To start a Self-Serve Return:

Returns sent without being submitted through the Self-Serve Return Portal or without prior phone approval may be refused.


Return Shipping

  • Return shipping costs are the customer’s responsibility.
  • We strongly recommend using a trackable shipping method. We are not responsible for items lost or damaged during return transit.
  • Original product packaging must be placed inside a protective shipping box or materials to prevent damage during transit.
  • Do not attach shipping labels directly to, or ship items in, the manufacturer’s packaging alone.

Restocking Fee for Orders with Free Shipping

  • Orders that qualified for our Free Shipping Offer are subject to a 15% restocking fee if returned.
  • This fee helps offset the original shipping costs.
  • The restocking fee will be deducted from your refund once the item is received and inspected.
  • Original shipping charges are non-refundable.

Package Refusals
