Returns Policy
Players can return most items for a full refund within 30 days of the order date, including sale items. Exceptions apply to items personalized with a player name or game achievements.
Refunds
In order to receive a refund, a player must return the item to one of Monetizr warehouses either in the USA or Europe. A refund can be initiated by players contacting the support e-mail.
In the unlikely case of item being damaged players must email to customer support e-mail, with order number and the word EXCHANGE in the subject line, and specify details on exchange request. Otherwise, the return will be refunded to the original payment method.
A refund is issued upon receiving and inspecting the items. We'll send the player an email as soon as we've processed a return. Once the player receives the email, it can take up to 10 business days for the funds to reach the account. This time-frame is dictated by player's payment provider.
