Chargebacks & DisputesUpdated 17 days ago

Chargebacks and payment disputes are serious financial and legal actions. While we understand that misunderstandings can occur, chargebacks should only be used as a last resort—not as a shortcut to bypass our return, cancellation, or warranty policies. Revline Performance always works with customers to resolve issues directly and transparently.


Chargebacks Are Not a Replacement for Our Return Process

Our return and support policies exist to give customers clear, fair avenues for help. Filing a chargeback instead of contacting us:

  • Delays resolution

  • Raises flags with payment processors

  • Can prevent us from properly assisting you

  • May result in your order being locked from further adjustments

We encourage all customers to reach out to our support team before initiating a dispute—we can almost always resolve the issue faster.


How We Respond to Chargebacks

If a chargeback is filed, we are required to submit documentation to the bank or payment processor. This typically includes:

  • Order history and timestamps

  • Tracking and delivery scans

  • Photos of delivered items (if applicable)

  • Correspondence between our team and the customer

  • Signed delivery confirmations (when available)

  • Screenshots of product pages and policies

  • Proof of special-order terms, cancellation policy, or return policy acceptance

Our goal is to provide an accurate, complete record to help the bank review the dispute fairly.


Common Reasons Banks Deny Chargebacks

Banks frequently deny chargebacks when:

  • The item was delivered and verified by the carrier

  • The product is non-returnable (special order / custom / installed / used)

  • The customer did not follow the return process

  • The wrong item was ordered due to customer error

  • The customer made a duplicate dispute or repeated unauthorized claims

  • Order notes, IP logs, and payment authorization confirm validity

Submitting a chargeback does not guarantee approval.


Consequences of Abusive or Fraudulent Chargebacks

To protect our business and pricing for all customers, we may take action if a customer repeatedly files invalid or abusive disputes. This may include:

  • Restricting future purchases

  • Requiring signature confirmation on all orders

  • Blocking the customer account

  • Reporting fraudulent activity to payment processors

This is standard practice across the automotive aftermarket industry.


How to Avoid a Dispute

If something isn’t right with your order:

  1. Reach out to us first — most issues are fixable.

  2. Provide photos/videos if something arrived damaged or incorrect.

  3. Ask for clarification on lead times, backorders, or warranty coverage.

  4. Follow the return or warranty process so we can help quickly.

We’re here to support you every step of the way.
