How long will it take to get a response back from United?

You should hear back from our Warranty Support Center within 24-48 business hours from receipt of your correspondence. If replacement parts are to be sent, please add 1-2 weeks of additional time (including shipping).

If there is agreement that this is an applicable warranty claim due to a manufacturing defect, but not for normal wear and tear, United Solutions will either:

  • Replace the product in question with a like item; or
  • Issue a refund in the amount of the purchase based on the dated sales receipt that may be redeemed at any retailer that stocks a current, similar Rubbermaid® product. If you submit the dated sales receipt (or a copy thereof), the value of the certificate will reflect the price reflected on the sales receipt. If you submit a copy of the date wheel, the value of the certificate will reflect the average retail price of the warranted item.
