At OakTree, we are proud of the brands we carry and are confident in their quality, but if you are looking to return or exchange your order, we are here to help!  

Most new, unused merchandise can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of purchase with a valid receipt unless noted in our Return Policy Exceptions & Exclusions. Before purchasing, please note our policy regarding machinery, power tools, special order and custom products below. To be eligible for a refund, merchandise must be unused, include all the original components, be in the original, undamaged packaging and in the condition in which they were received unless defective or damaged in shipping. Refunds will be issued in the original form of payment.

Any product that has shown signs of misuse or neglect will not be eligible for return.

Items marked clearance or final sale at time of purchase cannot be returned.

Return Policy Exceptions & Exclusions

If you receive an item with a manufacturing defect, simply return the product to OakTree for a refund or exchange. Defective products will be replaced or refunded in accordance with the manufacturer's warranty.

If your shipped item arrives damaged, you receive the wrong item or if you are missing items, we will make it right at no cost to you!

Buyers who wish to return unused machinery or items that must be shipped via a freight carrier are responsible for all return shipping or freight costs as well as a 25% restocking fee. These products must be shipped back in their original, undamaged crate or box (freight shipments must be returned on a skid). Any costs incurred by damage to machinery or other merchandise during return transit is the customers responsibility and it may lessen or forfeit your refund. We strongly recommend insuring your item(s).

In cases where there is a manufacturing defect, the customer must contact the manufacturer directly and work with their technical support team. If the manufacturer is able to resolve the issue or send replacement parts, they will do so and the item will not be eligible for return to the manufacturer. If the manufacturer deems the product unrepairable, OakTree will work with the manufacturer to arrange return freight and replacement at no cost to the customer. Please take note of each manufacturer’s unique warranty and guarantee policy before making your purchase. If you have questions regarding a manufacturer’s warranty, or how to reach their technical support team, give us a call at 260-637-0054. Manufacturer drop-ship items may not allow returns or may be subject to a restocking fee subject to the manufacturers policy. Upon delivery, if you suspect damage to your machine caused during transit, we suggest that you deny delivery. 

Power tools: Used power tools (except for brands with Satisfaction Guarantees – see below) cannot be returned and are subject only to the manufacturer's warranty.

Products with Satisfaction Guarantees: Some of our products carry a Satisfaction Guarantee from the manufacturer. If you are not satisfied with your purchase of one of these items, please contact us within the return timeframe listed below and we will assist you with your return. If returning by mail, any return shipping costs not covered by the manufacturer’s Satisfaction Guarantee will be the customers responsibility. Please note that only tools are covered under the Satisfaction Guarantee – used accessories and/or consumables are not covered and will not be accepted back for any reason.

Manufacturer Warranties

Most of our products come with a manufacturer warranty of 30 days to five years depending on the product and manufacturer.  If you have a problem with a product and would like it repaired or replaced under warranty, you need to contact the manufacturer directly as they are responsible for their warranty claims and will have their own conditions and guidelines.  We are happy to provide you with any contact info you may need.
