When Your Refund Seems Delayed
Haven’t seen your refund yet? Here’s what to do:

- Allow Processing Time: Different banks work at different speeds
- Reach Out to Us: After taking the above steps, if your refund still hasn’t appeared after the expected timeframe, contact our support team at {email address} with your order details

Returns on Gift Purchases
If You Received a Gift
When someone buys an item marked as a gift for you:
- Returns generate store credit rather than a cash refund
- We’ll mail you a gift voucher for the item’s value
- Gift vouchers remain valid for one year
- Use your voucher toward any future purchase
If You Gave a Gift
When you purchased an item for someone else:
- Refunds process back to your original payment method
- The gift recipient won’t receive notification about the return
Non-Gift Purchases
Items bought without gift designation always refund to the original buyer’s payment method, who will be informed of the return.
Shipping Guidelines for Returns
Who Pays for Return Shipping?
- Our Responsibility: We cover shipping costs when items arrive defective, damaged, or incorrect
- Your Responsibility: Return shipping fees apply for change-of-mind returns
- High-Value Protection: Consider insured shipping for returns exceeding $100
- International Considerations: Cross-border returns may incur customs charges (customer’s responsibility)
Protecting Your Return
While we process thousands of returns successfully, shipping carriers occasionally misplace packages. Since we can only refund items we receive:
- Always select tracked shipping methods
- Purchase insurance for expensive items
- Retain tracking confirmations until your refund completes
- We cannot issue refunds for items lost in transit without delivery confirmation
