Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. This list may be amended from time to time.

Non-returnable items:
* Gift cards

To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase. Please do not send your purchase back anywhere other than Astrohaus' designated return address.

There are certain situations where only partial refunds are granted (if applicable): Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to Astrohaus' error.

Due to their limited nature, Special Edition and Limited Batches are subject to a 15% restocking fee.


Refunds(if applicable)

Once your return is received and inspected, we will notify you by email that we have received your returned item. We will then notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund within 48 hours.

If your return is approved, your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment.

Please note that it may take up to 7 business days for your refund to process.

Refunds of Duties and Taxes for any orders shipped outside the United States are the sole responsibility of the Customer. We are unable to provide refunds for foreign duties, taxes, or fees.


Late or missing refunds(if applicable)

If you haven’t received a refund yet, please:
* Check your bank account again.
* Contact your credit card company; it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.
* Contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.

If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund, please contact us at hello@getfreewrite.com.


Exchanges(if applicable)

We only replace items if they are defective or damaged according to each item's Warranty policy. The Warranty does not apply to (a) damage resulting from abuse, misuse, accident, or negligence, (b) normal wear and tear, (c) defects caused by alterations, modifications, unauthorized repair or servicing, (d) damage caused by handling, operating, storing, and using the product outside the permitted or intended uses described in the usage instructions, including but not limited to use in wet conditions, and (e) defects not reproducible by Astrohaus. If a product is returned to Astrohaus and the Warranty had been voided due to alterations, modifications, or misuse, the customer is responsible for any damages, repairs, and shipping expenses.

Gifts

If the item was marked as a gift when purchased and shipped directly to you, you will receive a gift credit for the value of your return. Once the returned item is received, a gift certificate will be mailed to you.

If the item wasn’t marked as a gift when purchased, or the gift giver had the order shipped to themselves to give to you later, we will send a refund to the gift giver and they will find out about your return.


Shipping

You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you may vary.

If you are shipping an item over $75, you must use a shipping service that provides tracking and purchasing shipping insurance. We are not responsible for goods not received or damaged in transit.

If an order has shipped, and delivery is refused or customs charges are not paid and the order is returned, there will be a $90 deduction from the refund in order to cover the shipping costs and fees necessary for the order to be returned.
