Straightforward policies from your Colorado Springs go-to for used outdoor gear

Shipping

Gearonimo Sports currently ships to the lower 48 states only.

Smaller packages ship free. Standard-size items ship at no extra cost within the lower 48.

We process and ship orders on business days only: Monday–Friday, excluding holidays. Orders placed before 12 PM Mountain Time on a business day ship the same day. Orders placed after 12 PM, on weekends, or on holidays ship the next business day. All shipping timelines are measured in business days.

If you miss the cutoff and need same-day shipping, please call (719) 465-2450 so we can help expedite your order through the queue.

Large packages

Skis, snowboards, and oversized gear ship for $40 per large item (per pair of skis) within the lower 48 states. This includes ski poles, skateboards, and other special-handling gear.

The $40-per-large-item shipping charge is shown at checkout before you place your order.

We ship through UPS, USPS, and FedEx. Questions regarding delivery after shipment should be directed to the carrier listed in your tracking details.

Gearonimo Sports — Returns & Refunds

We want you to feel confident about your gear. When your order arrives, take a look and try it on indoors before heading outside. If something isn’t right—or you’re unsure whether it qualifies for a return—please reach out. We’ll help you understand your options.

Online returns: contact us within 14 days of delivery

For eligible online orders of $50 or more, you can request a return within 14 calendar days after the item is delivered. Approved mailed returns are refunded to your original payment method, less the applicable costs explained below.

Your first call, voicemail, email, or contact-form message counts as your request date. Waiting for our response will not make an otherwise timely request late.

Orders with a merchandise subtotal below $50 are not eligible for mailed returns for fit, size preference, or change of mind. Our in-store credit option below remains available. If we sent the wrong item, it arrived damaged or defective, or it materially differs from its description, please contact us regardless of the order value.

The $50 threshold is based on your original merchandise subtotal after discounts, excluding shipping and tax.

Check it indoors and keep it in the condition received

Indoor try-ons and inspection are welcome. Please keep any attached tags in place and include all parts and accessories supplied with your item.

For fit or change-of-mind returns, gear must be in the same condition as when you received it. We cannot accept gear that has since been used outdoors, washed, mounted or drilled, altered, or returned with removed tags, missing parts, or new wear or damage.

For pre-owned gear, “same condition” means its condition when delivered—not brand-new condition. Existing wear is not a reason to reject a return.

If you discover a defect or another problem, contact us so we can review it separately from these fit and change-of-mind conditions.

Return shipping and fees

For eligible mailed returns because of fit, size preference, or change of mind:

  • You pay the return shipping cost. We can arrange a label and deduct its quoted cost from your refund, or you can arrange tracked shipping yourself using our return instructions.
  • Most items have no restocking fee.
  • A $35 restocking fee per return applies when the return includes skis, snowboards, or another item identified as oversized on its product page before purchase. This fee is separate from return shipping.
  • Shipping charges paid on the original order are not refunded. If your order shipped free, we do not deduct an outbound shipping charge afterward.

We’ll explain any applicable deductions before you send your gear back.

Wrong item, damage, defects, or an inaccurate description

Please get in touch if we sent something different from what you ordered, your gear arrived damaged or defective, or its condition materially differs from the listing. Include your order number and, where helpful, photos of the item and packaging.

For these returns, we cover return shipping and waive the restocking fee. We refund the affected item and applicable tax, together with the original shipping charge attributable to it. If the entire order is returned for one of these reasons, we refund the full original shipping charge.

If it’s unclear what happened, we’ll review the order details, listing, and information you provide before explaining the available resolution and any costs. Please contact us even if the usual return window has passed.

Prefer to bring it into the shop?

Online purchases can be brought into our Colorado Springs shop within 48 hours of delivery for store credit, with no return shipping or restocking fee. This option is available for orders under $50 too.

The same-condition requirements above apply. Please bring your order confirmation. Original shipping charges are not included in the store credit.

This is a separate option from the 14-day mailed return for a refund to your original payment method. Purchases made in our physical shop have a 48-hour return window from purchase for store credit.

Wrong, damaged, defective, or materially misdescribed items are handled under the issue-resolution section above, rather than being limited to store credit.

How to start a return

Contact us using whichever method is easiest:

Please provide your name, order number, the item you want to return, and a brief explanation. We respond within three business days.

For mailed returns, please wait for our instructions, then ship within seven calendar days of receiving them. Pack the gear securely, include your order number, and keep your tracking receipt. If you need help meeting that shipping deadline, contact us before it expires.

Receiving your refund

Once your return arrives, we’ll inspect it and issue your refund promptly if it meets this policy. We’ll confirm the refund and any agreed deductions by email. Your bank or payment provider may take additional time to post the funds.

If there is a concern about the returned item’s condition, we’ll contact you with an explanation before deciding the next step.

We currently handle mailed returns through refunds rather than exchanges. If you need different gear, please place a new order.

This policy does not limit any rights you have under applicable law.

Shipping & returns FAQ

Quick answers to help you order and return with confidence.

Where do you ship, and how much does it cost?

We ship to the lower 48 states via UPS, USPS, and FedEx. Standard-size items ship free. Skis, snowboards, and oversized gear ship for $40 per large item (per pair of skis). Applicable shipping charges are shown at checkout.

When will my order ship—and when will it arrive?

Orders placed before 12 PM Mountain Time on a business day ship the same day. Later orders, weekend orders, and holiday orders ship the next business day. Business days are Monday–Friday, excluding holidays. The shipping date is not the delivery date; transit time varies by carrier and destination. Check your tracking details for delivery updates. If you miss the cutoff and need help with same-day shipping, call (719) 465-2450.

Can I return gear if it doesn’t fit or I change my mind?

For eligible online orders with an original merchandise subtotal of $50 or more after discounts, excluding shipping and tax, contact us within 14 calendar days of delivery to request a mailed return. Approved returns are refunded to your original payment method, less applicable costs. Your first call, voicemail, email, or contact-form message counts as your request date—even if our reply comes later.

Can I try on my gear before returning it?

Yes—indoor try-ons and inspection are welcome. Keep attached tags in place and include all supplied parts and accessories. Fit or change-of-mind returns must be in the condition received: no outdoor use, washing, mounting, drilling, alterations, removed tags, missing parts, or new wear or damage. Pre-owned gear does not have to look brand-new; existing wear is not a reason to reject a return. Contact us separately about defects or other problems.

What if my order was under $50?

Orders with an original merchandise subtotal below $50 after discounts, excluding shipping and tax, are not eligible for mailed fit, size-preference, or change-of-mind returns. You can bring an online purchase into our Colorado Springs shop within 48 hours of delivery for store credit, subject to the same-condition requirements. Please contact us about wrong, damaged, defective, or materially misdescribed items regardless of order value.

Will I pay return shipping or a restocking fee?

For eligible fit, size-preference, or change-of-mind mailed returns, you pay return shipping. We can arrange a label and deduct its quoted cost, or you can arrange tracked shipping using our instructions. Most items have no restocking fee. A $35 fee per return applies when it includes skis, snowboards, or another item identified as oversized on its product page before purchase. We explain applicable deductions before you ship.

Is the $35 return fee the same as the $40 shipping charge?

No. The $40 charge is outbound shipping per large item (per pair of skis). The $35 restocking fee is per eligible fit or change-of-mind return that includes skis, snowboards, or an item identified as oversized before purchase. Return shipping is separate. We cover return shipping and waive the restocking fee for wrong, damaged, defective, or materially misdescribed items.

Are my original shipping charges refunded?

For fit, size-preference, or change-of-mind returns, original shipping charges are not refunded. If your order shipped free, we do not deduct an outbound shipping charge afterward. For wrong, damaged, defective, or materially misdescribed items, we refund the original shipping attributable to the affected item; if the entire order is returned for one of these reasons, we refund the full original shipping charge.

What if my item arrives damaged, defective, or different from the listing?

Contact us with your order number and, where helpful, photos of the item and packaging—even if the usual return window has passed. For these returns, we cover return shipping, waive the restocking fee, and refund the affected item, applicable tax, and attributable original shipping. If the situation is unclear, we review the order, listing, and information you provide before explaining the available resolution and costs.

Can I return an online order at your Colorado Springs shop?

Yes. Bring your order confirmation and gear in its received condition within 48 hours of delivery for store credit, with no return shipping or restocking fee. This includes orders under $50. Original shipping is not included in the credit. Purchases made in the physical shop have a 48-hour window from purchase for store credit. Wrong, damaged, defective, or materially misdescribed items are handled separately and are not limited to store credit.

How do I start a return, and how long do I have to send it?

Email contact@gearonimosports.com, call (719) 465-2450, or contact us online. Include your name, order number, item, and a brief explanation. We respond within three business days. Wait for our return instructions, then ship within seven calendar days of receiving them. Pack securely, include your order number, and keep your tracking receipt. Contact us before the deadline if you need help meeting it.

When will I receive my refund? Can I exchange my gear?

Once your return arrives, we inspect it and issue your refund promptly if it meets the policy. We confirm the refund and agreed deductions by email; your bank or payment provider may take additional time to post the funds. If there is a concern about the item’s condition, we contact you before deciding the next step. Mailed returns are handled through refunds rather than exchanges—please place a new order for different gear.
