Shipping and Returns

Returns Policy

If you are unsatisfied with your purchase or received a defective item you may return it for a refund.  To be eligible for a full refund (shipping is non refundable) the item must be unopened in its original packaging and must be returned within 30 days of the purchase date.  For items shipped on a date other than the purchase date, 30 days from the ship date will be used instead.  We will pay the return shipping costs if the return is a result of our error (you received an incorrect or defective item, etc.).  Open box items are subject to a restocking fee of up to 25%.  Special order products (e.g.: time stamps, dye plates), custom orders, software, and software modules are not eligible for refunds but may qualify for an exchange.

You should expect to receive your refund within 10-14 business days after you have submitted your return information online or by phone.  This time period includes the transit time for us to receive your return and inspect the contents of the order being returned (2-6 business days), the time it takes us to process your return once we receive it (3 to 5 business days), and the time it takes your bank to process our refund request (5 to 10 business days).

If you need to return an item, simply login to your account, view the order using the "Complete Orders" link under the My Account menu and click the Return Item(s) button. We'll notify you via e-mail of your refund once we've received and processed the returned item.
