If 30 days have passed since your purchase, we can\u2019t offer you a full refund or exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it, along with any gifts\/zero-sale value items you may have received. It must also be in the original packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional non-refundable items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gift cards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Downloadable software products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gift items (items that had zero sale value)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Any item that is not in its original condition, is damaged or is missing parts for reasons not due to our error.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any item that is returned more than 30 days after purchase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Refund approval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will not approve exchanges based on color choice, because we do not guarantee the color choice will be fulfilled, even if you expressly sent us a message to do so. We will strive to match the colors, but if stock will not allow, we will proceed with what we have in stock. If you want to exchange based on color mismatch, you need to cover two-way shipping costs and restocking fees at the warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We will not refund the shipping cost, as it is an operational expense you have agreed to pay for the merchandise to reach your Shipping address.<\/strong> By ordering from our website, you agree that the shipping fee is non-refundable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restocking fee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your shipping address is in the US, we will charge a $5 restocking fee if the item is in working condition and the return was initiated by you due to incompatibilities with 3rd party devices such as wireless chargers or non-standard cables. This is the fee we actually pay to the warehouse to have our items restocked, we make no profit off it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Late or missing refunds<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next contact your bank.
