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 submit your request into the return platform by clicking on the above "Returns & Exchange" box. Then, you will receive a return authorization email with a free prepaid return label and instructions on how to return your item(s). 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.
