Thank You for Choosing Monster Rod Holders

Monster Rod Holders is a family-owned and operated business located in Kentucky. We appreciate your business and work hard to ship orders quickly, provide dependable products, and support the sport of catfishing across the country.

This page explains our shipping policy, return policy, exchange policy, refund process, and lifetime replacement warranty.

Order Processing Time

After placing an online order through our website, live chat, or over the phone, our warehouse typically takes 24 to 48 business hours to pack your order and prepare it for pickup by one of our shipping carriers.

Our order cut-off time is 3:00 PM EST, Monday through Friday.

Orders placed on Saturday, Sunday, or a national holiday will begin processing on the next business day.

Shipping and Delivery

Orders are typically shipped by UPS or USPS.

Most orders are delivered within 2 to 5 business days after processing, depending on the carrier, destination, and shipping service selected at checkout.

Shipping charges are calculated automatically at checkout.

We do not ship orders on Saturday or Sunday. A signature may be required for delivery on certain orders.

If an item in your order is temporarily unavailable, we may contact you to either:

  • Ship the available items immediately and ship the remaining items when available, with no additional shipping charge; or
  • Hold the full order until all items are available.

International Shipping

We offer international shipping on select orders.

For international shipping quotes, please contact us by phone or live chat.

To provide an international shipping quote, we may need:

  • Order details
  • Billing address
  • Shipping address
  • Email address
  • Phone number

International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, brokerage fees, import fees, or other charges required by their country.

Return Policy

Standard 30-Day Return Policy

We accept returns within 30 days of delivery for eligible products.

This return policy applies to both defective and non-defective eligible products, including general returns such as ordering the wrong item or changing your mind.

To qualify for a standard return, the product must be:

  • Unused
  • Unassembled
  • In new, resalable condition
  • Returned with all original parts, accessories, and packaging when possible

Returned products must arrive at our facility in acceptable condition before a refund can be approved.

Return Method

All approved returns must be returned by mail.

Please contact Monster Rod Holders before shipping any product back. We will provide return instructions and let you know where the product should be sent.

Please do not send products back without first contacting us for return instructions.

Return Shipping Costs

For standard returns, including buyer’s remorse, ordering the wrong item, or choosing the wrong size or style, the customer is responsible for return shipping costs.

If the return is due to our error, a defective item, an incorrect item, or damage in transit, we will review the issue and may provide a prepaid return label or another appropriate resolution.

If you choose to purchase your own return shipping, we strongly recommend using a trackable shipping service and purchasing shipping insurance for the value of the returned product. Monster Rod Holders is not responsible for returned items lost or damaged in transit.

Defective, Damaged, or Incorrect Items

If your order arrives defective, damaged, or incorrect, please contact us as soon as possible.

We may request photos, order information, and a description of the issue so we can review the claim.

For approved defective, damaged, or incorrect-item claims, we may offer a replacement, exchange, repair, store credit, refund, prepaid return label, or another appropriate resolution depending on the situation.

Return Exceptions

Some products may have return restrictions due to size, use, packaging, freight cost, or product category.

Oversized, specialty, or large-format products, including certain rod racks and landing nets, may require return approval before they can be shipped back.

Products may not qualify for a refund if they are:

  • Used
  • Assembled
  • Damaged
  • Missing parts
  • Not in new, resalable condition
  • Damaged by misuse, abuse, improper installation, accidents, or normal wear and tear

These return restrictions do not limit your rights if a product arrives defective, damaged in transit, or if the wrong item was sent.

Refund Process

Refunds are issued after the returned product has been received and inspected.

Approved refunds are typically processed within 5 to 10 business days after inspection.

Refunds will be issued back to the original payment method when possible. Your bank, credit card company, PayPal, or payment provider may require additional time to post the refund to your account.

Original shipping charges are not refundable unless the return is due to our error, a defective item, an incorrect item, or damage in transit.

Monster Rod Holders reserves the right to reduce or deny a refund if returned products are used, assembled, damaged, missing parts, or not returned in resalable condition.

Exchange Policy

We accept exchanges within 30 days of delivery for eligible products that are unused, unassembled, and in new, resalable condition.

Customers are responsible for shipping costs related to standard exchanges unless the exchange is due to our error, a defective item, an incorrect item, or damage in transit.

If the replacement item has a different price, the customer may be responsible for the price difference.

How to Start a Return or Exchange

To start a return or exchange, please contact Monster Rod Holders before shipping the product back.

Please include:

  • Your order number
  • Name
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Product being returned or exchanged
  • Reason for the return or exchange
  • Photos, if the item is defective, damaged, or incorrect

Please do not send products back without first contacting us for return instructions.

Payment Verification and Fraud Prevention

Most PayPal, credit card, and debit card purchases are shipped within our normal processing timeframe.

However, we may hold an order if we are unable to verify payment information, shipping information, billing information, or if we suspect fraudulent activity.

If additional information is needed, we will contact you within 24 to 48 business hours.

For PayPal orders, we may only ship to verified PayPal addresses.

For credit card orders, we may contact you if the shipping address does not match the billing address or address of record.

These verification steps may delay shipping, but they help protect customers and our business from fraud.

Lifetime Replacement Warranty — Fair Use Policy

Separate from Our Standard Return Policy

Our lifetime replacement warranty is separate from our standard 30-day return and refund policy.

The warranty applies to qualifying product failures under normal fishing use. Warranty claims are handled as replacements, not general merchandise returns or refunds.

For standard returns, refunds, exchanges, return shipping costs, and return timeframes, please refer to the return policy above.

Customer Service

Your complete satisfaction is important to us.

If you have questions about shipping, returns, exchanges, refunds, or warranty claims, please contact Monster Rod Holders by phone, email, or live chat.

Thank you for supporting our family-owned business.
