Refund policy

REFUND & RETURNS POLICY

HAJEX Fitness

This policy applies to all orders placed at https://hajex.com for delivery in Canada and the United States. Product pages may carry additional product-specific information; where any conflict arises, this policy governs.

Change-of-mind returns: within 30 days of delivery.
Warranty claims: within 12 months of delivery.
Damage in transit: report within 24 hours of delivery (see our Shipping Policy, section 8).

1. Return Eligibility

You can return most items within 30 days of delivery if you change your mind. To be eligible, the item must be:

  • Unused and in the same condition as received
  • In its original, undamaged packaging
  • Free of wear, damage or signs of use
  • Accompanied by proof of purchase (receipt or order confirmation)

Partial refunds may be granted for items that are not in their original condition or are missing parts, where the damage or missing parts are not due to an error by HAJEX.

Items marked Final Sale on the product page cannot be returned for a change of mind (see section 7).

2. Refunds

2.1 Change-of-Mind Refunds

Once your return is received and inspected, we will notify you of the outcome. Approved change-of-mind refunds are issued as store credit within 2–5 business days.

Shipping fees originally paid are not refundable. For US orders, prepaid import duties, customs clearance and brokerage fees are also not refundable, as these are paid to government and carrier agencies at the time of import and cannot be recovered once the shipment has cleared customs.

2.2 When You Receive a Full Refund Instead

The store credit and restocking terms in this policy apply to change-of-mind returns and cancellations. They do not apply where HAJEX changed the terms after you ordered.

You will receive a full refund to your original payment method, with no restocking fee and no store credit condition, in the following situations:

  • We advised you that actual shipping, duty, customs or brokerage costs exceeded our estimate, and you chose to cancel rather than proceed (see Shipping Policy, section 3.2);
  • You requested a freight quote at checkout and declined the quote we provided (see Shipping Policy, section 2.3);
  • We are unable to fulfil your order, cancel it ourselves, or cannot ship to your address;
  • The item was not delivered and the carrier has confirmed the shipment as lost.

In these cases the full amount you paid — including shipping and any prepaid duties — is returned to you. You are never penalised for declining a cost that was not quoted to you at checkout.

2.3 Late or Missing Refunds

If your refund or store credit has not appeared within 5 business days of approval, please contact us at support@hajex.com.

3. Exchanges & Product Condition

Exchanges are available only for items that are defective or significantly damaged. To start an exchange, email support@hajex.com and return the item to the address provided by our dispatch team. Warranty claims are covered in section 8.

3.1 Cosmetic Imperfections & Manufacturing Tolerance

HAJEX applies a 1–5% tolerance for minor cosmetic imperfections arising from mass production, transportation, or handling. This includes small scratches or scuff marks, minor paint chips or inconsistencies, surface manufacturing marks, and packaging wear.

Such imperfections are inherent to heavy fitness equipment (dumbbells, barbells, weight plates, benches) and do not constitute defects. If a product functions as intended, cosmetic wear is not a valid basis for exchange or refund.

Cosmetic imperfections up to 5% of surface area, or measuring under 3 inches in any dimension, are considered within tolerance and are not eligible for exchange or refund.

3.2 Warranty Assessment

All warranty claims, replacement eligibility, and resolutions are assessed by HAJEX based on: product condition at the time of the claim; available photographic or physical evidence; manufacturer policies and inventory availability; and applicable consumer protection laws.

All replacements are subject to stock availability. Shipping costs for both the return and the replacement are the responsibility of the client unless otherwise agreed in writing.

3.3 Minor Component Damage (Approved Claims)

For approved claims involving minor component issues — such as broken pins, cradle damage, cracked plastic parts, or discoloration — HAJEX will source replacement parts. Once received, the client may pick them up from one of our locations, or request a shipping label at their own cost.

While our locations may assist without charge where feasible, free shipping for replacement parts cannot be guaranteed across Canada and the USA due to carrier rate variability.

3.4 Product Appearance, Styling & Batch Variations

Product shape, finish, logo placement, or packaging may differ slightly from website images due to manufacturing updates, supplier changes, or production batches. If you have specific appearance requirements, please contact us before placing your order.

Minor variations in appearance, styling, or packaging do not automatically qualify for a refund or replacement unless the product materially differs from its advertised functionality or weight specifications.

HAJEX sources products across multiple manufacturing batches. Minor variations in labelling style, font type, or surface finish — including raised versus printed lettering, or matte versus gloss coating — are considered acceptable product characteristics and are not defects. These variations have no effect on weight accuracy, structural integrity, or performance.

3.5 Sets & Multi-Unit Orders

The above also applies to sets and multi-unit orders (weight plate sets, dumbbell pairs, racks). Sets are assembled from available inventory which may span more than one production batch. Individual units within the same order may therefore display different labelling styles or surface finishes. This is not a fulfillment error — all units meet the same weight specifications and quality standards. By purchasing a set or pair, customers acknowledge that minor visual differences between units may exist due to batch sourcing.

4. Restocking Fee

No restocking fee is charged where:

  • The product is confirmed faulty due to a manufacturing defect; or
  • The cancellation falls under section 2.2 above.

For all other change-of-mind returns or cancellations, a restocking fee of up to 35% may apply.

5. Cancellations & Change of Mind

Cancellations before delivery are accepted. For change-of-mind cancellations, store credit is issued and the following fees apply:

  • Restocking fee: up to 35%
  • Storage fee: $3/day after the first 2 business days for uncollected orders
  • Credit/debit processing fees are non-refundable: approximately 3% for Canadian cards, 5.1% for US cards

These fees do not apply to cancellations under section 2.2, which are refunded in full to the original payment method.

6. Shipping Costs, Duties & Order Acceptance

Shipping is calculated at checkout from the weight of your order and the delivery region, in both Canada and the United States. Full details are in our Shipping Policy.

US orders ship DDP: import duties, customs clearance and brokerage are prepaid by HAJEX and included in the shipping amount shown at checkout. Nothing further should be payable on delivery.

Placing an order does not guarantee fulfillment or shipment. Stock availability, delivery location, and carrier serviceability may prevent us from completing an order.

If the actual shipping, duty or customs cost on your order comes in materially higher than our estimate, our dispatch team will contact you before the order ships. You may then choose to proceed as-is, share the difference, adjust the order weight or contents, or cancel. If you cancel for this reason, you receive a full refund to your original payment method with no restocking fee. We will never charge an additional amount to your card without your explicit approval.

7. Final Sale Items

Items marked Final Sale on the product page at the time of your order cannot be returned for a change of mind. A regular sale price or a compare-at price does not by itself make an item Final Sale.

Final Sale items are still covered by our 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.

8. Warranty Claims & Return Shipping

Every HAJEX product carries a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects, starting on the date of delivery. Warranty claims must be submitted within those 12 months by emailing support@hajex.com with your order number, a description of the problem, and photos or a short video. A prepaid return shipping label may be provided, or you may book your return via https://www.hajexbolt.com.

Claims are processed within 7–10 business days of receiving the returned item or the photos we ask for.

Once a warranty claim is confirmed, you will receive one of the following:

  1. Store credit refund
  2. Replacement item or parts (subject to stock availability — shipping is not covered)

8.1 How to Return

  • Contact us first at support@hajex.com so we can confirm the return and give you the return address
  • Use the prepaid return label if provided — print it on any printer, make sure the barcode is visible, and protect the label in a plastic sleeve
  • Pack the item securely, in packaging similar in size and weight balance to the original

Return address: 10051–10061 Rue Mirabeau, Anjou, QC H1J 1T7

8.2 Pickups & Site Visits

Pickups and site visits are by prior arrangement only. Our locations are working warehouses — staff may be out on delivery, on break, or away without notice, and posted hours do not guarantee someone is on site. Please call or email on the day you plan to visit and wait for confirmation before travelling. HAJEX is not responsible for costs arising from unannounced visits.

9. Gift Returns

If the item was marked as a gift and shipped directly to you, you will receive store credit for the value of the return once the item is received.

If the item was not marked as a gift, or was shipped to the gift-giver first, the refund will be issued to the original purchaser. Contact us to discuss exceptions.
