3 Simple Steps for Kelty Warranty Claim
Chat or Submit a Claim
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.
