Return Policy

Customer satisfaction is our prime motive. If you are not completely satisfied with an eligible item that you purchased from our online store, you may return it following the outlined policy below to be considered for refund back to the initial form of payment or exchange for another item. All phone, internet or in-store purchases acknowledge acceptance and are bound by the terms of our return policy stated below.

How to Return or Exchange a Purchase

Before sending your product(s) back, you MUST Request an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization Number) through our online RMA Request Form. Once you have submitted the RMA request form, you will receive an email with an RMA for any qualified returns/exchanges. Once you have received the RMA# and address, you should return your purchase clearly labeled with the appropriate RMA#. The returned merchandise must be received within 30 days of purchase of original item with the proper RMA#. Items received after 30 days or without appropriate RMA# will be returned at customer's expense.

Receiving an RMA number is simply an authorization to send items back to us to be inspected for return or replacement. Items must be returned in like-new condition in the original packaging, otherwise they will not be considered for return and will be held or returned at the customer's expense.
