If after trying on the product within this time frame you are not completely satisfied, you may return the product for a refund of the full purchase price*.

*We want all of our customers to be happy, that's why over 90% of our products are covered by our industry leading money back guarantee. Due to health regulations, product design or use indications a few exclusions apply:

Processing times

Orders placed before 2:00 pm EST Monday to Friday are usually shipped same day. Orders placed after 2:00 pm EST are considered the following days orders.

All orders placed after the cut-off time on Friday will be shipped the following Monday. Orders placed on weekends or holidays will be processed the next business day. You should also note, that in many cases, we are able to deliver the product to you faster than the stated timelines depending on the product you order and your location. Tracking and status emails are automatically sent to you for each change in order status.

Apartments and PO Boxes

Shipments to apartment buildings and PO Boxes are available, however, please provide an alternative address to expedite the shipping time. If we are unsure of your address, we will contact you by phone or email.

Remote Locations

If you are in a remote location, there may be a delay in shipping times due to the courier's ability to reach those areas. Please allow additional time for orders shipped to rural area addresses as well as the Territories.

Additional fees may apply for shipments to rural area addresses as well as the Territories: you will be contacted by our team after you place your order for any additional charges that may be required before shipment.

Multiple Shipments

In some cases, to deliver your product(s) to you as quickly as possible, you may receive multiple shipments from the same or different warehouses. You will not incur additional shipping fees when your order is split into multiple shipments.

Returns

Shipping charges are non refundable for returns under our return policy.
