STORE POLICIES
PLEASE READ AND CONSIDER THESE POLICIES BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER!
Damaged, Defective, Missing, or Wrong Items.
To protect both buyers and sellers, we strongly recommend that you take a full unboxing video from start to finish. This video is required if you receive a package with any issues. We guarantee the way we pack our packages and the quality of the items we sell. We will issue a full refund or exchange for damaged, defective, missing, or wrong items, as long as the buyer provides the required proof of the issue.
This practice helps us ensure the best quality control possible and is intended ONLY for reporting errors and issues to the manufacturer and the source company.
How to Film or Take Unboxing Videos
- Start by filming the original, unopened box from all six dimensions.
- Remove each item one by one from the packaging box.
- Film each unopened item individually to show it has not been touched or opened previously.
- Take a clear video showing all sides of each item before starting to open it.
- Film the entire process of opening each item from beginning to end.
- Please follow these steps for each item in your order.
NOTE: We cannot be held responsible for issues if the video does not clearly show every part or if the video quality is unclear. We are not responsible for any manufacturer's damages or missing parts unless they are known issues acknowledged by the manufacturer.
