You may also be eligible for a manufacturer's warranty coverage after this. Relevant photos/videos documenting the case may be required by the Vendor. Replacements for damaged items will not require returns if a photo of the damaged item is submitted to the support team, which is then forwarded to the vendor.

Return Shipping
To return your product, please contact us beforehand to discuss the issue. If approved by the Vendor, the Vendor will be in direct contact with you to make shipment arrangements.

In cases where return labels are not available, you will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.
Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary.
If you are shipping an item over $75, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that the vendor will receive your returned item, and your tracking number is the best evidence we have to process your claim.
