Partial Return
If you wish to return only a part of your order, a partial quantity, you can adjust the quantity by adjusting the number of items to return on the Select Product page when you initiate the Return/Refund request. 

 

You may adjust the number of items to return for the scenarios below.

 

  • You can select (a) the entire bundle OR (b) part of the bundle items.
  • You can select (a) the entire set of add-on deals OR (b) part of the add-on deal(s).
  • You can select (a) the entire Purchase with Gift, including both the main item and the gift, OR return part of the main items only, provided that the corresponding gift is included in the return. 


Please note that for the following Return Reson, partial returns are not allowed as the entire order must be returned: 

  • Return in original/sealed condition 

 

 

There may be two solutions available, depending on your Return/Refund reason:
