Refund Policy
Refund Policy [Before Shipping]:
Some customers place orders online and then, for various reasons, cancel their order the same day or at a later date before we actually ship the product. When a customer does this, SHOPIFY, the Canadian based operator of this platform DOES NOT reimburse AerationSupply.com for the credit card fee we are charged by them for the transaction. It is for this reason, when we issue a refund or cancel an order, all purchases that are made online, and then canceled, regardless of the time duration from the purchase, will be refunded the original amount less a 3.5% credit card fee that we will be charged from SHOPIFY for the transaction.
The following statement is directly from SHOPIFY.
"Credit card transaction fees are not returned to you when a refund is issued in Austria, Sweden, or the United States."
