Who Pays for Shipping on Returns?Updated 17 days ago

Quick Answer

Return shipping depends on the reason for your return and where you are located.

If your item is incorrect or arrives damaged/faulty, TFC covers return shipping where applicable. For change-of-mind returns, return shipping is pre-paid by TFC for your first eligible physical order only. For other approved change-of-mind returns, return shipping is usually paid by the customer unless required by law.

International return shipping is not pre-paid. International customers must pay return shipping and provide tracking details.
