01NEW PROCESS

Initial step: Troubleshoot or attempt to save an order so they don’t have to return whenever possible.

02Here’s what’s new
  • No RMA required – Customers can now send returns without generating an RMA number.
  • Return window – Packages must be shipped out (postmarked) within 14 calendar days after we respond to their return request.
  • Instant refunds – We now refund customers on the spot. Please make sure to carefully read the macro, as cleaning and non-cleaning brands have different calculation breakdowns.
  • Fee update – We’re no longer calling it a “restocking fee.” It’s now a reprocessing fee, and it has been reduced to $4.95 (previously $8.95)

09The Policy

All brands

  • No full refunds for orders over 30 days
  • 50% one-time courtesy refund = only if the customer has a really valid reason for missing the deadline

Examples: customer was hospitalized, return is being handled by family for a deceased customer

Even if they threaten chargebacks, we still stand firm on the policy

What matters most is when the customer FIRST contacted us about the return

10Special Timing Exceptions (Important!)

We can honor a full refund if:

  • The customer reached out before the 30-day window ended
  • But due to back-and-forth or refund pushback flow, they ended up a couple of days late.

In these cases, use judgment and honor the full refund.

11Customer Communication

Call/Chat Spiels

12Short explanation (first response)

“Thanks for reaching out. I’ve checked your order and it’s past our 30-day return window. Since the return period has ended, the order is no longer eligible for a return or full refund, as outlined in our return policy on our website.”

13Alternative for Orders Beyond 30 Days
  • Only consider the 50% one-time courtesy refund if the customer has a valid reason for missing the deadline and asks for it.
