Empty space must be filled with bubble pack, Styrofoam or white paper (no newsprint). Quality of an undamaged return is your responsibility, package with care. Packages not meeting these requirements will not be accepted and will be returned to the customer at the customer’s expense.

2. On your paperwork included with the return, write:

• the Invoice Number,
• the RAN, and
• How Many cartons are being returned.

3. On the outside of each carton, write the RAN.
