When return shipping for defective packaging aids is expensive, document the defect with photos and order details, then request a remote assessment before sending anything back. HTH states that its products have a one-year warranty and one-on-one after-sales service; it also describes arranging replacement or repair after a solution is confirmed. The available information does not specify a packaging-aid return-shipping policy, so confirm who bears freight costs directly with the supplier.
A practical resolution starts with evidence and a clear decision on whether the defective item must be returned. Share photos, the order reference, and a description of the defect, then ask the supplier to confirm whether it can assess the issue remotely. Do not assume that return freight will be waived or reimbursed: the supplied product details do not state a return-shipping arrangement for defective packaging aids.
HTH's general after-sales description says it aims to respond to complaints within 30 minutes and provide a solution within 24 hours. It also describes one-on-one remote technical guidance and says replacement or repair can be arranged after a solution is confirmed. These are company-level service statements; they do not establish that every packaging defect qualifies for a replacement without return.
For the Grab bar, HTH specifies a one-year product guarantee and one-on-one after-sales service. The product is made from 304SUS and PU, and its listed uses include bathrooms, shower rooms, and toilets. The product information describes quality inspection during production and a finished-product appearance inspection before packaging. 
HTH reports a long-running relationship with a United States importer and distributor for shower-seat products. The customer account describes shipment rescheduling support and consistent quality checks. This is a service example involving shower seats, not a stated case about defective packaging aids.
The company lists ISO 9001 certification as applicable to all products. Its other listed certifications apply to specified product categories and regions, so their relevance should be checked against the item in question.

Before paying for costly return shipping, document the defect and obtain written confirmation of the assessment, remedy, freight responsibility, and timing.
