Packages are generally returned to our facility due to no one of age being present to sign for the delivery or no one being present at all that the time of delivery. Shipping carriers will attempt to deliver a package 3 times with a proper signer present. Upon the 3rd delivery attempt if no one is available, the shipping carrier will return the shipment to our facility. The package return process can take up to 6 weeks to fully process back into our warehouse inventory.

Any packages that are returned and processed will carry a $25 re-ship fee to be shipped back to you. No packages will be reshipped until that process is completed and a new shipping process is activated. If you are interested in having your package re-shipped to you, please reach out to our customer service team to request a re-ship.

Any package returned to us without a request from the customer to reship it will automatically be restocked back into our warehouse inventory. Unless the package being returned is a direct result of a SommSelect error, no refund will be given. If you contact customer service after the restocking process has been completed, there is a possibility of securing a credit on file minus a $25 restocking fee.

If a package or product is damaged please follow the instructions in our “What do I do if my package was delivered damaged?” FAQ article and contact the customer service team. Credits on file and or refunds for damaged package or products are handled on a case-by-case basis.

It is the responsibility of the customer/purchaser to ensure the shipping address provided during the checkout process is accurate and up to date.  We understand mistakes happen, in the event a purchase is associated with a past or inaccurate address and we are able to reship to your proper address a $25 address change fee will apply. If a package requires reshipment across state lines a $25 restocking fee will apply as the package will be returned to our facility and the process would need to start over; a re-ship fee of $25 will ALSO apply to packages that require rerouting or re-shipping across state lines.
