If a claim is not filed by the customer on time, we will only be able to honor up to a 50% refund or replacement package/item if there is an issue with the order.

If you do not have Route Shipping Insurance on your order and the package is lost, the customer will need to wait for our support team to attempt to locate the package with the shipping company or attempt to receive a credit. If a credit is given to us by the shipping company, we can only then process a refund or replacement package.

By ordering you agree to accept any import or customs charges for your order. 

Refusal of Package or Undeliverable Package

If a package is refused for delivery by the customer for any reason, including but not limited to refusal to pay customs fees, this package could potentially be disposed of by the shipping company and/or may not be returned to us for several reasons.
