Return Policy.
We understand that returns may occasionally be necessary. Our priority is to minimize your losses while also making you aware that contract manufacturing involves substantial costs. Raw materials, packaging, shipping, and labor constitute approximately 90% of your total payment.
Cancellation Policy:
1. Pre-Deposit Cancellations:
No charge will be applied if the order is canceled before a deposit is made.
2. Post-Deposit Cancellations:
2-1. No Materials Purchased:
If no materials have been purchased, you will receive a full refund, and no cancellation fee will be charged.
2-2. Materials Purchased but Not Yet Used:
* If we have already purchased materials but have not started packaging, you will receive a refund minus the cost of the materials and shipping.
* The purchased materials will be shipped to you at your expense. No service fees or cancellation charges will apply.
* This approach is in line with the contract manufacturing model, which precludes the use of your materials by another company.
3. Packaging Begun:
If we have already begun the packaging process, no cancellations or refunds will be possible.
Refunds Due to Quality Issues:
1. Full Order Quality Issues:
* If there is a quality issue affecting the entire order, we will conduct investigations and testing.
* If the issue is confirmed to be our responsibility, we will either provide a full refund or redo the entire order.
2. Individual Product Quality Issues:
For quality issues affecting individual products (e.g., missing lot numbers), we will either replace the item at our expense or provide a refund for that specific item.
Other Situations:
1. Shipping Damage:
If products are damaged due to improper handling by the shipping company, no refunds will be given, as this is out of our control.
2. Color or Label Alterations:
* If a product's color changes (e.g., capsule color) or the label fades, we will compare it to our reserved product.
* If our reserved product does not exhibit these issues, no refund will be provided.
* Note that product color can change if the product is exposed to direct sunlight, strong lighting, or heat.
We appreciate your business and are committed to providing you with the highest quality in contract manufacturing services. Understanding our return policy helps us maintain a transparent and trusted relationship with you. If you have any questions or require further clarification regarding our return policy, please do not hesitate to contact us at 469-430-7213.
