Emailing pictures of the damage to us at email@rjmatthews.com may also help expedite the claim.

We will consider requests to return merchandise on the following basis:
1. Request for permission to return merchandise for credit should be made through your RJ Matthews Company customer care representative. Restocking fees and shipping charges may apply to returns.
2. Merchandise ordered in error, or shipped in error, can be returned for full credit if this error is reported within 3 business days, and the merchandise is in the same condition in which it was received. For items ordered in error, dealer pays the return shipping; for items shipped in error, RJ Matthews will reimburse dealer for return shipping. Shortages must be reported within 3 business days.

How are vaccines shipped?
Due to circumstances beyond our control and ever-changing weather conditions, we require vaccines to be shipped in an insulated container year-round. This insulated container helps protect your vaccines from freezing during the winter months and getting too warm during the non-winter months. Frozen cold packs are included in your insulated container. Don’t be alarmed if frozen cold packs are thawed when you receive your shipment; this is normal. Simply refrigerate your vaccines as soon as they arrive. Vaccines and other items requiring refrigeration are non-returnable.
A $5.95 charge will be added to all vaccine orders for the insulated container/frozen cold packs.
We recommend ordering vaccines as early in the week as possible to assure delivery by Friday*.
Please see the UPS Time In-Transit Map to help estimate the number of days needed to receive your vaccine order.
*Ask for details on UPS Air Saturday delivery where available.

Some exceptions may apply to the displayed time in-transit areas shown above. You’ll always be presented the appropriate shipping options for your zip code during checkout.
