We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags if issued, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase. There is a 10% restocking fee to help pay for costs such as handling, x-rays, and other tests to determine the gear is not damaged.
To start a return, you can contact us at info@ballantynegear.com. If your return appears to meet the eligibility requirements, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.
You can always contact us for any return question at info@ballantynegear.com.
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged, or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.
Referral Program FAQs
Referral marketing essentially means that you refer others to purchase our products by word of mouth. We want to reward you for spreading the word by giving you a generous commission for your time. When a customer you refer purchases products from us you will receive 5% of everything they purchase for one full year!
While there are similarities between the two types of marketing, referral marketing takes a more personal, direct approach. We want people who know, like, and use our brand to refer others to our products based on their experience and interactions with us.
VP of Marketing at Ballantyne Gear, Amy Ballantyne manages the program and uses GoAffPro to manage the technical backend of our referral program. They are highly rated and provide the unique specifications we need in order to give you commissions for a full year.
No! Many people who love our product don't work on a roof themselves but they love being ambassadors for our brand. We want to reward anyone who sends business our way. Anyone 18 and older can join our referral program.
Once you sign up for your free account and upload your W-9, your account will be activated to receive commissions. Once your account reaches $50 in commissions it you will receive your funds the next billing cycle.

There are a few different parameters set up to ensure you receive credit for your customer.
1) You will be given a unique URL specifically to you. This is the only link that will track your sales. Once clicked, this URL activates a tracking cookie that is valid for 7 days. A tracking cookie is a digital footprint to trace back to your account for credit of the sale. If Your potential customer creates an account or makes a purchase within that 7 day period using that link, the accounts will be automatically connected. Encouraging your customer to create an account before they purchase immediately links your accounts.
After that 7 days your potential client can re-click your unique URL or you can do the step below.
2) However, you can also give your potential client your name and referral code and we will process the sale on our end connecting your accounts (no matter the time frame past the 7 days).
You will find your referral code after the = sign in your URL. For example if my Referral Program URL was www.BallantyneGear.com=TestABC, TestABC would be my referral code I would give with my name.
3) Many times Ballantyne Gear creates a custom quote for clients and sends that quote via email to the customer to complete the transaction.

You can track your sales and commissions in your dashboard, but feel free to follow up with Ballantyne Gear and/or your customer.
