Equipment Trade USA 15 Days Guarantee gives buyers confidence and peace of mind with every purchase. If an item is not materially and accurately described or represented, the buyer may return it for a full refund of the purchase price. To initiate a return, the buyer must notify Equipment Trade USA in writing within three (3) days of receiving the item and no later than ten (10) days from the sale date.
