1. General Returns Policy

Returns and refunds may be available for eligible products and orders, subject to the terms of this policy and applicable law.

Because certain propane products, cylinders, containers, equipment, and related materials may be subject to safety, transportation, handling, regulatory, or contamination restrictions, not every product is necessarily eligible for return.

Before returning any product, customers should contact California Propane and obtain return instructions.

Customers should not ship, transport, or otherwise return propane or other potentially hazardous materials without receiving appropriate instructions from California Propane.

2. Eligible Returns

A product may be eligible for return where:

  • The wrong product was supplied.

  • The product is materially different from the product ordered.

  • The product arrived damaged.

  • The product has a verified defect.

  • California Propane specifically authorizes the return.

  • A return is otherwise required under applicable law.

Additional eligibility requirements may apply depending on the product and circumstances of the transaction.

Products must generally be returned in the condition required by California Propane for the particular return.

3. Products That May Have Return Restrictions

Certain products may be subject to special return restrictions because of their nature, safety requirements, handling requirements, or applicable laws and regulations.

These may include, where applicable:

  • Propane or other fuel products.

  • Filled cylinders or containers.

  • Products containing hazardous or regulated materials.

  • Products that cannot safely be transported after delivery.

  • Products that have been installed, connected, modified, or used.

  • Products that have been contaminated or altered.

  • Custom or specially ordered products.

  • Products specifically identified as non-returnable before purchase.

A product will not be considered non-returnable merely because it is inconvenient to return. Any applicable restriction will be based on the nature of the product, its condition, applicable requirements, or the circumstances of the transaction.

Where applicable law provides a customer with a mandatory return, refund, replacement, or other remedy, those rights will not be limited by this policy.

4. Damaged Products

Customers should inspect products when reasonably possible after delivery.

If a product arrives damaged, customers should contact California Propane as soon as reasonably possible and provide:

  • Order information.

  • Description of the damage.

  • Photographs or other supporting information where available.

  • Any relevant delivery documentation.

Customers should not attempt to repair, modify, open, dismantle, or otherwise alter a damaged propane product or related equipment.

Where appropriate, California Propane may provide instructions regarding the safe handling of the affected product.

After reviewing the circumstances, we may offer an appropriate remedy, which may include a replacement, repair where appropriate, refund, credit, or other resolution permitted by applicable law.

5. Incorrect or Mis-Shipped Products

If California Propane supplies a product that is materially different from the product ordered, please contact us as soon as possible.

We may request information or photographs to verify the issue.

Where the error is confirmed, California Propane will work with the customer to arrange an appropriate resolution, which may include replacement, return, refund, or another remedy permitted by applicable law.

Customers should not use or modify an incorrectly supplied product while waiting for return instructions.

6. Defective Products

If you believe a product is defective, contact California Propane and provide a description of the issue.

Depending on the product, we may request photographs, product identification information, serial numbers, purchase information, or other details reasonably necessary to evaluate the issue.

Where a manufacturer warranty applies, the product may be handled in accordance with the applicable warranty requirements.

If the product is determined to be defective and is eligible for a remedy, California Propane may provide an appropriate solution in accordance with applicable law and the applicable warranty or product terms.

7. Change-of-Mind Returns

Whether a customer may return an otherwise correctly supplied product because of a change of mind depends on the product, transaction, condition of the product, and applicable law.

Certain propane products and related items may not be eligible for change-of-mind returns because of safety, handling, transportation, regulatory, or product-specific considerations.

Where a change-of-mind return is available, California Propane will communicate the applicable eligibility requirements before the return is authorized.

Nothing in this section limits any mandatory consumer right provided by applicable law.

8. Return Authorization

Customers must contact California Propane before returning an eligible product.

To request a return, please provide:

  • Customer name.

  • Order or transaction information.

  • Product name or description.

  • Reason for the return.

  • Delivery or purchase date, where available.

  • Photographs or supporting documentation where appropriate.

We will review the request and provide return instructions where the product is eligible for return.

Products returned without prior authorization may be delayed or may not be accepted where the return creates safety, regulatory, identification, or handling concerns.

9. Return Shipping and Costs

Where California Propane supplied an incorrect product, or where a product is confirmed to have arrived damaged or defective, California Propane will determine the appropriate return or replacement arrangements in accordance with applicable law.

For other eligible returns, responsibility for return shipping or related costs will depend on the circumstances of the return and will be communicated before the return is authorized.

Customers should not independently ship propane, fuel, hazardous materials, or other regulated products without receiving appropriate instructions.

10. Refund Eligibility

Where a refund is approved, the amount refunded will generally correspond to the amount properly refundable under the applicable transaction and applicable law.

Depending on the circumstances, a refund may include:

  • The purchase price of the eligible product.

  • Applicable taxes associated with the refunded product.

  • Eligible delivery or shipping charges where required or appropriate.

Charges that are not refundable under the applicable transaction or law may be excluded.

Any applicable deductions will be communicated to the customer where required.

11. Refund Processing

Once an eligible return has been received and reviewed, or once California Propane has otherwise determined that a refund is appropriate, the refund will be processed through the applicable payment method where reasonably possible.

The time required for the refund to appear in the customer’s account may depend on the payment provider, financial institution, card issuer, or other payment service.

California Propane does not control the processing time of independent financial institutions.

12. Refunds for Cancelled Orders

Where an order is cancelled and a refund is due, the refund will be handled in accordance with our Cancellation Policy and applicable law.

The timing and amount of any refund may depend on whether the order has already been processed, prepared, dispatched, scheduled, or delivered.

13. Exchanges and Replacements

Where appropriate, California Propane may offer a replacement or exchange instead of a refund.

A replacement or exchange may be subject to:

  • Product availability.

  • Product condition.

  • Safety requirements.

  • Warranty terms.

  • Applicable regulations.

  • Other circumstances relating to the transaction.

Where the replacement product has a different price, any applicable price difference will be communicated before the replacement is confirmed.

14. Propane and Safety-Related Returns

Propane and related products require special care.

Customers must not:

  • Ship propane through an ordinary parcel service without authorization.

  • Transfer propane into another container unless legally authorized and properly equipped.

  • Attempt to repair a leaking or damaged propane container.

  • Tamper with valves, fittings, regulators, or safety equipment.

  • Return a hazardous product using an unsafe transportation method.

If a propane product appears damaged, leaking, or otherwise unsafe, customers should move away from the immediate hazard where appropriate and follow applicable emergency and safety procedures.

Customers should contact California Propane for appropriate instructions regarding the affected product.

15. Return Condition

Where a return is authorized, the product should be returned in the condition specified by California Propane.

Depending on the product, return requirements may include:

  • Original packaging where reasonably applicable.

  • Product identification.

  • Accessories supplied with the product.

  • Documentation.

  • Proof of purchase.

  • Safe and compliant preparation for return.

Propane and regulated products may be subject to additional handling requirements.

16. Proof of Purchase

California Propane may request reasonable information to verify a purchase before processing a return, replacement, or refund.

Acceptable information may include:

  • Order number.

  • Receipt.

  • Invoice.

  • Email confirmation.

  • Transaction information.

  • Customer account information.

If you cannot locate your purchase information, please contact us so we can determine whether the transaction can be verified using other reasonable information.

17. Non-Receipt or Missing Items

If you believe that an order or part of an order has not been received, please contact California Propane promptly.

We may review available delivery records, order information, and other relevant information before determining the appropriate resolution.

Where a delivery is confirmed but an item is reported missing, additional verification may be required.

18. Unauthorized Returns

Products should not be returned without contacting California Propane first.

This is particularly important for propane, fuel, hazardous materials, pressurized containers, and other products that may require specialized handling or transportation.

An unauthorized return may create safety or regulatory concerns and may delay resolution of the customer’s request.

19. Consumer Rights

This policy does not exclude, restrict, or replace any consumer rights, warranties, remedies, or protections that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable federal, state, or local law.

If applicable law provides a customer with a right to a repair, replacement, refund, cancellation, return, or other remedy, California Propane will comply with that requirement.

20. Policy Changes

California Propane may update this Returns & Refunds Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our products, services, business practices, legal requirements, or return procedures.

The updated policy will be published on this page.

Changes to this policy will not retroactively remove rights or remedies that apply to transactions already completed where prohibited by applicable law.
