Requesting a Return
Step 1
You first need to look up your order number and file a return request. After filing your request, we will provide you with instructions via email. In many cases, instructions will be sent within 24 hours, but some brands may take up to 5 business days to issue the RGA (return authorization) number, and then we will email you the return instructions.
Once you receive an RGA number, you will then be able to choose whether you want the pre-generated label or use your own carrier to ship it back.
Step 2
After reviewing the instructions provided to you, prepare your products for shipment by making sure the merchandise is in its original packaging. Products that have been installed or altered are not eligible for return. Please read the conditions list below for further details.
Step 3
Once your product is ready for shipment, you can take it to a local carrier facility and drop it off if using one of our return labels (usually FedEx). If shipping the item back yourself, we require a trackable method (UPS or FedEx). Please ensure that the "RGA" number provided with the instructions is on the return label (please do not write on the actual box). Please provide us with the tracking number of the shipment using our Customer Helpdesk
Step 4
Once the merchandise is received back at the warehouse, it will be inspected. Upon inspection approval, you will be refunded and notified via email. We estimate credit will be issued within 5-10 business days from the day the item is received back.
