2. TDSC will email you a return authorization, including an RMA number which is required to process your return.
3. Use the links in your RMA email to request a convenient pickup from FedEx or UPS.

What is your return policy?

Request for return authorization can be made within 30 days of the delivery date for a full credit or refund, providing the product meets the return criteria seen below. Returns must be in the original, unmarked, unopened/sealed package with a copy of the original invoice, for a full credit or refund. Any defective product can be returned for a full credit or refund. See TDSC’s terms and conditions for additional information and warranties.

I changed my mind about this product:

• Full credit or refund if product is original, unmarked, unopened/sealed and accompanied by a copy of the original invoice.
• The shopper is responsible for the return shipping cost.
• You will be refunded once the product has been returned and approved by the supplier.
• Some products cannot be returned such as special orders, drop-shipped items or clearance items. See product Delivery and Terms tab for return restrictions.

I received a defective or incorrect item:

• All mis-shipped or defective items are eligible for a full refund.
• TDSC will cover the return shipping cost.
• You will be refunded once the product has been returned and approved by the supplier.

Clearance product disclaimer:

All clearance items are sold as-is and may have shorter shelf lives. All clearance sales are final. Once purchased, no refunds, exchanges or credits are provided. Clearance items are available on a first-come, first-served basis; stock is not guaranteed. Items marked as clearance are not eligible for any additional discounts, coupons or offers.

How long does the return process take?
Items must be returned within 5 business days of receiving your return merchandise authorization (RMA). Once your return has arrived at the supplier, allow 3-5 business days for processing. You will receive email notification of return completion and refund confirmation.

How do I cancel my order?
As orders are processed very quickly, cancellations can only be made within ten minutes of placing your order. To cancel an order within ten minutes of placing it, visit your Order History, click on the order you wish to cancel and click on the Cancel button at the bottom of the order.
