Shipping & Returns

Returns Policy

To return an item, you need to obtain an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number. To request an RMA number please email or call our customer service department (Contact Information at the bottom of this page). Issuance of an RMA number does not guarantee final disposition and all returns are subject to inspection. RMA numbers are valid for ten days.

Place the original package into a shipping carton.
Include the invoice and the reason for the return. If defective, please specify the defect.
Please do not place stickers or shipping labels on the original manufacturer’s package.

The RMA number must be written clearly on the shipping carton to prevent refusal.
Once items is received and verified will then be available for a refund per our outlined policies.

Your complete order is important to us and we know you have taken time to pick out your items. In the unfortunate event an item is out of stock on your order due to an inventory error, we will contact you via email and/or phone to try to substitute or replace the out of stock item. If we do not hear from you within a 10-business day period, we will remove the out of stock item from your order and ship the remaining items. If your order qualified for free shipping, we would honor the free shipping if the out of stock item drops your order total below the free shipping threshold.
