Pool and Deck solutions made for the shade

Our products are designed to transform your pool, but mistakes can happen!

Defective Items

If something arrives damaged or defective, contact us right away — we’ve got you covered. Under the BajaMate Refund & Return Policy, we’ll verify the issue and arrange a replacement or refund at no cost to you. Our goal is to make sure your Baja shelf setup looks and performs exactly as it should, without the hassle or delay.

Used Item Returns

Don’t worry — we won’t throw you in the deep end (Baja shelf joke). If you purchased a BajaMate aluminum adapter but later discovered your setup really calls for stainless steel, or another model better suited for full-time water use, we can help. Our team reviews each case individually to find the best fit under the BajaMate Refund & Return Policy. In most cases, lightly used items can be evaluated for partial credit or an exchange once inspected and approved — because the right material makes all the difference in long-term performance.

Our return process

Once your return arrives and passes inspection, we’ll notify you of approval. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within 7–10 business days. Partial refunds may apply if an item shows wear, is missing parts, or isn’t in original condition.

FAQs

Can I return a BajaMate product if I ordered the wrong model?

Yes — we understand it happens! If you ordered the wrong BajaMate adapter type (for example, aluminum instead of stainless steel), contact us within 5 days of delivery. Our team will review your order and help arrange an exchange or partial credit under the BajaMate Refund & Return Policy.

Are returns accepted on custom or used products?

Custom-built products and heavily used items are non-returnable. However, lightly used or incorrectly ordered components (such as the wrong sleeve depth) may qualify for review and partial credit once inspected.

What’s the difference between aluminum and stainless BajaMate adapters?

Our aluminum adapters are ideal for partial-water or deck applications — lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to move. The 316 stainless steel versions are designed for full-time, in-water use and offer superior protection against salt, chlorine, and heat.

Do I pay for return shipping?

Yes — unless the return is due to a manufacturing defect or order error, customers are responsible for return shipping costs. Once approved, we’ll provide the correct return address and RMA number.

How long do refunds take to process?

Once your return is received and inspected, approved refunds are processed within 7–10 business days and credited to your original payment method.

Is the BajaMate baja shelf umbrella adapter compatible with all baja shelves?

The BajaMate Baja Shelf Umbrella Adapter is engineered for nearly 100% Baja shelf compatibility, fitting virtually every standard pool-builder sleeve used in Baja shelves, tanning ledges, and sun shelves over the past two decades. The only sleeves that occasionally pose a challenge are those that have been crushed, compressed, or warped over time. To overcome this, BajaMate uses a tapered precision pin and adjustable base system—a design that eliminates the need for a full-length drop-in sleeve while maintaining a snug, stable fit. This innovation allows the adapter to self-center and lock securely, even in slightly deformed sleeves, giving you near-universal fit and dependable in-pool umbrella stability.

For severely damaged sleeves, BajaMate also offers replacement sleeves in marine-grade aluminum or stainless steel, ensuring a perfect match and long-term durability for your pool umbrella system.
