Cancellations & Refunds:

If you need to cancel your order you are welcome to do so within 48 hours of when the order was placed. Since many of our products are made to order, we are unable to cancel orders after 48 hours. In some cases we can make exceptions and cancel your order after 48 hours, but it is subject to a 10% cancellation fee. If your order has shipped, you (the buyer) will also be responsible for in and outbound shipping charges. Refunds will only be issued to the original credit card that you use when placing your order.

Please Read!

It is the customer’s responsibility to return the product to the correct warehouse in new condition and in the original packaging. For this reason, we strongly suggest that you obtain a tracking number for the returning item(s) and purchase shipping insurance.

In the event that the product is received in a condition which we deem unacceptable, we reserve the right to deny your return. Upon receipt of said item we will either refuse it or contact you by email to notify you that the item was received damaged or used.

If we received the item damaged you may file a claim with your shipping company.

If we received the item used you may choose to have the item disposed of or have the item returned to you at your expense.

Damaged or used items will be retained in our warehouse for a maximum of 30 business days unless otherwise requested by the customer in writing prior to disposal. After 30 business days the item will be disposed of or donated. 

Please allow 7-14 business days after delivery of the returned item for our Customer Service Department to inspect the return and process your refund. If you attempt to return an item without a return authorization (including refusing delivery), past 30 days or in unacceptable condition, the item will be refused or shipped back to you at your cost; if we choose to accept the return, additional fees will apply.
