Certain products are final sale and cannot be returned, including gift cards and select collectible items. Partial refunds may be issued if an item is returned damaged, incomplete, or outside the approved timeframe (unless the issue was due to our error).
Once a return is received and inspected, you’ll be notified by email regarding approval. If approved, refunds are issued to the original payment method within approximately 15 days.
