  Due to inventory changes, any issues must be reported within 7 days of receiving your box. Replacement items will be shipped out in the next shipment once confirmed by the support agent. If we do not have the missing item in stock, credit will be applied to your account instead.
• I made a mistake with my address information and never received my box.
  This, unfortunately, can happen when an address is incomplete or has been erroneously input on the buyer’s side. If the box has been sent back to us due to a mailing mistake on the customer’s end, we will ask you to pay for the reshipping cost.
  We also cannot reship a box if we do not receive it back. However, if the mistake has occurred on our end we will accommodate to ensure you receive a new or re-shipped box without any further costs.
