Exchanges
Contact us to ask about exchange options before returning your item. For all online exchanges and/or replacements, the new item will be sent to you once the returned item is received by us.
Refunds
We will notify you after we receive and inspect your return and let you know whether the refund was approved. Refunds will only be issued if the product is unused, in its original packaging, and in sellable condition. If approved, you will be refunded to your original payment method, unless otherwise stated. Your bank or payment provider may need additional time to process and post the refund.
If you return an order that was paid with store credit or a gift card, the refund will be issued as online store credit.
If you do not see your refund within a reasonable period of time since your refund was approved, contact us.
Free gifts. If you return your entire order, please include the free gift. If the free gift is not returned, its regular retail value will be deducted from your refund. If you return only part of your order, you may keep the free gift.
