4. Preparing for Return

6. Restocking Fee Rules

• When to Charge a Restocking Fee

• Why Charge a Restocking Fee
• Covering Costs:
• Processing Returns: Includes labor for inspecting, repackaging, and restocking returned items.
• Inventory Management: Managing returned stock can involve additional logistical costs.
• Depreciation:
• Loss in Value: Once a product is opened or used, its resale value typically decreases, necessitating a fee to cover this loss.
• Deterrence:

• Packaging Requirements
• Machines must be returned in their original packaging, including all accessories, manuals, and parts. Incomplete returns may incur additional fees.
• Shipping Costs
• Customers are responsible for all return shipping costs. We recommend using a trackable shipping service and purchasing shipping insurance, as we cannot guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
• Inspection and Refund Process
• Once the returned machine is received and inspected, we will notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If approved, the refund, minus the restocking fee, will be processed within 10 business days.
