Payment Processing Service Fee
When you make a purchase with a credit card (in-person or online), the credit card processor charges us a percentage of the total as a processing fee.
Until a couple of years ago, they used to return that fee to the business when a refund was processed. They don’t anymore.. they keep it. :( We are no longer able to absorb these charges and have had to pass this fee to customers when an order is refunded on purchases made in-store or online with a credit card.
Thankfully we have a couple of ways around this (if you are shopping in the store):
- You can pay with debit or cash. If you end up returning your purchase, the service fee will not apply.
- You can choose a refund in the form of a gift card, the service fee will not apply.
All online refunds are subject to the 3.5% credit card processing fee.
Of course we are certain that you will be 100% happy with your purchase and we will always do everything in our power to make it so. Please message us if you have any questions!
Affirm Financing and PayPal have even higher fees
(that’s why there is a 5% Processing Fee on refunds via those methods)
