Return Eligibility
To be eligible for a return, items must be unused, in their original packaging, and in the same condition as when you received them. Certain items may be exempt from being returned, including those that are marked as final sale or non-returnable at the time of purchase. If you are unsure whether your item is eligible for return, please contact us for clarification.
Return Process
To initiate a return, you must request a return authorization by emailing us at [email protected]. In your email, please include your order number, the item(s) you wish to return, and the reason for the return. We will respond with instructions on how to proceed with the return. Returns must be requested within 30 days of receiving your order to be considered valid.
Return Shipping Costs
Customers are responsible for all return shipping costs unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. We recommend using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance for items over a certain value. We cannot guarantee that we will receive your returned item, and you are responsible for any loss or damage during return shipping.
Refund Processing Time
Once we receive your returned item, we will inspect it and notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If approved, your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your original method of payment within a certain number of days, typically 5-10 business days. Please note that depending on your bank or credit card company, it may take additional time for the refund to reflect in your account.
Exchanges
We do not offer direct exchanges. If you would like to exchange an item for a different size or color, you must return the original item and place a new order for the desired item. Please follow the return process outlined above to return the original item before placing a new order.
Damaged or Defective Items
If you receive a damaged or defective item, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with your order number and a description of the issue. We may request photos of the damage to assist in processing your claim. If the item is confirmed to be damaged or defective, we will provide instructions for a return and issue a full refund or replacement at no additional cost.
