- Common Items: Returns for commonly stocked items may be accepted on a case-by-case basis, subject to approval.
- OEM Equivalent Filters: While we strive to guarantee fit and compatibility, it is the end user’s responsibility to confirm. Returns for items that do not fit will be subject to approval and a restocking fee.

- Return Shipping: Customers are responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is due to an error on our part.
3. Restocking Fees
- General Policy: For approved returns, a restocking fee of at least 25% will apply unless the return is due to an error on our part. The exact fee depends on the specific product and its condition upon return.
