Boat loads of Carhartt winter closeouts have been freshly marked down. Discontinued colors and styles. Everything is first run product, we don’t sell seconds.

Great sizes are available, lots of great bargains to be had.

What’s up everyone? That special time is upon us, the holiday gift giving and receiving season. We all know that unless the gift is cash (always the right size and always the right color) we are going to have to return and exchange some products at some point.

This leads us to the topic at hand, how Getzs.com will be handling return / exchanges this year. Here is a brief (and candid) run down of our “Holiday Return and Exchange Policy”.

First and foremost, check this out:

** WE HAVE EXTENDED OUR WINDOW FOR RETURNING AND EXCHANGING PRODUCTS FOR THIS HOLIDAY SEASON **
Any order placed between October 1st, 2007 and the end of the December 2007 can be returned or exchanged until January 20th, 2008.

Secondly, unfortunately we do not cover the cost of shipping a products back to us. You are responsible for any shipping charges incurred when returning a product or exchanging a product.

Now that you know that important information, read on…

– Returns –

Returns are never a problem, please fill out the return / exchange form with as much information as you can. Your name, phone number, and order number are essential. Please note that returns will be refunded to the credit card used for the initial purchase. So if your sister buys you a Carhartt jacket and you decide you don’t want it, the funds are going back to sis’s credit card. Not only is that our policy but it is that of our Merchant Service payment processor as well. We apologize for any inconvenience, but it is out of our hands. Also note that refunds do take up to 4 business days (after we receive your return) to reflect on your credit card or banking statement.

If you would like, by request only, we can issue you a Getzs.com gift certificate for the refund amount if you wish to use the funds to shop with us in the future. Please include your email address in the return information so we can issue you the gift certificate code.

As always, it is our discretion to reject any return that we deem unsellable. So if you send us back something that your cat slept on for a week, someone smoked a pack of cigarettes around, or you wore to work, we are going to reject it. We respect you, we don’t send you used stuff when you purchase it, please respect us in return.

– Exchanges –

We like exchanges. Again, please fill out the return/exchange form to the best of your ability (your name, phone number, and order number are the essentials). Also let us know what you would like done, do you need a smaller size, different color, different product? Please be specific. There are two things I want to throw on the table about exchanges. Especially after the holiday rush, some products may be either out of stock for a period of time, or sold out entirely. If that happens to a product you would like to exchange to, we will contact you immediately.

Here is the other thing. The powers that be require us to charge $6.95 to cover reshipping the exchange back to you. Please remember that unless accompanied with a check or money order (please don’t send cash), the $6.95 will be charged to the card used for initial purchase, so Aunt Judy might wonder why she received a $6.95 charge from us, and that is the reason. Please allow up to 4 business days for an exchange to be re-shipped out.

As always, it is our discretion to reject any exchange that we deem unsellable. So if you send us back something that your cat slept on for a week, someone smoked a pack of cigarettes around, or you wore to work, we are going to reject it. We respect you, we don’t send you used stuff when you purchase it, please respect us in return.

– Mistakes –

I am not saying we make alot of mistakes, in fact, you would be surprised if you saw this place, that we don’t make more they we really do. I think our error rate last year was less than 1% of total shipments. If you have received an incorrect item or package, please let us know immediately. Call us at 1.800.746.7438 and we will take the necessary steps to make it right. We will cover all shipping charges to make your order correct, including arranging for a shipping carrier to get the incorrect merchandise from you.

Sometimes we ship items in separate packages and those packages do not arrive on the same day. If you are missing part of your order, please let us know, chances are good that they are on the way in a separate box or bag.

– Lost Return/Exchange Forms –

It’s going to happen, no big deal. Please visit http://www.getzs.com/returnform.pdf to print a new one. Please make sure you use this form, it really speeds up the process of a return or an exchange.

We hope that this information helps make your life a little easier this holiday season. We truly appreciate your business and we will do whatever we can (within reason) to make sure your shopping experience has been an excellent one. From all of us, to all of you and yours, Happy Holidays….

June 20th, 2007 started as most weekdays do around here, cheerful good mornings as team members prepared for the workday. It ended as one of the wildest weather days in the history of Marquette, MI. Thunderstorms had been predicted but no one was prepared for what was about to happen. Around 2:30 p.m. the rains began as a bizarre feeling set in. When the winds picked up and hail started to fall, local folks knew this was something unlike anything Marquette has ever seen. Marble to quarter size hail shot down from the sky as the streets were painted in white. Pedestrians ran for cover as they were blasted with ice pellets from the clouds. Winds ripped through the trees tearing leaves off as if fall had came early. Then, as quickly as it arrived it was gone. Leaving in its wake a community that has some major cleaning up to do.

Thankfully no injuries have been reported. This reminds all of us that Mother Nature is still a force to be reckoned with.

The time of year is upon us when we honor that special guy that we call Dad. For most of us Dad has been a guiding and uplifting figure in our lives. We often take his services for granted and show little appreciation for his help. If you are like me, this day usually sneaks up and you rush out and find a quick gift or give him a call and tell him you owe him a dinner. Let’s change that this year. This year let’s show him we really care. Whether it is a gift he has been wanting or just spending the day with him, make sure you make the effort. Remember that regardless of what you do, he will appreciate it.

I have recently been putting a good deal of my time into a unique line called Working Concepts here at Getzs.com. I read the owners article “Preventing the Slow Accident”, by Dick Crampton and decided it was something I needed to make my customers aware of. Working Concepts was created for workers by workers and have expanded their line from Softknees® that fit into most double knee work pants to many other ergonomic products including standing mats, kneeling mats and shoulder pads. I have recently been doing a great deal of work that requires me to be kneeling. I use the Handy Mat (14″x21″) and would never work without it again. Anyone who has kneeled on hardwood floors or concrete will know what I am talking about. Take some time to read the above article. It will really open your eyes to what the daily grind of work truly does to our bodies.
