Customers are entitled to return their product within 14 days from the date of purchase for either a refund or an exchange. After this period, we are unable to process returns or refunds.


2. Return Policy for Products

To be eligible for a return and subsequent refund or exchange, the following criteria must be met:

  • The item must be unused and in the original condition in which it was received.
  • The item must be returned in its original packaging.
  • The item must not be a sale or close-out item at the time of purchase.
  • The customer has a valid receipt or proof of purchase is required to process any return, refund, or exchange.

 

3. Non-Returnable Items

The following items are non-returnable and non-refundable:

4. Shipping Back Items

Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer and are non-refundable. If a refund is issued, return shipping costs will be deducted from the total. For items valued over $75, we recommend using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance, as we cannot guarantee receipt of returned items. Refrain from returning products to the manufacturer directly.

Customers with orders shipped outside the United States are responsible for verifying local fees, regulations, and policies regarding exchanges, returns, and shipping, including compliance with applicable customs duties and taxes.
