Once we have confirmed that the item is indeed damaged or defective, we’ll happily arrange the shipment of a replacement at no additional cost to you. 

* This policy only applies strictly to the actually product purchased and received damaged. Damaged packaging, including boxes, is not covered by this policy as boxes are considered packaging and we aren't responsible for package damage caused by couriers during transit. 

** Items that are damaged by the customer, such as by not following care instructions, won't be accepted for returns.

*** Defective/damaged/flawed item/s bought from the Clearance collection aren't eligible for returns or exchanges. These products are sold "as is" , with details of their defective clearly stated in the product listing.

Shipping Delays

Current world issues have had a serious impact on international air shipments and deliveries; therefore, we can’t guarantee shipping timeframes for your order. Please understand that shipping delays are beyond of our control, and we’re unable to speed up delayed deliveries and kindly ask for your patience. 

No refunds will be provided for items that haven’t been received due to delayed shipments, or packages in transit. If, however, investigations reveal that your items were lost in transit, you will be provided with a complimentary replacement.

Fraudulent Chargebacks / Cyber Shoplifting

We sincerely love to make our customers happy, and always do everything we can to ensure they are satisfied with their Projects817 purchases. That said, we are aware of a troubling new trend of fraudulent chargebacks towards innocent businesses from customers who are either dishonest people trying to get items for free, or impatient customers who are blaming sellers for delayed shipping times that are beyond the sellers' control. 

Fraudulent chargebacks are extremely harmful to small businesses and negatively affect the hardworking families behind those businesses. It is on the same level as shoplifting, only more often than not the seller's insurance will not cover these losses so the impact on the business can be devastating.

Although we wish we didn't have to address this problem, due to the rise in inappropriate chargebacks affecting small businesses we need to be clear, delayed shipping is not a valid reason to file a chargeback, and any chargebacks made for this, or any other inappropriate motive will be considered fraudulent and fought with evidence and you will no longer have the possibility to make future purchases with our store. If necessary and appropriate, a police report will be filed against any customer involved in making fraudulent claims.

If you have a genuine issue, please reach out to us before considering filing a chargeback as we have always, and will always, go out of our way to ensure that our customers are satisfied.

We apologize, however, we can’t accept returns on gift cards, used items, clearance items or exchanged items.
