Back to TopReturn Authorization

Any request for product return, whether new or defective, must have a "Return Goods Authorization" (RGA number). To obtain an RGA number, please call, e-mail or fax the Transamerican Wholesale National Returns Center Department at: ph (866) 330-2860, e-mail returns@transamericanwholesale.com, and fax (310) 747-3960. Please have the quantity, part number, and the original invoice number available for the agent. At this time you will receive a copy of the RGA and or the number. You will then need to send the product with a copy of the RGA, with the shipment clearly marked with the RGA numbers on the product. Please note; do not write directly on the packaging as a re-boxing fee will apply.

New returns and defective returns must come on separate requests. New returns are defined as goods originally purchased from Transamerican Wholesale (TAW). These products must be in new saleable condition. New products do not carry penalties, fees or limits provided they are not damaged in product or packaging. Defective returns are defined as product that is defective in materials and/or workmanship. This product is subject to policy stated by the respective factory. We act as an agent for the factory and are held responsible to act in accordance with their policy.

Defective returns may require factory approval before any credit invoice is issued. Because of this, defective returns may require more than the standard 3 days of processing. Defective returns will also require a reasonably detailed description of defect before an RGA number can be issued.

Defective tires will always be prorated based on measuring existing tread depth compared to new tread depth. Remaining tread will be calculated as a percentage to assess the proper credit amount. Blowouts, cut tires, impact damage, modified tires, competitive racing, misuse or misapplication will not be considered credit worthy. Out of round warranty only exists with less than 2/32" of wear. For pro-rating purpose measure is taken at the point of greatest wear.

Reasons for Refusal:
  • Special order parts.
