4. Store Refunds and Exchanges
Our store refunds and exchanges policy is designed to be customer-friendly. Here’s what you need to know about return and refund processes:
- Refunds: Once your return is processed, we will issue a refund to your original payment method. Refunds may take 7–10 business days to appear, depending on your bank or payment provider. When should you expect your refund back? Typically within 7–10 business days after we receive and process your return. You can always check your refund status by contacting our customer service team.
- Exchanges: If you prefer an exchange, indicate this in your return request. Replacement shipping is subject to availability. We’ll work with you to find a suitable replacement product. Our store refunds and exchanges are processed with the same care and attention to detail.
- Refund Processing: All refunds are processed automatically once we verify the returned item meets our conditions. You’ll receive an email confirmation when your refund is processed. This helps you track the status of your return and refund.

Understanding the pros and cons of returns versus exchanges can help you make the best decision for your situation. Exchanges are ideal if you want a different size, color, or variant of the same product, while refunds are better if you’re not satisfied with the product entirely. Our team is here to help you handle returns and refunds in the way that works best for you.
We continuously improve our store refunds and exchanges processes based on customer feedback, ensuring that handling returns and refunds becomes even more streamlined over time. Your satisfaction is our priority.

6. Items Not Eligible for Return
Certain products are non-returnable due to health and safety reasons, as well as legal requirements. Understanding which items cannot be returned helps set proper expectations for returns and refunds:
- Opened Products: Opened products or media (e.g., vapes, opened packages) cannot be returned for health and hygiene reasons. This is standard practice across the industry.

- Personalized Items: Custom or personalized products cannot be returned unless they are defective.
- Digital Products: Digital downloads or software cannot be returned once accessed.

When should I expect my refund back?
You should expect your refund back within 7–10 business days after we receive and process your returned item.
