When Plans Change
Different order situations require different information. Review the guidance that best matches your request.
Damaged or Defective Items
Inspect your order after delivery. Provide clear photographs of the product, packaging, shipping label, damage, and any affected components so we can review the issue and arrange the appropriate resolution.
Incorrect or Missing Items
Include your order number and photographs of everything received. We will compare the shipment with the original order and determine whether a replacement, exchange, or refund is appropriate.
