Shipping Products back: Customers are responsible for all shipping costs when returning a product, unless the product is defective, or you (the customer) received the incorrect product. Return shipment costs are non-refundable. Regarding shipping product back:

  • The refund process initiates once the returned product is shipped with a tracking number and received at the warehouse.
  • If the product is returned without providing us a tracking number, the refund process will be delayed until confirmation can be made by the warehouse that the product is received and undamaged.
  • No refund will be issued if there is no record of the product being received at the warehouse and a tracking number was not provided to us.
  • If the product is lost in transit due to uncontrollable forces, and a tracking number has been provided to us, a refund will be issued.
  • Refunds will not be issued for products that are returned in a used or damaged condition.
  • The product must be received back to the warehouse within 14 days of issuing an RMA.

Restocking Fee: If a restocking fee is applicable, then 25% of the original product price or total cost of order will be deducted from your refund to cover administrative and handling costs. 

Defective Product for Return: If the product you received is defective, it qualifies for a return when a picture is provided of both the box and the defective part of the product.

Incorrect Product: If you received a product different from the one you ordered, it qualifies for a return. Hzlab will cover the shipping costs for returning the incorrect item.

Receipt and Inspection: Once the returned product is received and inspected at the warehouse, we will start the refund process. Please allow a reasonable time for the inspection and initiation of the refund.

Refund Process: For details on the timing and method of your refund, please refer to our Refund Terms and Conditions.

Refund on Sales Tax: Refunds for sales tax cannot be issued if an exempt certificate is not provided at the time of the order.

Method of Refund: Refunds can be issued through only two methods: original payment method or store credit. In certain cases, specified in our Policies, or when we are unable to process the refund back to the original payment method, a store credit will be issued. If any fees apply, the refund or store credit amount will be reduced by those fees. 

Cancellation Fee:

  • Refunds requested due to our error or issue (e.g., shipping delay beyond 21 days, or discontinued items without an alternate product) are not subject to the standard 7% cancellation fee.
  • Refunds requested due to customer error, desire, or change of mind (e.g., no longer needed, accidental order, or incorrect item ordered) are subject to a cancellation fee, unless an exchange for a different product is requested by the customer. Under those circumstances the order is subject to the Cancellation Terms and Conditions.

Refund Processing Time: Refunds for amounts less than $2000 are processed in 1-30 business days. Refunds exceeding $2000 can take up to 90 business days to be fully processed and may be disbursed in multiple payments. Federal holidays are not counted as a business day.
