Callaway Pre-Owned allows you to return eligible clubs within 15 days of receipt for refund to your original payment method. Clubs must be in original condition and unplayed. The retailer also offers a separate buy-back program with extended windows up to 90 days, though with tiered refund percentages based on how long you have owned the clubs.

How returns work

Returns are processed by mail. Log into your account, view your order history, select the items you wish to return, and follow the online RMA process to obtain your RMA number and free FedEx return shipping label. Include a copy of your invoice and your RMA number on the exterior of the package.

Exclusions and restrictions

Clubs that have been hit or played are not returnable. Individual clubs cannot be returned from a set; complete sets must be returned together. Clubs with structural damage, modifications, chips, dings, or pop-up marks do not meet the condition standard for return. The retailer does not publish other categories of excluded items.

Refunds

Refunds are issued to your original payment method and arrive within 15 to 20 business days from when Callaway receives your return. If you paid by credit card, the refund goes to that card, or by check if the card is unavailable. Rewards points are reimbursed to your rewards account first, with any remaining balance to your payment method. Affirm refunds may take up to 30 days to appear on your Affirm balance. You are responsible for return shipping costs unless the club is defective, in which case Callaway reimburses standard ground return shipping if you contact them within 15 days of receipt.
