Building a Positive Reputation Through our Reviews System
Reviews are a great way for you to build a reputation on WrenchersParlor. Buyers can leave a review, including a one to five star rating and a photograph of their purchase, within 100 days after their item’s estimated delivery date. If an estimated delivery date is not available, the review window opens after the order’s processing time and shipping time have elapsed. Buyers can edit their review, including the photograph, any number of times during that 100 day period.
On the rare occasion you receive an unfavorable review, you can reach out to the buyer or, if the review is less than 3 stars, leave a response.
Reviews and your response to reviews may not:
- Contain private information;
- Contain obscene, racist, or harassing language or imagery;
- Violate our Code of Conduct Policy;
- Contain prohibited medical drug claims;
- Contain advertising or spam;
- Be about things outside the seller’s control, such as a shipping carrier, WrenchersParlor or a third party; or
- Undermine the integrity of the Reviews system.
Extortion
Extortion is not allowed on WrenchersParlor. Any attempt to manipulate reviews through threats, intimidation, or bribery is considered extortion and is strictly prohibited on WrenchersParlor. Extortion includes when a seller offers a buyer additional goods, services, or compensation in exchange for a positive review. For more information, please see this Help article.
Shilling
Shilling is strictly prohibited on WrenchersParlor. Shilling is the fraudulent inflation of a shop’s reputation by use of an alternate account. The intent of shilling is to make a seller look more desirable by increasing the shop’s number of sales and overall review score. Not only does it violate our core value of transparency, but it is considered to be a deceptive business practice by the US Federal Trade Commission. Reviews must reflect the honest, unbiased opinions, findings, beliefs, or experience of the buyer.
Providing Great Customer Service
We expect our sellers to provide a high level of customer service.
By selling on WrenchersParlor, you agree to:

Responding to Requests for Cancellations, Returns, and Exchanges
Please be aware that in addition to this policy, each country has its own laws surrounding shipping, cancellations, returns, and exchanges. Please familiarize yourself with the laws of your own country and those of your buyers’ countries.
Returns and Refunds State Law (FindLaw.com)
Almost every consumer has returned a purchased retail item for a refund, exchange, or store credit at some point. While merchants are required to accept returns in only certain situations, some states have laws governing the disclosure of refund and return policies. State refund and return laws are summarized below. For more information, see FindLaw’s section on “Product Warranties and Returns.”
Customer Returns and Refunds Under Federal Law
Many retailers, as part of their business models, allow returns if customers change their minds or receive unwanted items as gifts. While many retailers have decided this makes for the best business practice, they aren’t legally required to accept returns. Rather, retailers are required to accept returns only if the sold good is defective or if they otherwise break the sales contract.
In addition to retailers being required to accept the return of defective items, federal law provides a “Cooling-Off Rule ” giving buyers three days to cancel purchases of $25 or more. Under this rule, the right to cancel for a full refund extends until midnight of the third business day after the sale. The rule applies to sales at the buyer’s home or workplace, at facilities rented by the seller on a temporary basis, or at locations otherwise away from the seller’s normal retail location.
Customer Returns and Refunds Under State Law
In addition to applicable federal law, many states have laws regarding consumer refunds. Often, refund policies must be prominently displayed at the place of purchase in order to be valid. Many states, in addition to the protections of the federal Cooling-Off Rule, allow consumers to rescind club memberships or other special sales contracts within a specified number of business days.
Other fees, such as restocking fees, normally must be made clear in the retailer’s policy language. Regardless of whether your state requires disclosure of return policies, you should ask any retailer for their particular policy before making a purchase. Additionally, states may or may not explicitly apply their laws to online sales. Below are summaries of state laws governing refunds of retail sales items:

WrenchersParlor’s Dispute Case System
We ask buyers to contact the seller directly and attempt to resolve any outstanding issues before opening a Dispute Case on WrenchersParlor. For this reason, it is important that you fill out your shop policies and regularly respond to Inquiries from your buyers.
Buyers may file a Dispute Case for a non-delivery or a not-as-described item. You must respond to any open Dispute Cases within three business days. WrenchersParlor reserves the right to escalate a Dispute Case early for circumstances such as seller inactivity, harassment, refusal of service, case manipulation, and undermining the integrity of the Dispute Case System.
By using WrenchersParlor’s Dispute Case System, you understand that under WrenchersParlor’s dispute resolution procedures, WrenchersParlor may use your personal information for the purpose of resolving disputes with other members.
Dispute Cases can be filed in the following circumstances:
Non-Delivery
A non-delivery occurs when a buyer places an order and submits payment, but does not receive the item.
The following are examples of non-delivery cases:
- An item was never sent.
- An item was not sent to the address provided on WrenchersParlor.
- There is no proof that the item was shipped to the buyer’s address.
Not as Described
An item is not as described if it is materially different from your listing description or your photos.
The following are examples of not as described cases:
- The item received is a different color, model, version, or size than is shown in the photo or described in the listing.
- The item has a different design or material.
- The item was advertised as authentic but is not authentic.
- You failed to disclose the fact that an item is damaged or is missing parts.
- A buyer purchased three items but only received two.
- The condition of the item is misrepresented. For example, the description at the time of purchase said the item was “new” and the item is used.
Not as Described cases can also be filed for late delivery.
In order to qualify as late delivery, the buyer must provide proof that all of these conditions have been met:
- The item(s) were ordered for a specific date or event.
- The item(s) are rendered useless after that date.
- The seller did not ship the item(s) according to their processing time or the date agreed upon in Inquiries.
If WrenchersParlor determines that an item is not as described, you will be required to refund the original shipping and return shipping, in addition to the cost of the item.

These include:

- Intangible items, services, or prohibited items.
- Transactions where payment is not made through one of WrenchersParlor Payment Processors.
- Items that are returned without a return agreement.
- Items that have been altered, used, worn, or washed after receiving them.
- Physical or tangible items that are not available for return because they have been destroyed or discarded by the buyer.
