Return & Refund Policy
Last updated: 1 May 2025
Important — Unboxing Video Required
All return or damage claims must be supported by an unboxing video. Without a valid unboxing video, we cannot process your claim. Please read Section 3 carefully before opening your parcel.

- Continuous recording with no pauses or edits
- The full unboxing through to revealing every item
- The condition of each item as it is removed
