Packaging your return
Your return must be properly boxed and sealed to protect the physical product and the integrity of the manufacturer’s package against any damage or marking in transit. New items shipped back solely in the manufacturer’s packing will be ineligible for return.

Question
Returning fluids?
Fluids must be securely contained and sealed inside their original containers and then enclosed in two independently sealed plastic bags and placed in a sturdy corrugated box for shipment. Please note that all fluids are tested and inspected prior to return processing so it is important to ensure all associated items are accurately associated with what is on the included returns form. In the event inspection identifies incorrect or misrepresented items such as water or other fluids, the return will be denied and discarded. Fluids that leak due to improper bagging, padding, or packaging will also be denied.
Question
Paid Sales Tax?
If your state requires online retailers to charge sales tax, then you've most likely paid sales tax on your order. If you return that product, then you’re refunded the sales tax paid for the product in addition to the refund of the product.
