Non-Refundable Shipping Insurance Cost: The cost of shipping insurance is non-refundable. Even if your order is returned, canceled, or if there is no damage or loss, the shipping insurance fee will not be refunded.
-
Claims Process: In the event of loss or damage, please contact our customer service team immediately with details of the issue, and we will assist you with the claim process. You will be required to provide documentation (such as photographs or a damage report) to support your claim.
-
No Insurance Refund: Once purchased, shipping insurance cannot be refunded or transferred. If you choose not to purchase insurance at checkout, you assume all risks related to shipping delays, damages, or loss.
