To request a seized mail refund, you must provide official documentation (such as a seizure notice from customs or a government agency) as proof. Claims must be submitted within 30 days of the estimated delivery date.
Refund Processing
Approved refunds will be processed using the original payment method within 10 business days of approval. Shipping costs are non-refundable unless the error was on our part.
