Customer Returns 

Discount Stones will not accept a customer return unless it is authorized in accordance with our policy. All returns are subject to a restocking charge based on the original sales price. Buyer must arrange to inspect the products on delivery. Buyer must check the contents for signs of damage. If buyer notices any damage, the courier company must be informed immediately. In such an event, the buyer must not sign for the products unless the damage is acknowledged and recorded. When the buyer signs off on delivery, the buyer has effectively accepted the delivery, thus the seller cannot subsequently claim compensation from the courier company on the buyer's behalf.

30 Day Money Back Guarantee

In order to qualify for the 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, buyer must ensure the product is in its original packaging, in the same condition as it was when it arrived at the destination address, not have been used, installed, or marked in any way. In order for buyer to receive a full payment refund, the order must be returned in it’s entirely. This means every piece the buyer received on the date of delivery must be returned in its original packaging. Once buyer has everything accounted for and packaged, Discount Stones will arrange pick-up of the product. Buyer will be assessed a fifteen (15%) restocking and re-handling charge and 100% shipment charge on all returns. The shipping charges will include all fees applicable to ship back to our manufacturing facilities in Mainland China.
