Return and Refund Policy

We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you’re not, we’re here to help.

Return Eligibility

To be eligible for a return, items must be returned within 14 days of receiving your order. Your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.     

The following items are not eligible for return:    

• [List specific non-returnable items, e.g., perishable goods, personalized items, etc.]

Initiating a Return

To initiate a return, please follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have your receipt or proof of purchase.
2. Contact our customer service team at [email address or phone number] to request a return authorization.
3. Pack the item securely in its original packaging.
4. Ship the item to the address provided by our customer service team.
5. Please note that return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer and are non-refundable.

Refunds

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.  

If you are approved, your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your original method of payment. Refunds are typically processed within 5-10 business days.   

Late or Missing Refunds

If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again. Then, contact your credit card company, as it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund, please contact us at [email address or phone number].   

Exchanges

We only replace items if they are defective or damaged. If you need to exchange it for the same item, contact us at [email address or phone number] and send your item to [address].   

Shipping

You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.  

Thank you for your understanding.
