- Accessories & Apparel for Personal Use: Items from the “Accessories” and “Apparels” menu categories (e.g., Beanies, certain wearable items) for hygiene reasons.
- Care and Repair Products: All items from the “Care and Repair” menu category (e.g., chemicals, sealants, repair kits) once opened.

6. International Returns
As we ship globally, customers outside the United States are responsible for any return shipping costs, customs duties, or taxes incurred when sending the item back to our warehouse in Redding, CA, USA. We cannot mark return packages as “gifts” or with a reduced value. We recommend declaring the item as a “Return for Refund” with its original value.
