Your parcel must be sent via a tracked service. Please keep the tracking receipt as proof of shipment.

Step 4: Inspection & Verification

Once the returned parcel is received:

• Our inspection team checks for damage, missing items, or signs of use
• Verification usually takes 2–3 business days

If the item passes inspection, the refund/exchange is approved. If not, we will contact you with details and options.

Step 5: Refund or Exchange Processing

Refunds:

Refunds are issued to the original payment method only.
Processing time:

• 2–3 business days (Mon-Fri) for approval
