Important Notes When Returning Products

Please make sure that the items you are returning are in their original condition. Below are a few things to keep in mind when returning products:

  • The product must be new, clean and unworn.
  • The product must be returned in original condition and in original packaging (tags & bags).
  • Products may be tried on for sizing, but not used for a workout.
  • If returning a belt, the leather and the buckle must not have any blemishes, scratches or impressions on it.
  • If returning a lever belt, please do not attach the buckle to the leather until you ensure the size is correct. Belts with dents and scratches in the leather (either from wear or from attaching the lever buckle to the leather) will be rejected. Make sure to secure the lever buckle with bubble wrap to avoid any damage during transit.
  • Please do not mail your returns to our warehouse with your own shipping label - we will be unable to track, monitor and identify your package. All returns must be processed through the Return Portal.
  • Please do not combine multiple returns into one package - we will be unable to identify which order the items belong to or where to issue the refund. 
  • If the product does not meet the return criteria, we reserve the right to reject the return. If you processed an exchange and your returned product does not meet the return criteria, you will be charged for the return item that did not meet the return criteria.
  • If the product is returned in unacceptable condition, we will not be able to ship the item back to you and reserve the right to discard the item.

Order Cancellation Fee & Payment Processing

Once your order has been placed and your credit or debit card payment had been processed, we incur a payment processing fee. Our payment processor does not refund this fee even if the order is cancelled and refunded. If you would like to cancel your order after the order number has been assigned and the payment has been processed, we are unable to refund the payment processing fee, so you will receive a refund minus the payment processing fee.

This policy only applies to orders that are cancelled by the customer, not orders that are receiving a full or partial refund due to our mistake or damage during shipment. 

If you made a mistake with your shipping address or the items you purchased and would like to cancel your order before it ships we are happy to adjust your shipping address and/ or the products in your order. However, if you still choose to cancel your order, the payment processing fee will not be refunded.

  • Domestic Payment Processing Fee: 3.5% of your total payment
  • International Payment Processing Fee: 5% of your total payment

All services other than UPS 2nd Day Air and UPS Next Day Air are non-guaranteed-by-date services. This means that the delivery timeline shown at check-out is an estimate and may take longer to arrive at the destination. Some international packages may be delayed due to customs clearance. If your package is taking longer than usual to arrive, please email our Customer Care Team at hello@a7-us.mom and we will be happy to help.

We are unable to offer refunds for delayed non-guaranteed-by-date services until the carrier has investigated the incident and concluded that the package is deemed lost or damaged or unless you paid for shipping protection.

Guaranteed-By-Date Services

If you selected a guaranteed services such as UPS 2nd Day Air or UPS Next Day Air and your package was not delivered within the provided timeframe, please email our Customer Care Team at hello@a7-us.mom and we will be happy to work with you and the carrier to issue a refund.

Please keep in mind that UPS Next Day Air and UPS 2nd Day Air are business day services; UPS does not offer weekend deliveries, so if your package was shipped on Friday, it will be delivered the following business day, Monday. We do not currently offer shipping refunds for any other non-guaranteed services when the shipping timeline is extended.

Inclement Weather Delays

We can not guarantee shipments by a certain date during inclement or severe weather as airports and roads may be closed during this time. We will not be able to offer refunds for shipping if your package is delayed due to severe weather.

Missing Package/ Shipping Protection:

Your order marked as delivered but you can not find it? Please make sure to report any missing packages within 2 weeks of delivery confirmation. We will do our best to locate your package. Please make sure to check the shipping address and make sure the package was not received by one of your neighbors or house mates. If your package is still missing please contact us via hello@a7-us.mom.

We offer a shipping protection service which is shown on the checkout page. This service protects the contents of your A7 order if they are lost, stolen, or damaged.

If you paid for shipping protection, we will send a replacement package in the following cases:

  • Tracking shows “Delivered” but you have not received the order to the provided shipping address. Please allow up to an additional 5 business days for your order to be delivered.
  • Tracking has not updated in 7 business days for domestic packages (USA).
  • Tracking has not updated in 30 days for international packages with standard shipping service (USPS).

However, we are unable to ship a replacement or offer refunds until the carrier investigation is closed and the package is deemed lost or damaged by the carrier. We are unable to offer refunds for stolen packages if the carrier confirmed the delivery of the package after the investigation concluded.

Refunds on Returned to Sender Packages

Returns to Sender & Refused Packages for International Shipments

We do not cover customs, VAT, duty or clearance brokerage fees for any shipments outside USA unless specified in your shipping selection. Your shipping service selection will specify if the Customs Fees are included (ex. "Fees Included" or "Customs Fees NOT Included"). Some countries may not require you to pay customs fees. These fees are collected by the shipping carrier on behalf of the destination country's government and you should be notified of these fees (if any) by the carrier.

If your international package was refused or returned to us due to unpaid customs, VAT, duty or clearance brokerage fees or incorrect address, we are unable to reship the package or issue refunds for the order due to high cost of return international shipping and additional customs fees (fees exceed the order value in most cases). In these cases the carrier will destroy the goods and we will be unable to offer replacement or issue refunds.

Returns to Sender & Refused Packages for Domestic (USA) Shipments

If your domestic (USA) package was returned to sender due to the wrong address please email us at hello@a7-us.mom and we will assist you in reshipping your package. Please keep in mind that the delivery timeline will be extended and you may incur additional shipping costs for your order to be reshipped. If your package was returned to sender due to wrong address or refusal and you would like a refund, the shipping fee will be deducted from the refund.
