After an eligible return is received and approved, refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5–10 business days. Your bank or card issuer may require additional time to post the credit to your account.
11. Damaged, defective or incorrect products
If a product arrives damaged, defective or is not what you ordered, contact us with your order number and photographs of the product and packaging. We will replace the item or refund it, including any shipping you paid on that item, and we cover the cost of sending it back.
