Prior to return of any material, product may be subject to Airgas inspection. If the request is for a full cylinder of gas, Airgas will accept the cylinder back and treat as an empty cylinder. No credit will be issued unless return resulted from an Airgas error.
Should there be any problem with an order, backorder notifications will be emailed or faxed to end users. Backorders are always expedited and firm ship dates are requested and documented.
Airgas Standard Warranty
The tank change-out process requires minimal time commitment from the buyer. A site survey will be conducted at each site to thoroughly understand each site bulk gas needs and gas application. A transition plan will be submitted for approval to the using site that is non-disruptive and efficient. Airgas will coordinate the installation change-out date to ensure the existing tank inventory levels are nearly depleted thereby not wasting any product already purchased. The equipment change-out will be coordinated during a time frame when gas service is not required or when service interruption is minimal. Airgas can provide interim gas supply during the equipment change-out if there are no opportunities for an interruption of gas service supply.
