If the return is approved due to one of the reasons above, 21Thread will cover the return shipping costs.


Refunds

Approved refunds will be issued using the original payment method.

Shipping charges are non-refundable unless the return results from our mistake or a confirmed manufacturing defect.

Refund processing times depend on your payment provider and bank.
