OUR APPROACH TO REFUNDS
Chipaki is committed to making returns simple for our customers. For most
issues, we do not require you to send your item back to us. Instead, we offer a partial
or full refund and let you keep the product. This approach means you get resolution faster,
you avoid packaging and shipping hassle, and we avoid the cost
and environment impact of shipping small items back and forth across the country.
