Why is 100% prepayment required?
Full payment must be received before we can enter an order into our production system. Since our prices as much as 30%-40% off list prices, our customers generally find this to be a reasonable trade off.
What if I am a U.S. government contracting officer and prepayment is not possible?
The WAWF Fast Payment Procedure (FAR 52.213-1) is an accepted substitute for 100% prepayment.
Can I get a demo of equipment before purchasing?
We offer free walk-in demos and training on all our equipment at ten major trade shows in cities across the country every year. Click here for a list of meetings at which we exhibit. Since we do not have local branches in cities other than our headquarters in Boston, we are unable to offer free demos at specific organizational facilities. However, customers are welcome to purchase equipment and try it risk-free for 30 days – if the product is unsatisfactory for any reason, it can be returned to us for a 100% refund.
What is the return policy?
All products returned within 30 days is eligible for a full refund of the equipment value, minus shipping and any travel costs incurred during installation. We do not charge a restocking fee as long as equipment is returned in its original condition and original packaging. A refund check will be issued after inspection is completed, generally within 30 days after equipment is received at the manufacturer’s site.
