Refund policy
Returns
-
You can apply for a return within 14 days of delivery. Beyond this period, no return requests will be accepted.
-
Goods that meet the return criteria must be in an unused state, in the same original condition as when received, and must include the original packaging.
-
When returning goods, you must provide a receipt or proof of purchase. The customer is responsible for shipping and PayPal transaction fees.
Regarding Fully Assembled Keyboards:
-
We do not accept returns on the grounds of "The keyboard feels bad" or general dissatisfaction. As an assembled keyboard cannot be resold as new, requests to return a Fully Assembled Keyboard or a DIY Keyboard that has already been assembled will be denied.
-
However, KBDfans offers a free repair service if you are willing to cover the round-trip shipping costs.
