Pro Parts. DIY Prices.


Return Policy

We stand behind every part we sell. When your project requires a change of plans, we want to make the return process as straightforward as possible, while maintaining the quality and integrity of our specialized inventory that pros and DIYers alike depend on.

Please read this policy in full before initiating a return. It covers everything you need to know to get the process right the first time.

 

Return Window

Returns are accepted within 14 days of your purchase date. We recommend inspecting your order as soon as it arrives to confirm it matches your project specifications. Requests submitted after 14 days will not be accepted.

 

Return Eligibility

To qualify for a return, all of the following conditions must be met:

  • Item is unused and uninstalled
  • Item is in its original, undamaged packaging
  • Original receipt or proof of purchase is included
  • Return has been pre-authorized by our support team (see below)

⚠ Items that are returned without prior authorization will be refused and returned to sender at the customer's expense.

 

Non-Returnable Items

The following items are not eligible for return under any circumstances:

  • Special-order or custom-configured parts
  • Electrical components that have been installed or powered
  • Items showing signs of use, installation, or modification
  • Items returned without a valid Return Authorization (RA) number
  • Orders outside the 14-day return window

 

Compatibility — Please Verify Before You Order

MakeMyYard carries professional-grade components from Rain Bird, Hunter, Toro and other industry-leading brands. Many of these parts are application-specific and may not be interchangeable across systems, pipe sizes, or pressure ratings.

Before placing your order, please confirm:

  • Part number, model, and specifications against your existing system
  • Pipe size, thread type, and connection compatibility
  • Pressure rating and flow requirements for your application

If you have any doubt, contact us before purchasing. We'd much rather help you get the right part the first time than process a return. Compatibility issues are not grounds for return fee waivers.


Restocking Fee

Because our inventory consists of precision-grade irrigation, backflow prevention, and plumbing components, every return requires inspection, cleaning, and repackaging before an item can re-enter stock. Accordingly, a restocking fee will be deducted from all approved refunds.

The restocking fee covers the labor and handling costs involved in maintaining the inventory standards our customers expect. The applicable fee will be communicated when your return is authorized.


Return Shipping

Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. When placing your order, you have the option to add return shipping coverage directly from our checkout page. We recommend taking advantage of this, it covers your shipment in the event of loss or damage in transit, ensures your return is protected, and saves you from having to deal with carrier claims if something goes wrong along the way.


How to Initiate a Return

Step 1 — Contact Us

Reach out to our support team within 14 days of purchase to request a Return Authorization (RA) number. Have your order number and the reason for return ready.

Step 2 — Receive Your RA Number

Once your return is reviewed and approved, we will issue an RA number along with return shipping instructions. Do not ship items without an RA number, unauthorized shipments will be refused.

Step 3 — Ship the Item

Pack the item securely in its original packaging, include your proof of purchase, and clearly mark the RA number on the outside of the package. Ship to the address provided in your authorization.

Step 4 — Refund Processing

Once we receive and inspect the return, we will notify you of the outcome within 2 business days. If approved, your refund (minus the applicable restocking fee) will be issued to your original payment method within 10 business days. Your bank or card issuer may require additional time to post the credit.


Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items

We perform quality checks on every order before it ships. In the event you receive a damaged, defective, or incorrect item, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery. Include photos of the item and packaging so we can resolve the issue promptly, at no cost to you.

Special Orders — Non-Cancelable & Non-Returnable
Certain products available on our website are shipped directly from the manufacturer and fall under our Special Orders category. These are items that are sourced, configured, or fulfilled on a per-order basis. If a product falls under this category, it will be clearly noted in the product description on its listing page.
Because these orders are placed and processed directly with the manufacturer on your behalf, they cannot be cancelled once submitted and are not eligible for return under any circumstances. Please review all product details carefully before placing a special order.
