How long will it take to receive my refund?
You should expect to receive your refund within 7 days of the goods being received back at our warehouse, however, in many cases you will receive a refund more quickly. This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return from the shipper, the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it, and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request.

Due to worldwide shipping & processing delays, sometimes your goods will be delayed in processing for your refund- sometimes up to 14 days. Goods being tracked as received at our warehouse still need to have 14 days allowed for processing of your return and your refund to be received. Please be patient and understand this is not within our control. Thanks for your understanding.
