2. Only full quantities* as shown on packing slip will be accepted for refund. Under no circumstances will leftover “bits and pieces” be refunded. *(full quantities means, 25 of an item ordered is returnable only as 25, not a partial amount. Sets are returnable only as sets, individual parts from sets are not returnable.)
3. Refunds will be made using the original payment method. Payments originating through PayPal will be returned to PayPal so they can refund the original funding source. In some cases PayPal will put the funds into your PayPal account instead of returning to original source.
4. Refunds will be minus original shipping costs. (Even though there were no shipping charges added to your order, the expense incurred to ship your item is not refundable) Refunds will also be minus PayPal fees, as they keep those fees.
