Exchanges are not available. We ensure that all product information is fully detailed and accessible for customers to review before placing an order and confirming payment. Please make sure to carefully select the correct size, color, and other specifications before finalizing your purchase.

4.4 Non-Refundable Items

5. Defective, Damaged, or Incorrect Items

5.1 Reporting Issues
If an item arrives defective, damaged, or incorrect, buyers must notify CA International within 7 days of receipt. The notification should include the order number, a description of the issue, and photos of the item. All our products leave the warehouse with the packaging in perfect condition. If any damage is detected upon delivery, it is essential to clearly state this on the dispatch note of the courier company, indicating, for example, 'PACKAGE VISIBLY DAMAGED.'

5.2 Resolution Options
CA International will offer a replacement, repair, or refund based on the nature of the issue and the buyer’s preference. In cases where a replacement is not available, a full refund will be issued.

5.3 Return of Defective or Incorrect Items
For defective or incorrect items, CA International will provide a prepaid return shipping label. The item must be returned within 15 days after the return label is issued.

It is recommended to use order confirmations to emphasize the importance of inspecting packages upon delivery and documenting any visible damage. This practice helps ensure that any issues are promptly and clearly noted, as CA International advises.
