Only once the parcel arrives back to our facility and is checked in, will a refund be issued after we confirm the package is in an undamaged and resalable condition. Customers will be responsible for return delivery fees. We cannot be held responsibility for delays and transit times if your parcel is being returned. NOTE : When a parcel is sent back, as no one is essentially covering the return delivery, the destination carrier will send the item back with the slowest and cheapest delivery method to incur the least amount of cost. With that being the case, they will typically hold the parcel until they have enough items to send back at once to make it worth their money. This typically results in longer return transit times.
