FAQ
Q: What if the company claims the refund window has closed?
A: Cite consumer laws like Magnuson-Moss if defect existed at delivery; provide evidence to extend deadline.
Q: Can I get a refund for a sale item that's non-returnable?
A: Yes, if it's faulty or not as described—non-returnable policies don't override quality guarantees.
