Returning items to Cargos Boards is straightforward. Follow these four practical steps:

Step 1

Step 2

Obtain Authorization

Our team inspects your request within 24–48 hours and issues an official Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) code.

Step 3

Step 4

Inspection & Refund

Upon arrival at our warehouse, our quality control team checks the goods, and your reimbursement is triggered immediately.

3. Non-Returnable & Custom Items

Due to personalization and hygienic considerations, certain categories cannot be returned for a standard refund unless delivered damaged or defective:

  • Custom-Assembled Decks: Skateboards or longboards where custom griptape has been trimmed, applied, or custom mounting drilled at the customer's request.
  • Final Clearance Items: Products explicitly marked as "Final Sale" or "Warehouse Liquidation" at the moment of purchase.
  • Worn Protective Gear: Helmets, mouthguards, knee pads, or gloves showing visible moisture, sweat, scuffs, or removed hygiene liners.
  • Gift Cards & Downloadable Guides: Digital gift vouchers and downloadable technical guides are non-refundable.

4. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Goods

We inspect every board, binding, and component before dispatch. However, if your package arrives with transit damage or a manufacturing defect:

  • Notify us within 48 hours of receiving the shipment.
  • Include clear photos of the shipping box, shipping label, and damaged part.
  • We will arrange a prepaid courier pickup and rush an expedited replacement or 100% full refund including all original shipping charges.

Detailed shipping guidelines can be found on our Shipping and Payment page.

5. Refund Processing Timelines

Once your return is received and inspected at our fulfillment center:

  • Inspection Notification: You will receive an automated email within 2 business days regarding approval or rejection status.
  • Credit & Debit Cards: Approved funds are released instantly from our payment gateway and typically reflect on your bank statement within 3–7 business days depending on your bank institution.
  • Late or Missing Refunds: If 10 business days have passed since our refund notification, please check your bank statement first, then reach out to our support department for transaction trace codes.
