RETURN & REFUND POLICY
At Dewey's Catchem & How, we take pride in offering quality fishing gear, apparel, and outdoor products. Please review our return policy before making a purchase.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL EXCEPT FOR VERIFIED DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE.
We do not accept returns or exchanges due to changes of mind, personal preferences, incorrect purchases, unwanted merchandise, sizing issues, or items that simply do not meet a customer's expectations.
DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE — 14 DAYS
If an item is defective or does not function as intended, customers must report the issue within 14 days of purchase or delivery.
The following conditions apply:

A receipt or other proof of purchase is required.

The item must have been purchased from Dewey's Catchem & How.

All items must be inspected and tested to verify the reported defect.

If the item is confirmed defective, we will replace it with an identical, properly functioning item at no additional charge.

If an identical replacement is unavailable, a full refund will be issued to the original payment method.
-
If the item is tested and found to be functioning properly, no return, exchange, or refund will be provided.

Damage caused by misuse, improper installation, accidents, or normal wear and tear is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Refunds are only offered when a defect has been verified and an identical replacement is unavailable.
