We're sorry for the confusion β it's a technical limitation of our system. Sometimes a shipping notification includes more items than were actually sent. But don't worry: the rest is coming.
Please contact us for a full shipment breakdown.
We accept returns on most unused, unopened items within 14 days of delivery. Items must be in original condition and packaging. All returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) β please don't send anything back before you hear from us.
Yes β if you return an item that is not defective or damaged, an 8% restocking fee will be deducted from your refund. The item must come back in its original, undamaged condition with all original packaging.
The restocking fee does not apply to items that arrive damaged or defective, or to exchanges.
One thing to note if you have Checkout+: the prepaid return label covers your return shipping costs, but the restocking fee is still applied separately.
Contact us as soon as possible and include photos of the item and packaging. If you added Checkout+ Protection, we'll file the claim for you β unless you prefer to do it yourself.

All returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) β please don't ship anything back until you have one. You can get your RMA two ways:
- Self-serve: Use our Redo Returns Portal. If you have Checkout+, your prepaid label will be waiting there.
- We'll handle it: Contact our customer service team and we'll walk you through the whole thing.
Items sent back without an RMA will not be accepted.
With Checkout+, free return shipping is included. If you opted out at checkout, return shipping is the responsibility of the customer unless the item arrived damaged or we made a mistake.
Yes! Just reach out to our customer service team and we'll set it up for you. Exchanges require an RMA just like returns, so please contact us before sending anything back. The good news: the 8% restocking fee is waived on exchanges.
