Picking Errors:

In the event of a picking error please contact the office with the following information:

• Store name and invoice number
• Product number for invoiced item that was not received
• Product number (or UPC) for the incorrect item received
• If you would like to keep or return the incorrect item

The process for picking errors:

• The customer should call and report the error within 48 hours of reception
• We will issue a correction to credit the store for the missing item
• We will place a temporary charge for the item that was received in error on the customer account
• If the customer would like to keep the item sent in error no further action is required
• If the incorrect product is to be returned to the warehouse, we will issue an RMA for the item.
• A copy of the RMA will be sent with the driver on the customer’s next delivery date and a copy will be emailed to the customer
• Once the return is verified by the warehouse a credit will be issued to reverse the temporary charge
• If the error is caught during delivery, the driver will ask customer to fill out Product Return Form with information above to send back with incorrect item for credit.
• If customer is unable to fill out the form they must hold onto incorrect item and contact the office for a Return Authorization.

Damaged Product:

All damaged product must be reported within 48 hours of reception. Customers must submit pictures of the damage that necessitated the claim. Orders that ship via 3^rd party carriers require a Damage Claim to be filed with the driver at the time of delivery and need to be reported to Manchester within 48 hours as well.

Products that arrive in unsellable condition are eligible to be credited in full. Customers should contact the office for instructions on what to do with the damaged products. 

If the customer decides the item is “salvageable” we can authorize a 20% discount for quick-sale instead of a full credit.

If the product is still in sellable condition but the customer does not want to keep it at a discounted rate a return authorization will be issued and credit will be applied once the returned product is verified by the warehouse.

Short Shipments:

All shorts should be reported within 48 hours of reception. The customer can report the short via email (DivyaP@manchesterpet.ca) or by phone (1-800-265-5139).

All short credit requests must include:

• the customer’s name
• the invoice number the short occurred
• the part numbers/ quantities missing.

Other Credits

All other credit requests should be submitted within 365 days of the event causing the need for the credit claim. All documentation can be submitted in one of three ways:

• If the customer’s sales rep visits the customer location within 365 days the customer can give the documentation to them for submission
• The customer can give the documentation to their delivery driver provided it is ready when the driver arrives and all documentation is contained in a sealed envelope marked “attention credits”
