After a return is authorized by our return department:
1. Return the item to the address given to you by our return department.
2. Keep your shipping records for proof of shipment in the event of loss of returned merchandise. Returns shipped via U.S. Postal Service (U.S.P.S.) or with a value of over $100.00 should be insured. We are not liable for return merchandise that does not reach our return department.
3. We will notify you via phone, mail, or e-mail of your refund once we have received and processed the returned item. You can expect a refund in the same form of payment originally used for purchase within 1 to 5 business days of our receiving your return.
We want you to be satisfied with any product you order. We do not make profit off of returns. If we mess up, we'll pay for it. If you buy something, open it up, use it for two weeks, and return it, then we only ask that you pay for the shipping and processing costs that we paid to send you the item. This policy is designed to make sure you are not stuck with something you don't want, but also discourages customers who like to "borrow" gear to use for projects, and then return it.
We do allow free trials of some items, but if your intent is only to borrow or try a product, and not buy it, please let us know ahead of time so we can work something out specific to your needs.
