Tracking returned products

We always recommend that you use a carrier that offers shipment tracking capabilities for all returns, and either insure your package for safe return to us or declare the full value of the shipment so that you are completely protected if the shipment is lost or damaged in transit. If you do not use a carrier that offers tracking, and insure or declare the full value of the product, you will be responsible for any loss or damage to the product during shipment. Please note that we do not recommend returning products via the United States Postal Service (USPS). The USPS offers limited tracking capabilities and there is a 30-calendar-day waiting period before they will initiate a trace for lost packages. Refer to our product return procedure for information on how to go about arranging for a product return.

Defective products

Carelli branded products

If you discover what you believe is a product defect with any Carelli-branded product, please call 1-800-498-8868 (select 1121 for Customer Service) between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Pacific Standard Time Monday through Friday. For information about product warranties, refer to the warranty information and other supporting documentation that came with your product (See our Product Warranty section for specific information about product warranties).

Non-Carelli branded/Third-party products

If you discover what you believe is a product defect with any Third-party product, please contact the Third-party manufacturer directly for information concerning applicable warranties. Products sold through the Carelli Design Store website which does not bear the Carelli brand name are serviced and supported exclusively by their manufacturers in accordance with the terms and conditions packaged with the product(s). The Standard one-year Limited Warranty for online purchases through the Carelli Design Store does not apply to products that are not Carelli branded, even if packaged or sold with Carelli branded products. Please contact the manufacturer directly for technical support for such products.

Downloaded products

Using your valid Member Account, you can select downloadable software products and digital content for purchase at the Carelli Design Store. At the time of checkout, we will obtain an authorization from the credit card you provide us. Once the credit card authorization process has been completed, you will receive instructions in the form of a link by email to begin downloading the item purchased. If the transmission is interrupted in any way during the download, you can use your Member User ID and Password Key to begin the downloading process again. Shortly after you complete your order, you will receive a confirmation email with your order number and purchase details. Please note electronic downloaded products are non-refundable.

Order confirmation

Shortly after you submit your order, you will receive a confirmation email with your order number and purchase details (if you have provided a valid email address with your order). If you have not provided an email address, you will receive a confirmation of your order by regular mail when your order is shipped.

Special order products

For custom ordered products or products that are to be custom-configured to your specifications, we encourage you to review your order carefully. Since the product is built to your specifications, the order cannot be changed, modified or canceled once your order is placed into production.

Payment by credit card

The Carelli Design Store accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express. You may pay by credit card regardless of which ordering method you use (online or by phone). At the time your order is placed, we obtain a pre-approval from the credit card company for the amount of your order. The eventual credit card charge occurs when your order ships, not before. Please note that we are unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of the United States. Although we accepted Debit cards and Check cards, they often have a daily spending limit that may substantially delay the processing of your order.

Credit card verification CVN

We require the Credit card Verification Number (“CVN”) located on your credit card for any telephone or online purchase. The credit card verification number is a unique three or four digit number specific to your credit card that is either printed on the face of your card above the embossed account number (American Express), or on the back of your card, on the signature panel (Visa, MasterCard or Discover). Asking for and confirming your credit card verification number helps validate that you are in the possession of your credit card, and protects you from unauthorized use of your account.

Other forms of payment

We will accept a cashier's check or money order as a valid form of payment. Personal or business checks are not accepted. The cashier's check or money order must be payable to Carelli International Corporation. We ask that you include your online order confirmation number or a copy of your order. Please mail your payment to:

Carelli International Corporation
One Park Plaza
Irvine, California 92614-5987
USA

Payments must be received within ten (10) calendar days from your order date or the order will be canceled. Please allow two (2) business days for order processing upon receipt of your payment.

Sales Tax

Purchases will only include sales tax for orders shipped to California. You will see the total sales tax charged on your order during the checkout process before you confirm your order. If you phone in your order, we will provide you an estimated total of your order including sales tax and any applicable shipping charges.

ORDERS SHIPPED TO CALIFORNIA: Order totals calculated during checkout show estimated sales tax. The actual final tax amount will appear on the final invoice, based on State tax rates and rules applicable when the order was placed.

Resale and tax-exempt accounts

Resellers and tax-exempt organizations are required to provide us with a copy of their resale certificate, exemption certificate, or proof of exempt status for the state where purchased products will be shipped. Non-profit organizations should provide proof of their 501(c)(3) status or other acceptable exemption certification. Federal agencies should provide a federal tax ID certificate.
