Windy City Detectors 100% satisfaction policy
If you purchased a metal detector from Windy City and are not 100% satisfied with your purchase you can return it NEW OR USED.
Deciding on a metal detector can be a difficult task, with so many models, so many features it is hard to decide what’s best for you.
We always recommend going to your nearest dealer for a hands-on demo, with all the information available on the internet today it is much easier to narrow your search down to a few models to meet your needs however nothing replaces that hands-on experience.
We also understand it is not always possible to go to a dealer when you don’t have any in your area, that is why we have come up with this policy in hopes of helping you make the right decision, and not being stuck with a detector that is not right for you.
If you are experiencing a problem with your detector please give us a call before returning, we may be able to assist you to be sure you are using your detector correctly, if at that time you are still not happy with your purchase we can discuss you returning it for credit or refund.
