Who pays return shipping

In the case of a defective, damaged, or non-compliant product, we cover the shipping costs: we provide a prepaid shipping label or arrange for a carrier. If you simply wish to cancel your purchase, return shipping remains at your expense, with no additional fees deducted.

Refund timing and method

We initiate payment within 3 business days once the equipment inspection is approved. If you paid cash on delivery, the amount is transferred to the account of your choice; for an initial payment by bank transfer, the funds return to the issuing bank account. Processing between banks usually takes 1 to 5 business days.
