All returns are subject to a minimum restocking fee of 5% of the total transaction charge. Shipping, Handling and Insurance charges are not refundable on all returned and refused packages. Returns are processed in the order in which they are received. Return processing may take up to 7 business days from the time your return is received.

Returns that require a refund may take an additional 5-7 business days before a credit is applied to your charge card.
