We offer a 15-day return or exchange policy from the date you receive your item. To be eligible for return or exchange:
- Item must be unused and in its original packaging

How to Initiate a Return or Exchange
Follow these simple steps to request a return or exchange:
- Contact Us: Within 15 days of receiving your order, email our customer service team at [email protected] with your order number and details about the product you would like to return or exchange.
- Wait for Instructions: We will respond within 1-2 business days with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and instructions on where to send your package.
- Ship the Item: Securely pack the item in its original packaging, include the RMA number inside the package, and mail it to the address provided. We recommend using a trackable shipping service as you are responsible for the item until it reaches us.
- Processing: Once we receive and inspect your return, we will notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund or exchange.
Return Shipping Costs
The customer is responsible for paying the shipping costs for returning the item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you are exchanging an item, you will also be responsible for the shipping costs to send the new item to you, unless the return is due to an error on our part (e.g., wrong item shipped).
Refund Timelines and Methods
If your return is approved, your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your original method of payment within 5-10 business days. The timing of the refund appearing in your account depends on your payment provider’s policies (Visa, MasterCard, JCB, or PayPal).
For exchanges, we will ship the new item to you as soon as the returned item is processed. Standard or free shipping rates will apply based on your new order.
