Damaged specimen will be refunded when I get a photo directly the same day the specimen was delivered. Then we can discuss if the broken specimen needs to e returned to the sender and if still represents a value or if it is a complete loss. Lost parcels need an investigation process from the Post service, which can take up to 4 weeks, as soon the Post service confirms that a parcel is lost we will send full refund.
I accept returns when you are not satisfied. The return / the message that you are not satisfied needs to come in during one week. I also accept exchanges at a simila value under the condition that the invoice for the specimen to exchange was already paid.
