Return Policy

 No one wants returns. You don't want the hassle of shipping an item back and we don't want returns because they cost us a lot of time and money. Because of this, we offer buyers the chance to call or email us and ask questions about a product and to become extremely educated on an item before they make the purchase. Our goal is to eliminate returns by offering great customer service before and after the sale. We want you to be happy with every purchase and less returns means happy customers, less hassle and extra costs for us and better pricing for our customers.

On the other hand, we know there are times when returns are unavoidable. Maybe an item was defective, or it really just wasn't what you expected. In those cases, we are glad to help with your return. Sadly, there are a few people out there who like to buy products, especially night vision and thermal optics, use them for a few days and then return them. Those people ruin it for everyone. We've tried to craft a return policy that is fair to the honest buyers but helps keeps the shady buyers at bay.

If you have any questions about an item or our return/refund policy, feel free to call us, we are glad to help. 405-283-0037
