Step 1:

  • Confirm that your RTIC product is still within its warranty period.

  • Keep your original proof of purchase ready because RTIC only covers products purchased directly from RTIC or authorized retail partners.

Step 2:

  • Call RTIC customer service to start the warranty claim process and explain the product issue.

  • Provide details about the defect, especially for issues like broken latches, cracked coolers, leaking seals, damaged handles, or zipper failures.

  • RTIC may request photos, proof of purchase, or additional inspection details before approving repair or replacement service.

Step 3:

  • RTIC reviews the claim to determine whether the problem was caused by a material or workmanship defect under normal use.

  • Approved claims may receive a repair or one-time replacement product at RTIC’s discretion.

  • Damage caused by normal wear, fading, misuse, unauthorized repairs, commercial use, water damage, or products bought from unauthorized sellers is not covered under warranty.
