Order Processing and Shipping Errors

Returns Due to SCP Shipping Errors

From time to time you may experience receiving the wrong item in your SCP order shipment.  We do our best to ensure that every order is meticulously prepared and shipped. If you receive a wrong item in your shipment and wish to return the item, please contact SCP within 2 business days of order receipt.  

SCP will work with you in resolving the Shipped Items Error by one of the following methods at SCP’s discretion:

  1. SCP will cover the cost to return the incorrect item(s) back to SCP and SCP will ship at our expense (using comparable shipping method as per the original order) the corrected items as per the original approved order;  
  2. Customer may also elect to keep the received items and any necessary credit or debit adjustments will be made to customer’s SCP account; or

Item Shortage Error

It is important that you check the order at the time of delivery.  Do not sign for acceptance of the order with the delivery service until you have verified receipt of all items as per the packing list. If you receive an order with an item(s) missing, please write this on the delivery receipt with the shipping company.  We also highly recommend that you take pictures of the pallet or shipping boxes that you did receive.  This will all help, should a shipping claim need to be made.

Please then contact SCP directly as soon as possible.  We will review all shipping documents from our end and conduct an audit of our warehouse stock to reconcile physical stock to what our system indicates. If we verify that your order shortage was caused by SCP error, we will arrange shipping of the missing item(s) at SCP expense using similar shipping method as per the original order or we may agree to credit your SCP account for the invoice value of the item(s) not shipped. However, if we verify that the item(s) were shipped, you will need to make a shipping claim with the shipping service.  SCP will assist you with this process.  By notifying the shipping service at the time of delivery of the short shipment, this will help with the shipping claim.

Item Overage Error

If you receive any items or quantities in excess of the order amount, please contact us as soon as possible. SCP will at our discretion: Allow you to keep the overage items and SCP will charge the applicable costs to your SCP account, or SCP may elect to have the items shipped back to SCP at SCP expense.
