team will be in touch after we receive the form.
