We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it: unused, uninstalled, and in its original packaging. You will also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

Eligible for Return

  • Items in original, unused, and uninstalled condition
  • Products returned in original packaging
  • Items accompanied by original receipt or proof of purchase

Non-Returnable Items

  • Special orders or custom-configured equipment
  • Items that have been installed, bolted down, or modified
  • Hazardous materials, liquids, or gases

Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted. Please follow the steps below to ensure a smooth return experience.

Step-by-Step Process

  • Request Authorization — Contact us at support@torquecollective.com to start a return
  • Approval — If your return is accepted, we will send you instructions on how and where to send your package
  • Shipping Costs — Unless the return is due to our error or a defective product, the customer is responsible for all return shipping costs
  • For high-ticket freight items, we recommend using a carrier with tracking and insurance

To maintain our ability to offer high-quality equipment at competitive prices, a 15% restocking fee may apply to returns of high-ticket items and shop machinery. This fee covers the cost of technical inspection and repackaging.

Restocking Fee Schedule

  • Standard parts & accessories — No restocking fee

  • Special orders & custom-configured equipment — Non-returnable, no refund
