• Let Warranty Valet assist you in claiming Kelty warranty hassle-free.

Step 1:

  • Kelty separates standard returns from special-case claims like defective items, wrong shipments, and airbed returns.

  • Defective products and damaged items must be handled directly through Kelty’s support form or live chat system.

  • Standard returns can be initiated using the UPS tracking link included in your shipment confirmation email.

Step 2:

  • Kelty’s return process is built around a UPS self-service return label system, allowing customers to generate labels digitally.

  • Returns for sizing problems or inaccurate product descriptions qualify for a free UPS return label, while other return reasons may deduct a $15 shipping fee from the refund.

  • Products must be returned unused, with original tags, packaging, and unopened safety seals to qualify for refund approval.

Step 3:

  • Once the returned package reaches Kelty’s distribution center, refunds are generally processed within 2 weeks.

  • Instead of direct exchanges, Kelty recommends placing a new order immediately so replacement gear does not go out of stock.

  • Customers are encouraged to keep their UPS tracking number since Kelty’s responsibility begins only after the return arrives at the warehouse.

Kelty Warranty Period:

  • Kelty offers a mixed warranty system depending on the product type.
