At Weller, we value your business and strive to make the core return process as smooth as possible. Our core return policy is built on trust and partnership, ensuring that doing business with Weller is not only easy but also beneficial for our customers. We pride ourselves on having the most flexible core return policy in the industry, including a return window up to a full year. This generous policy underscores our commitment to you and highlights our dedication to accommodating customer needs. While we do expect a fair rebuildable core, our primary goal is to ensure that you have a positive and efficient experience with us.

  • Fair Rebuildable Core
    • A “Fair Rebuildable Core” is a core that is like-for-like and from the customer vehicle.

  • Payment and Core Charges
    • Invoices are to be paid in full, including core charges.
    • Please note that reduced credit due to cores that do not meet our criteria of a fair rebuildable core may lead to an additional balance or past due amount on your account.

  • Return Timeframe
    • You have one year from the original invoice date to return your core for full credit.
    • For returns after one year, Weller reserves the right to extend eligibility for a reduced core rate.

  • Dealer Stocking Units
    • If you stock our units, notify us at the time of installation.
    • Include company name, location, phone number, contact name, unit model number, serial number, and installation date.
    • The 1-year return timeframe starts when the unit is sold to your customer, with proof of purchase or defaults to the original purchase date.

  • Return Process
    • Cores can be returned in several ways including:
      • Our Mobile App
      • Our Customer Portal at wellertruck.com
      • By emailing corereturn@wellertruck.com
      • By calling your nearest Weller location.
        • https://wellertruck.com/locations
      • Weller pays freight on core returns when returned via the options above. Avoid other return methods to prevent extra freight charges.  We do not pay collect.
  • Core Tag and Identification
    • Attach our Return Core tag securely to the appropriate comparable core.
    • The core return tag can be found wire tied to the original unit sale.
    • If you are missing a core tag, you can reprint one via our customer portal. Or you may contact your local Weller location
    • Proper identification helps us process your core credit promptly.
  • Visual Inspection and Deductions
    • Cores undergo a visual inspection upon return.
    • We expect to receive a fair rebuildable core.
      • Return of unfair or non-rebuildable core may result in a deduction of core value or additional charges.
    • Deductions or additional charges may also apply for visibly damaged cores. For example:
      • Broken main cases in transmissions.
      • Bad or broken carriers and caps in differentials.
      • Transmissions or differentials damaged due to improper lubrication.
      • Rust from prolonged weather exposure.
      • Disassembled cores. Cores should come back fully assembled.

    • Like-for-Like Cores
      • Cores should match the original unit unless Weller has agreed otherwise.
      • Non-like for like cores may lead to a reduction or loss in the credit amount, and maybe subject to be returned freight collect, or be scrapped.
