4.2. Approved Refunds

If your return is approved, your refund will be processed. A credit will automatically be applied to your original method of payment (e.g., Credit Card, PayPal). Please allow [e.g., 7-14 business days] for the refund to reflect in your account, depending on your card issuer's or payment processor's policies.

  • Exchanges are subject to stock availability of the desired item.
  • If the new item is of higher value, you will be required to pay the difference. If it's of lower value, we will discuss refunding the difference or providing store credit.
  • You will be responsible for the shipping costs of sending the new exchanged item to you, unless the original exchange was due to our error or a faulty product.
