RETURNS:

Our policy lasts 30 days. If 30 days have gone by since your purchase, we can’t offer you a refund. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging. We only replace items if they are defective or damaged after we have received the item and verified its condition.

If you need to return an item, you must write an email to: returns@hotchocolatedesign.com

We will send you 2 labels:
1. An Amazon authorization label
2. A free UPS prepaid return label

After that, you'll have to take your package to your local Post Office. Once we have received the item and verify its condition, we will refund your order.

NOTE: you will have an additional 30 days from the moment you start the process to return the item(s). In case the item(s) are not returned the return process will be canceled on the 30th day.
