Online Returns FAQ

Online Order Returns

For online returns, orders must be received back in the warehouse within 60 days of the purchase date. Items should be in new, unworn condition. The items will be inspected for their original condition once received. It takes 7-10 business days for the refund to be issued back to the original method of payment used once received at the warehouse. You will be notified via email once the return has been processed, and $6 will automatically be deducted from your refund amount for the label.
