Refund and Return Policy

I. Our Philosophy: Confidence in Every Purchase

At NEUNAIL LLC, we take immense pride in the quality, performance, and reliability of every product we curate and sell. Our commitment to excellence is the cornerstone of our brand. However, we also recognize that even within a framework of high standards, there may be rare instances where a product does not meet your specific needs or expectations. We believe that a truly customer-centric company stands behind its offerings not just with words, but with clear, fair, and accessible policies. This comprehensive Refund and Return Policy is designed to provide you with complete transparency and a straightforward path to resolution, should you ever need it. Our goal is to ensure that shopping with NEUNAIL is a risk-free experience, empowering you to make purchases with absolute confidence, knowing that your satisfaction is our ultimate priority and is fully backed by our guarantee.

II. General Policy Overview & Eligibility

We offer a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee from the date of delivery for most items purchased directly from neunail.shop. This policy is applicable to customers within the United States and most international destinations we ship to.

Key Pillars of Our Policy:

  • Fairness: We provide clear conditions for returns, refunds, and exchanges.

  • Simplicity: We have streamlined the process to minimize hassle for you.

  • Speed: We process authorized returns and issue refunds promptly upon receipt and inspection.

What is Covered:

  • Products that are defective, damaged upon arrival, or materially different from what was ordered.

  • Products that, while not defective, simply do not meet your expectations (in unused, resalable condition).

  • Incorrect items shipped due to an error on our part.

Important Eligibility Criteria:

  1. Timeframe: You must initiate a return request within 30 calendar days of the recorded delivery date.

  2. Condition: The item must be in its original, unused, and resalable condition. This means:

    • All original packaging, manuals, accessories, and components must be included and undamaged.

    • For tools: No signs of use, wear, or sterilization. Protective coatings or tips must be intact.

    • For gels, liquids, or consumables: The seal must be unbroken, and the product must be full and uncontaminated.

  3. Authorization: A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number must be obtained from our customer service team before shipping any item back. Returns sent without an RMA will not be accepted at our facility and may be returned to sender at your expense or disposed of.

  4. Proof of Purchase: A valid order number from NEUNAIL LLC is required.

III. Step-by-Step Return Process

To ensure a smooth and successful return, please follow these steps meticulously:

Step 1: Initiate Your Return Request (Within 30 Days of Delivery)

  • Preferred Method: Log into your account on neunail.shop, navigate to “My Orders,” select the relevant order, and click “Request Return/Refund.” Fill out the digital form.

  • Alternative Method: If you checked out as a guest, use our Contact Form or email neunailart@gmail.com with your order number and details of the item(s) you wish to return and the reason.

You will need to provide:

  • Your full name and order number (#NEU-XXXXXX).

  • The specific product(s) for return and the quantity.

  • A clear reason for the return (e.g., defective, incorrect item, changed mind).

  • Your preferred resolution: Refund or Exchange (if available).

Step 2: Receive Your RMA & Instructions

  • Our customer service team will review your request within 1-2 business days.

  • If approved, we will email you a unique RMA number and detailed, personalized return instructions. This email will include:

    • The authorized return address (which may differ from our corporate office).

    • Any specific packaging requirements.

    • A deadline by which the return must be postmarked.

  • Do not ship returns to our corporate headquarters address (1500 N Grant St). Using the unauthorized address will cause significant delays and may result in non-processing.

Step 3: Package and Ship Your Return

  • Securely package the item(s) in their original packaging, if possible, or in a sturdy box with sufficient padding.

  • Include a copy of the RMA authorization email or a note clearly stating the RMA number inside the package. We strongly recommend placing it inside the box, not just on the outside.

  • Use a traceable and insured shipping service (e.g., USPS Priority Mail, UPS, FedEx). We cannot be responsible for returns lost or damaged in transit.

  • You are responsible for the cost of return shipping, unless the return is due to our error (wrong item shipped, defective). In cases of our error, we will provide a prepaid return label or reimburse your reasonable shipping costs upon validation.

  • Retain your proof of postage/shipping receipt until the process is complete.

Step 4: Inspection, Processing & Resolution

  • Once your return is received at our facility, our quality control team will inspect it to verify the condition matches the reason provided and our policy requirements.

  • Inspection Timeline: This process typically takes 3-5 business days from receipt.

  • Outcomes:

    • Approved: We will proceed with your chosen resolution (refund or exchange) and notify you via email.

    • Condition Issue: If the item does not meet our “unused and resalable” condition (e.g., used, damaged, missing parts), we reserve the right to:

      • Issue a partial refund reflecting the loss in value.

      • Return the item to you at your expense.

      • Reject the return entirely and dispose of the item.

    • You will be notified of any condition-related issues.

IV. Refund Details: Methods, Timing, & Deductions

Refund Method

  • All refunds will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase. We cannot issue refunds to an alternate card, bank account, or method.

  • If the original payment method is no longer valid (e.g., a canceled credit card), you must work with your card issuer/bank to retrieve the funds, as they will have the record of the credit.

Refund Timing

  • Once a return is approved, please allow:

    • 5-10 business days for the refund to be processed on our end and for the credit to appear in your bank or card account.

    • The exact time it takes for the funds to be posted depends entirely on the policies and processing speed of your financial institution. We initiate the refund immediately upon approval; the rest is outside our control.

What is Refunded?

  • For returns due to customer preference (change of mind): We will refund the product purchase price.

  • Original shipping charges are non-refundable for returns not due to our error.

  • Return shipping costs paid by the customer are not refundable, unless the return was necessitated by our mistake.

What is NOT Refundable?

  • Expedited or special shipping upgrade fees (unless the error was ours).

  • Any customs duties, taxes, or brokerage fees paid by international customers on the original import. You may be able to apply for a refund of these from your local customs authority.

  • Gift wrapping charges.

  • Products that do not meet the return condition criteria.

V. Exchange Policy

We generally encourage refunds and a new purchase for the desired item, as this is often faster. However, exchanges for a different product or variant (e.g., different color, size) may be possible subject to stock availability.

  • To request an exchange, state this preference when initiating your return.

  • If the exchange item is of equal or lesser value, we will process it once the return is approved.

  • If the exchange item is of higher value, you will be invoiced for the price difference plus any applicable shipping before the new item is dispatched.

  • If the desired exchange item is out of stock, we will default to issuing a refund.

VI. Special Circumstances & Exceptions

Defective or Damaged Upon Arrival Items

  • If you receive an item that is defective or damaged, contact us within 48 hours of delivery. Please provide your order number and clear photos/videos showing the defect or damage.

  • We will typically expedite a replacement shipment immediately (subject to stock) and provide a prepaid return label for the defective unit, or we may instruct you on an alternative disposal method if return is not necessary.

Incorrect Items Received

  • If you receive an item you did not order, please contact us immediately. We will arrange for the correct item to be shipped and provide a prepaid return label for the incorrect item.

Non-Returnable Items

For health, safety, and sanitary reasons, the following items are FINAL SALE and cannot be returned or refunded unless they arrive defective or incorrect:

  • Opened or Used Consumables: This includes any gel polish, liquid monomer, acrylic powder, or other product where the seal has been broken or the product has been dispensed.

  • Single-Use/Disposable Items: Such as abrasive pedicure caps, files, buffers, toe separators, etc., once the packaging is opened.

  • Personal Care Items: Where hygiene prevents resale.

  • Custom-Ordered or Special-Order Products.

International Returns

  • International customers are responsible for all return shipping costs, customs duties, and taxes associated with sending the item back to the US.

  • We recommend declaring the package as a “Returned Goods” with the value marked as $0 or the original value for insurance, and including all RMA documentation to avoid customs delays.

  • Refunds for international orders will be issued for the product price in USD. Any currency conversion differences or foreign transaction fees are not reimbursable.

VII. Warranty Information

Beyond our 30-day return window, many of our tools from brands like Staleks, Nippon Nippers, and others come with a manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, typically ranging from 6 months to a lifetime, depending on the brand and product.

  • Warranty claims must be directed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, which often involve contacting us first.

  • Warranty does not cover damage from misuse, accidental damage, improper care, or normal wear and tear.

  • Proof of purchase from an authorized retailer (NEUNAIL LLC) is required for all warranty service.

VIII. Important Disclaimers & Limitations

  • Restocking Fee: We do not charge a general restocking fee. However, as noted, we may deduct from a refund if an item is returned in less than resalable condition.

  • Discretion: NEUNAIL LLC reserves the right to refuse any return that does not comply with this policy or appears to be in bad faith.

  • Policy Changes: We may update this Refund and Return Policy periodically. The policy in effect at the time of your purchase will govern that transaction.

  • Legal Rights: This policy is offered in addition to, and does not affect, your statutory legal rights as a consumer, which may vary by state or country.
