I understand your concerns, and I'd like to provide some clarity regarding our return policy and the restocking fee. Our return policy is designed to ensure that products returned to us are in a resalable condition. The restocking fee is a standard practice in the industry and covers the costs associated with inspecting, repackaging, and restocking returned items. While I understand your disappointment with the fee, it helps us maintain the quality of our products and services. The restocking fee you encountered is 20%, which is in line with industry standards. Additionally, the charge for return shipping helps cover the logistical expenses associated with processing returns. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and I appreciate your feedback. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out, and we will do our best to address them. Thank you for your understanding.
