If goods arrive damaged, we are to be notified immediately. We must be notified before you return any goods. We will pay the return shipping costs if the return results from our error (you received an incorrect item, etc.) and will then offer a repair, replacement or refund where appropriate.

A refund or exchange will be issued once the item has been tested.
