We are not responsible for loss or theft before the merchandise is in our possession. You may wish to insure valuable items, to cover replacement costs in case the package is lost in transit.

If a ppoduct is being returned as new, but has clearly been used or damaged prior to its return, we reserve the right to refuse refund completely.
