Become a more informed Made in America shopper by reading our buying tips

The Tip is 'Manufacturer's sites' I recently ran out of my favorite pancake syrup. I loved the brand we had been using but when I went to the grocery store, I couldn't find it. The syrup was made in Indiana and I was living in Florida at the time. I tried unsuccessfully to find it on an internet. The manufacturer is small and their products are not readily available so I thought I would try their website. They did, in fact, have their own internet store so I ordered it directly from them. Now, I always buy their made in USA maple syrup from their website and never run out. Made in America Secrets has thousands of made in USA products offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small Made in America companies are a large contributor to our economy. In fact, according to the 2008 US Census Bureau small businesses, those employing 1 to 99 employees comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. This is equivalent to 5.8 million businesses that employee over 40 million people. Most American's are unaware of how significant small business is when compared to the total size of the US economy. This website is aware of it and that is why 99% of the businesses that advertise on Made in America Secrets are small businesses. Use this web site to for a list of products made in the US- especially since it is likely that a small US manufacturer employs someone you know- your husband, wife, children, or grandchildren. When using Google to search for Made in America products often times these small made in the United States businesses never show up on page one- and most folks don't look past page one. What does this mean? The consumer has a difficult time locating that US made product. Made in America Secrets was conceived to provide a solution to that problem. As an example search for motorcycles Made in America using Google and you will likely miss many of the companies that make this country great. Use Made in America Secrets for the search and you will likely find a hidden jewel.

RETURN PROCEDURE If you wish to return an item, start by filling out the RMA RETURN FORM. However, before you start, be sure to review the TROUBLESHOOTING guide to verify that you have a real problem. Thoroughly check everything. Over 25% of our returns are unnecessary because the product was not understood or operated correctly. Sometimes it's as simple as a switch in the wrong place or an adjustment on a guitar. If it's determined the product does need servicing, proceed with the RMA RETURN form printing a copy for yourself and include one with your package. Be sure to fill out the Problem Description on the form and include a copy of Proof of Purchase (invoice) if under warranty. If you do not have a copy of your original invoice, email requestinvoice@carvin.com to obtain a copy. Be sure to provide complete details on the invoice you need (your name, address, product, etc). a) Be sure to properly pack your return. It's recommended that you save the original carton as it provides the best protection. Guitars have been received with broken necks and cabinet with big gouges caused by improper packing. CARVIN or the shipping company is not responsible for damage resulting from improper packing. b) If you have a combo bass or guitar amp, you can remove and return just the chassis saving shipping cost and possible damage to the cabinet. If it's a tube chassis, remove the tubes, rap individually and carefully place into your package. Be sure the chassis is not loose in the carton. No Service or Exchanges available on these products. c) Repairs normally take two weeks after received. If there is a required payment, or problem that's not covered under warranty, you will be contacted by email. Prior to shipping, all repairs must be paid for in full. You are responsibly for all shipping charges. However, Carvin will pay shipping both ways for the first 90 days after the purchase providing it's a bona fide failure. d) All repairs are warranted for 90 days against the same problem. e) All items are shipped UPS Ground unless other arrangements have been made. f) An email will be sent to acknowledge the receipt of your return. Customers who are in need of warranty repair service by Carvin should note the following shipping policies and procedures: 1. For gear requiring warranty service within 30 days of the original invoice date, Carvin will issue a call tag for UPS to pick up the equipment at Carvin's expense. Carvin will also pay the return shipping to the customer. 2. For equipment requiring warranty service work beyond 30 days of the original invoice date of the item, the customer is responsible for shipping of the item to the Carvin factory in San Diego, California. Shipping insurance is strongly recommended, as Carvin will not be held responsible for damages incurred in transit. If the item is being returned for warranty service less than one year from the original invoice date, Carvin will pay for return shipping to the customer (ground). 3. For all equipment requiring warranty service or other work beyond one year from the original invoice date, the customer is responsible for all shipping charges both to and from the factory. If you are returning a product for any reason other than service/repair, such as an item damaged in shipment or the wrong item shipped, please download and print the RMA form, and include it with your return shipment to speed processing. ITEMS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR RETURN a) SPEAKER ENCLOSURES are not recommended for returning because of the potential damage to the enclosure and the high cost of shipping. If it's a bad component, follow the TROUBLE SHOOTING guide for removal. With help, determine the defective component (active power amp, speaker, horn driver, crossover, etc). These components have connectors for easy removal without soldering. In some cases it may only be an input jack that is defective, which if under warranty will be replaced at no charge upon receiving the defective connector, or go to REPLACEMENT PARTS to purchase on-line. b) Do not return electronics that are older than 5 years, except if you are exchanging the chassis in our EXCHANGE PROGRAM. For older units, please use the SCHEMATICS and REPLACEMENT PARTS for repair. c) Non-serviceable items: cables, microphone, wireless products or other manufactures' products. d) CARVIN products outside the USA are not accepted for repair. Consult your local dealer. RETURNS ARE TO BE SENT PREPAID TO: CARVIN, 12340 WORLD TRADE DRIVE, SAN DIEGO, CA 92128 CARVIN STORES If you are located near one of our stores in California, you may take your repair in to have it serviced. The same service fee, if out or warranty, or exchange policy applies. Filling out the RMA RETURN FORM before you come in will save time. Bring a copy with you. |
