The more information you provide, the easier it is for Deppmann to locate the original transaction and review the return request. Do not ship material back until the return is approved.

Before You Begin

Gather as much information as you can about the product and purchase before opening the return form. You don't need every item from below, but one or two item details will help Deppmann to identify your purchase. Such as:

  • Sales order number
  • Purchase order number
  • Model and/or part number
  • Item name
  • Date of purchase
  • Reason for return and explaination of the problem.
  • Supporting images

Steps

  1. Open My Account

    Go to Create a Return in My Account.

  2. Select Create a Return

    Choose an order identifier to start your return without selecting a prior sales order. Order identifier options are: Sales Order, Purchase Order Number, Model Number, Part Number, or Item Name.

  3. Enter date information

    Provide the date of purchase and date code (if applicable).

  4. Select the reason for return and provide an explaination of the problem

    Describe why the product is being returned and its current condition. Provide supporting images, if available.

  5. Review the form

    Confirm the information is complete and accurate.

  6. Submit the return request

    Submit the form for Deppmann review and keep any confirmation information.

  7. Monitor Return History

    Review the request status and wait for Deppmann's approval and return instructions. You will receive a response via email as well as through the portal.

Tips

Provide the part number

An exact part number is one of the most useful details when the sales order is unknown.

Include any purchase reference you have

An invoice, PO, project name, or approximate date can help locate the transaction.

Do not guess

If you are unsure about the product identification, contact Deppmann before submitting.

Wait for authorization

Do not ship the material until the return is approved.
