Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the item was damaged, defective, or incorrect due to our error.

Once we receive and inspect the returned item, we will process your refund within 5–7 business days. Refunds are issued to the original payment method.

Restocking Fee

A 15% restocking fee may apply to returns of opened but unused items in resalable condition. This fee covers inspection, repackaging, and restocking.

No restocking fee applies if:

  • The item was defective or damaged on arrival
  • We shipped the wrong item
  • The item is being exchanged for a different product

If your order arrives damaged or you receive the wrong item:

  • Contact us within 48 hours of delivery

We will send a replacement or issue a full refund at no cost to you, including return shipping.

Refund Processing

  • We do not issue refunds in cash or by cheque
  • Original shipping charges are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error

Exchanges

We do not process direct exchanges. If you need a different product:

  1. Return the original item following the process above
  2. Place a new order for the correct item

This ensures the fastest turnaround for getting you the right materials.
