E2E Group Warranty / Returns

General Catalog Merchandise – Award Item Return Policy

All general catalog products supplied by E2E Group are guaranteed for a period of thirty days following receipt of award shipment.

Damaged Awards:

E2E Group extends a 100% guarantee return policy for any item received damaged or defective providing that it is returned with all original packaging.  The item must be returned in restock-able condition, unused and in the original packaging with all original documentation for full exchange or credit.

For items that are received damaged, defective or malfunctioning, recipient must notify Customer Service within 48-hours of delivery.  For items that become defective within 30 days of receipt, customer service will provide a replacement.  The new item is typically shipped out within three-five business days of the original item receipt.

In order to return an item, recipients should contact their program manager for a return goods authorization number.

For items that become defective after 30 days of receipt, customer service will provide a ‘proof of purchase’ so the item can be serviced under the manufacturer warranty.  Some manufacturers will not allow returns, but will provide exceptional warranty service.  In these cases, the award recipient may receive instruction on how to obtain warranty service as opposed to a complete award replacement from the manufacturer. Recipients are encouraged to complete the manufacturer’s warranty registration upon receipt of the item to activate the warranty.

E2E Group offers a replacement at no additional cost if the item is lost in transit.

  • Physical Retail Gift Cards: In cases where the gift card does not reach its destination, E2E Group will send one replacement card to the end recipient.
  • Virtual Retail Gift Cards: In cases where the virtual card code does not function as per redemption instructions and/or Terms & Conditions listed, E2E Group will re-issue a replacement code/email to the end recipient.

** Please refer to the individual retailer terms & conditions for usage rules & regulations for the individual retailer cards**

  • Physical Debit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, or other): In cases where the gift card does not reach its destination, E2E Group will send one replacement card to the end recipient.

Gift Card/Certificate Return Policy: Gift Certificates/Gift Cards cannot be returned or exchanged.  Gift Certificates/Gift Cards are not replaceable if lost, stolen, destroyed or expired.  Gift Certificates/Gift Cards are subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the merchant, which in most cases appear on the Certificate or Gift Card.  Please immediately read the back of your Gift Certificate/Gift Card for terms and conditions on non-use and expiration dates.  Notice: Value may be depleted if not used within given timeframe.  Merchants are solely responsible for the fulfillment of services.  E2E Group has no further obligation once the Certificate/Gift Card is issued.

Gift Card, Non-received Orders:  E2E Group advises participants to allow 15 working days for delivery of orders that are not sent via traceable method (typically gift certificate orders valued at <$300 sent via USPS).   Non-received orders must be reported within 60 days of ship date for research of potential reimbursement.  E2E Group Incentives assumes no liability for failed deliveries caused by incorrect addresses.  If retailer is able to deactivate the gift card, the replacement order is processed under the clients account and credit is issued back to the client once we receive reimbursement of original cards.  If the retailer is unable to deactivate the gift card, the replacement order is processed under an accommodation account and there is no additional bill to the client.  Non-received orders reported after 60 days of ship date will only be replaced if retailer is able to deactivate the gift card. Please allow up to 5 business days for the retailer confirmation of card cancellation.

If card is sent via a traceable method (generally orders over $300) is reported as lost or non-delivered E2E Group will utilize the above process to research. If there is any suspicion of fraud, E2E Group will discuss the situation with the client prior to proceeding with the replacement process.

Delivered, Non-received Orders:  If an item is tracked as delivered and signed for, the participant will be provided that information.  If the item is delivered without signature and participant is stating non-receipt, E2E Group will issue a tracer on the package with the carrier which can take 7-10 days.  In the meantime, E2E Group will ship a replacement to the participant as long as it is reported within 60 days of ship date. If original package is deemed delivered or found by the participant we will start the return process to have items shipped back to E2E Group. E2E Group assumes no liability for failed deliveries caused by incorrect addresses.

Receipt of Wrong Item:  On the rare occasion that a participant receives a wrong item, they should contact customer service.  E2E Group will issue a return authorization for the wrong item and it will be picked up.   A replacement order will be entered for the correct item.

Change of Address:  Address change requests can be accommodated on open or backorder orders.  If the order is in the process of being packed and shipped, we will do our best to change the address, but we cannot guarantee it will be changed prior to shipment.  If the address cannot be changed, the participant will be notified.
