Description: *Free returns on this item. See below. **China has now pirated/copied my item. There is an individual on eBay who trolls listings for original items to copy and then sell without permission(aka piracy) using multiple accounts. It's not funny. I actually figured out what their main account is which they think is anonymous. If you choose to buy their copy of my item, at the same time be sure to also give them the feedback they deserve. ***Any disclaimer made by any seller that says "No returns" or "Buyer pays return shipping" does not apply if the item doesn't work. If you buy an item that doesn't work just start the automated return process and then wait the number of days indicated to escalate the issue to a "case" if necessary which means eBay gets involved. eBay will enforce their money back guarantee which ensures that the seller provides you with a pre-paid return shipping label. Do not accept a promise by the seller to reimburse you later on. Demand a pre-paid return label for any item that doesn't work. eBay will help you do it. This is for a Zzepair zipper repair kit for replacing the zipper slider/head on YETI coolers with the 3/4" wide zipper shown. All of their soft sided coolers use this zipper. See image. Early Yeti's with a silver colored head on the zipper is not wide enough. Check yours or send me a photo. As for the Chinese copies of my item there is no such thing as a "3/8 zipper" on a Yeti cooler or a 20" fix. They're just cut/pasting my info. Those are the kind of specs you get from people who have never even seen a Yeti in person. Also, look very closely at their photos. They are using the cheapest materials and the cheapest fasteners possible, no stainless steel(rust) and no locking nut. Those are built for profit, not built to last. You will receive the kit shown including 20" inches of premium paracord(lasts longer and frays less when cut) to get you up and running along with a set of instructions sent via eBay messages. Your entire zipper needs to be intact. A tooth missing here and there is usually ok. More about this below. If you still have your original Yeti pull handle you can attach it with the cord. Do not attach any metal rings or metal loops directly to this replacement head. Only use soft nylon or leather cord. Zippers in general have a single zipper pull attached on the top center of the head which is more convenient but it can contribute to aging these zippers prematurely. This replacement head has zipper pulls at each end where they belong. A zipper works better and lasts longer with a pull at each end. If your zipper has 3 or more consecutive missing teeth then this is not likely to work. Replacement teeth will be available soon. The gap across 3 missing teeth is too wide and the new head will tend to come off the zipper at that spot where the 3 teeth are missing. If your cooler has a lid and you have 2 or more consecutive teeth missing in a corner of the lid then this is not likely to work for the same reason. The new head will walk off of the zipper at that spot in the corner where the 2 teeth are missing. This has free returns so you could still try it. Do not buy this kit if you are not willing to wax your zipper before attaching this new head. You don't need special zipper wax. A cheap stick of chapped lip balm sold at the grocery store checkout works fine plus it's food safe. Optional zipper stop:If your zipper is missing the hard plastic U-shaped stop at either end you will need to make a new end-stop. An end-stop is required to prevent the new head from sliding off of the end of the zipper teeth. Let me know and I can add a ziptie to your shipment. The best way to add a new stop is to pierce the cooler just above and below the zipper and then run a ziptie through it. The ideal place for the ziptie is actually just before the teeth begin. There is a trade off in doing this. Two tiny holes up near the top will leave your cooler 99% watertight but at the moment it's not watertight at all. The holes could also be sealed up with food grade silicone. *Guarantee: This is guaranteed to NOT work on some zippers. There's no other way to put it. Some zippers are just too far out of spec to get working again. It depends entirely on the condition of your zipper, the alignment of the teeth, and how hard it's been pulled/forced before, etc. No zipper is perfect including the original one. The best I can do is take this back if it doesn't work. While Yeti might not take returns if a zipper doesn't work, I will. If this doesn't work for you just return the entire kit for free within 30 days for a full refund. Your risk is the time to try this and the time to return it if it doesn't work. Yes, returns are a pain. It costs you time and it costs me -$15 average. This listing uses eBay's automated return process. You don't even need to ask me about a return. You can just go to your purchase history for this item and choose "Return This Item" and then choose "Didn't work" or "Doesn't fit" and the eBay system will generate a free return label for you that you can either print yourself or you can choose a "QR code" image which you show to USPS at the post office. They will scan the image off of your phone and print the return label for you at the counter. If this fixes your Yeti then rate me on that. If it doesn't work, which it might not but I hope it does, then rate me on the ease of return. No rating at all is also understandable. If you need this in time for an upcoming trip or other close deadline you should account for all factors including the time stated to get this to USPS plus their time to deliver it which I cannot control. Scroll up to check eBay's estimated delivery date range. The latest date is the most realistic. After design and manufacturing costs + eBay's seller fees + PayPal's transaction fees + postal shipping fees + a percentage of returns this is just barely worth selling online because of all the middle men. Otherwise a direct sale would only cost about $24. I did this to get otherwise perfectly good Yeti coolers back into service.

If there's a problem let me know and I'll work with you. My work keeps me away often so to be safe, handling time to get this shipped out is 3 business days. BIDDER SPECIFICS: This has to do with ensuring that new or infrequent buyers have a good experience. If you have less than 20 feedback or had a bad experience in the past 12 months please contact me first. If your feedback is private/hidden please contact me.
