Each Item being returned must have full item description with the original purchase order number that the item was ordered under or the ASSA order number that the item was shipped under which can be found on the Item box label marked REF#.
Return Goods Authorization is then approved or denied through ASSA’s established internal process. In either case the requesting distributor is notified by ASSA in writing. If approved, distributor will receive in

Once received, Items are physically inspected and checked against the RGA. Information will then be forwarded to the credit department where credit invoicing will be applied.
