⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT RETURNS & REFUNDS

knee-pain-patch-reviews.pages.dev is an affiliate marketing website. We do not sell products directly and do not handle returns or refunds. All purchases made through links on our site are transactions with third-party merchants. This policy explains how to handle returns and refunds with those merchants.

Overview of Our Role

knee-pain-patch-reviews.pages.dev provides product recommendations and reviews. When you click on a product link on our website, you are redirected to a third-party merchant's website (such as Amazon, Walmart, or specialized natural product retailers). Your purchase is made directly with that merchant.

🔗 Our Affiliate Relationship

We earn a commission when you make a purchase through our links, at no additional cost to you. However, we are not a party to the sales transaction. Return and refund processes are handled entirely by the merchant from whom you purchased the product.

General Return & Refund Process

While return policies vary by merchant, most follow a similar general process:

Step 1: Contact the Merchant

If you need to return a product or request a refund, you must contact the merchant directly. You can typically find their contact information:

  • On the merchant's website under "Customer Service," "Help," or "Contact Us"
  • In the order confirmation email you received after purchase
  • On the packing slip included with your shipment

Step 2: Review the Merchant's Return Policy

Each merchant has its own return policy, which typically includes:

  • Return Window: The number of days you have to return a product (commonly 30, 60, or 90 days)
  • Condition Requirements: Whether the product must be unopened, unused, or in original packaging
  • Restocking Fees: Some merchants charge a fee for processing returns
  • Return Shipping: Who pays for return shipping (merchant or customer)

Step 3: Follow the Merchant's Instructions

Merchants will provide specific instructions for returns, which may include:

  • Obtaining a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number
  • Printing a prepaid return label (if offered)
  • Packaging the item securely with all original accessories
  • Including the RMA number on the outside of the package

Step 4: Track Your Return and Refund

Once you've shipped the return, keep your tracking number. Refunds are typically processed within:

Refund Type Typical Processing Time Notes
Credit Card Refunds 3-10 business days After the merchant processes the refund, your bank may take additional time to post it
PayPal Refunds 1-3 business days Usually faster than credit card refunds
Gift Card/Store Credit Immediate to 24 hours Some merchants offer store credit instead of cash refunds

Common Return Scenarios

Defective or Damaged Products

If you receive a damaged or defective product:

  1. Document the Issue: Take clear photos of the damage or defect
  2. Contact the Merchant Immediately: Most merchants have a specific process for damaged items
  3. Follow Their Instructions: They may offer a replacement, refund, or partial credit

Incorrect Item Received

If you receive the wrong item:

  1. Do not open or use the product
  2. Contact the merchant's customer service with your order number
  3. They will typically provide a prepaid return label and send the correct item

Changed Your Mind

If you simply changed your mind about a purchase:

  1. Check if the merchant accepts returns for this reason (many do, but some don't)
  2. Ensure the product is in new, unused condition with original packaging
  3. You may be responsible for return shipping costs

⚠️ Special Considerations for Natural Products

Some natural wellness products have special return restrictions:

  • Opened Supplements: Many merchants will not accept returns of opened supplements for health and safety reasons
  • Personal Care Items: Items like essential oils or skincare products may have strict return policies
  • Perishable Items: Some natural foods or refrigerated items cannot be returned

Always check the specific merchant's policy for the product category before purchasing.
