Before returning any product, contact Aircraft Spruce Customer Service as a RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number and return shipping instructions are required to process a return.

CORE RETURN POLICY

Every manufacturer has different policies regarding what is acceptable for core returns. Unless prior authorization is obtained from an Aircraft Spruce Customer Service representative, all cores must be "Like" part numbers and must be in repairable condition. We are no longer able to accept unrepairable cores.

All core returns must be returned with the core label provided at the time of purchase, or must clearly reference our Core RMA number on paperwork inside the box. The customer will be responsible for all fees assessed by the manufacturer for substandard or unlike cores. All cores must be returned within 60 days of the original ship date. If you did not receive a Core label referencing the RMA number for the core return, please contact our Customer Service department for assistance.

Any unit being returned for core credit shall be in the same condition as removed from the engine and/or aircraft. Cores must be complete and cannot be disassembled. Units that are rusty, corroded, or cannot be overhauled for any reason, will be classified as scrap, having no value. A percentage of the core value will be deducted for all missing or damaged parts. At no time will the damaged or missing parts charge on any unit exceed the core value of that unit.
