All sales are considered final after a 15-day period from time of sale (30 Days within the state of California). If your package has arrived damaged, missing items, or otherwise tampered with, please contact the carrier (UPS, FedEx, etc.) and our Customer Service department immediately. Any delay in contacting us makes it difficult to file a claim. Please keep all packaging and items exactly as they arrived.

All returns must include the original factory box, original factory packaging (foam, plastic, wrappings, etc.), blank, unfilled warranty cards, all instruction booklets, and paperwork. Do not deface original factory cartons or packaging in any manner. We will not accept a return if the packaging is not in its original condition. All returned merchandise must be in its original mint and clean condition. Returns on damaged or scratched merchandise will not be accepted.
