Shipping Errors - Refusal of Delivery, Non-Deliverable, or Incorrect Shipping Address

If a package is undeliverable due to no person available to accept and sign for delivery (when applicable), incorrect or inappropriate shipping address, or shipments refused upon delivery, the customer will be responsible for any and all actual shipping and/or re-shipping charges incurred. These charges may be higher than the original shipping charge, as MindWorks Resources offers reduced and free shipping on the initial shipment of many of our items.

MindWorks Resources may temporarily cover such shipping charges as a service to our customers. However, once the package is received back in our warehouse, MindWorks Resources will then issue a credit back to the original payment method for the purchase price less the ACTUAL shipping charges and surcharges to and from your location and applicable cancellation/restocking fees. Or, MindWorks Resources may agree to re-ship the items at the customer's expense, all charges payable before re-shipping. Any actual shipping charges and/or surcharges will apply even if full shipping charges were not initially charged as part of our discounted shipping prices or other promotions.

This policy does not pertain to products that may have been damaged in shipping prior to delivery. The customer shall inspect all deliveries promptly and avoid acceptance of visibly damaged deliveries whenever possible. All refunds are subject to MindWorks Resources return policies.
