• Products damaged by misuse, abuse, improper care or negligence, or accidents (including pet damage)

• Products lost or damaged due to fire, flood, or natural disaster

• Products with a missing label or label that has been defaced

• Products returned for personal reasons unrelated to product performance or satisfaction

• Products that have been soiled or contaminated, until they have been properly cleaned

• Returns on ammunition, either in our stores or through the mail

• On rare occasions, past habitual abuse of our Return Policy

• Products purchased from third party sellers (Items purchased at one of our retail partners must be returned to them and are subject to their return policies)

Returns by mail can take up to 2-3 weeks to process.  

In most cases, we will refund the original payment method. Gift recipients will receive a Return Gift Card.
