- Any return must occur within 30 days of our granting such permission (hereinafter referred to as “Return Period”).
- All return shipments must contain a copy of the original receipt, a note describing the permission of return granted by TeaSource and also indicate the cause and nature of any product defect.
- All returns to TeaSource must be shipped via USPS or UPS and accompanied with copies of the original invoice.
If TeaSource does not receive all of the above information within the Return Period, TeaSource shall return all products to you, at your sole expense. Final disposition of any return credit shall be based solely on TeaSource’s evaluation of the product.
However, under no circumstances can we refund money or accept a return on bulk tea purchases unless the heat-sealed closure is still intact. We cannot accept returns on bulk tea simply because you do not like the flavor. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you read the description carefully and purchase the minimum amount (2 ounces) of a new tea before purchasing a large quantity.
