- Refund Method: Your refund will be processed to the original payment method (credit card, PayPal, etc.).
- Refund Timeframe: Please allow 7-10 business days for the refund to appear on your account after approval.
- Partial Refunds: In certain cases, only partial refunds may be granted if items are opened, damaged, or missing parts not due to our error.
5. Exchanges
If you received a damaged or incorrect item, we will gladly offer an exchange. Please contact us within 30 days of receiving your order with the issue, and we will assist in sending you a replacement. We will cover the shipping costs for exchanges resulting from our error.
6. Damaged or Defective Items
If you receive a damaged or defective item, please contact us immediately at info@freshciteino.com or call us at (585) 682-5534. We will guide you through the process of returning the item for a full refund or exchange. To expedite the process, please provide:

- A description of the issue
7. Late or Missing Refunds
If you haven’t received your refund yet, please follow these steps:
- Check your bank account or credit card statement for any pending transactions.
- Contact your credit card company or bank; it may take some time before the refund is officially posted.
- If you’ve done all of this and still haven’t received your refund, please contact us at info@freshciteino.com.
8. Shipping Costs for Returns
- Return Shipping: Customers are responsible for the cost of return shipping unless the return is due to an error on our part (e.g., defective or wrong item).
- Non-Refundable Shipping Fees: Original shipping costs are non-refundable.
We recommend using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance for items over $75, as we cannot guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
