Buying Kit from Another Builder

If you buy a kit from another builder, will Van's allow returns on unneeded items even if you aren't the original purchaser of the kit?

Call Vans for the best answer to your question.

I'm pretty sure that would be a No...

I bet you could get a partial return from Vans Air Force Classifieds section.

My neighbor creates metal artwork and I've given him a few unusable non-returnable items with interesting results. You know, those parts that were the result of my "education".

You can return for credit

I bought a kit from an inactive builder, and it included the cable for manual elevator trim (the original owner had ordered the electric trim kit). I returned it to Van's and they gave me a credit on my account (for full value if I recall correctly). Next time I ordered something, the cost was simply reduced by the amount of the credit. I did call before sending the cable back.
