Summit Haul is an independent specialist retailer for hiking backpacks and outdoor gear from top brands. This refund policy explains how returns, exchanges, and refunds work for orders placed at summithaul.shop, operated by Arapahoe Peak Ventures LLC, a Colorado limited liability company established in 2019 and the merchant of record for all Summit Haul orders.
Return Window and Eligibility
We accept returns within 30 days of delivery. To be eligible, the item must have been purchased from Summit Haul at summithaul.shop, and the return must be started before the 30-day window closes.
Condition Requirements
For a full refund or exchange, items should be returned in the condition they were received, with original packaging, tags, and accessories included where applicable. We encourage you to examine your order upon delivery and check for any signs of damage or defects. If anything seems amiss, please contact us right away so we can help.
How to Start a Return
To begin a return, contact the after-sales team at aftersales@summithaul.shop within 30 days of delivery. Please include:
Your order number
The reason for the return or concern
Your preferred resolution (refund or exchange)
Our after-sales team will confirm eligibility, initiate the return process, and monitor the refund or replacement until it is completed. For general questions about your order or the storefront, you can also reach primary support at support@summithaul.shop.
Refunds and Exchanges
Once your return is received and confirmed, we will issue a refund to the original payment method used at checkout. Summit Haul accepts credit cards and PayPal, and refunds are processed back to that same payment method. Exchanges are also available on eligible items; the after-sales team will guide you through the exchange process and keep you updated on its status.
Shipping Fees
Standard shipping is $8.00, and shipping is free on orders over $45.00. If an authenticity concern is confirmed, we will reimburse the original return shipping costs as part of the resolution.
