2. Official 60-Day Free Return Eligibility Standard

All commodities purchased from aeropressmall.com enjoy official 60-calendar-day free return qualification starting counting from the exact date customers physically receive ordered parcels signed for at delivery address, the entire 60-day return window is the core eligible time limit to initiate valid return application without any return shipping cost deduction or restocking penalty fee imposed on applicants, return freight for all eligible returned products is fully covered by our platform operating expense as part of our aftersales benefit commitment, customers bear zero outbound cost for sending items back to our designated return warehouse address. To qualify for successful free return approval, returned AeroPress coffee maker products and matched original accessory parts must satisfy uniform intact condition requirement: complete original manufacturer factory outer packaging box stays undamaged, original product instruction manuals, filter accessories and all bundled complimentary small parts attached on original factory package are fully retained without missing or self-disassembly damage, product main body keeps unused brand-new state without artificial scratch, bump damage, liquid soaking or secondary use traces caused by customer’s personal operation error; customized personalized modified products or products damaged artificially by improper user operation are excluded from free return eligible scope and cannot apply for free return service under this policy clause. Customers need to launch formal return request via support@aeropressmall.com official mailbox within regulated 60-day valid period and fill in required information including original order number, purchased product model, return application reason and recipient original payment account details for our aftersales specialist’s preliminary audit work.

3. Return Goods Receipt Inspection Regulation

After our customer service team approves customer’s submitted valid return application and issues exclusive official return authorization number plus designated return receiving warehouse address via reply email to applicant, customers arrange proper protective repackaging of qualified returned goods and deliver parcels back to specified warehouse address with pre-assigned return authorization number clearly marked on outer shipping box surface, we provide complimentary return shipping arrangement guidance to all approved return applicants without charging any parcel sending cost. Once returned packages arrive at our centralized return warehouse, our dedicated incoming return inspection team conducts detailed item condition verification work within 1-3 working days after parcel physical receipt, cross-checking returned product model consistency with original order record, outer packaging completeness, accessory matching integrity and main product intact status according to return application submitted information. If inspection result fully complies with free return condition specified in preceding clause, our warehouse department issues formal return acceptance confirmation document and synchronously transfers valid refund application to platform financial department for subsequent fund returning operation; in case returned goods fail inspection due to missing original accessories, damaged package or artificial product destruction, we send detailed inspection result notification to applicant via support@aeropressmall.com email and reserve right to reject corresponding full refund request, customers can choose to have unqualified returned items shipped back at their own independent freight expense or abandon parcel processing entirely as personal selection.

4. Fixed 5-10 Working Days Refund Processing Rule Post Warehouse Acceptance

Upon receiving formal passed inspection acceptance document from warehouse division, our platform finance department activates official refund procedure immediately and completes full original payment fund transfer back to customer’s initial payment binding account within fixed unified cycle of 5 to 10 consecutive working days counted starting on the exact day of return acceptance confirmation, all refunded principal amount is calculated based on original checkout USD settlement amount without deducting any platform service fee, transaction handling cost or prior borne free shipping expense from total refund sum as our core aftersales commitment on aeropressmall.com. The actual fund arrival time in customer’s personal payment account may generate minor reasonable delay floating within 5-10 working days fixed range resulting from third-party payment institution’s internal capital settlement schedule rules, such uncontrollable payment channel delay does not belong to our platform’s refund processing default liability, customers can track refund application real-time progress through personal member account backend order management page or send inquiry email to support@aeropressmall.com for manual check anytime during refund waiting period. For partial item return of one multi-item order instead of full order cancellation, finance team calculates corresponding single item original purchase amount in USD according to order split detail and implements partial fund refund following identical 5-10 working days processing timeline uniformly.
