Returns & Refunds
Made Understandable
Sometimes a purchase doesn't turn out quite as expected, and that's okay. This policy explains how to request a return, what information to prepare, how return shipping and original shipping charges are handled, and what happens after an eligible item reaches our return facility. Our goal is to make the next steps clear and straightforward.
A Clear Path to Resolution
Whether you've changed your mind about a mineral collecting accessory or received an item with a problem, please contact our team before sending anything back. We'll review the circumstances and provide the appropriate instructions for your request.

When Can You Request a Return?
Eligible products may generally be returned within 30 calendar days after confirmed delivery.
If you believe an item qualifies for a return, we recommend contacting customer support within this period so your request can be reviewed and the next steps explained.
Conditions for a Standard Return
To qualify for a standard return, an item should generally meet the following conditions:
- The product is unused and remains in its original condition.
- Original parts, components and accessories are included.
- Original packaging is included where reasonably possible.
- Valid proof of purchase or relevant order information is available.
Please keep the product and its components together while your request is being reviewed. If you are unsure whether an item meets the standard return requirements, contact us before shipping it back.
How to Arrange a Return
Before returning any product, email our customer support team at service@oravunel.com.
To help us review your request, please include the following details:
- Your order number.
- The product you would like to return.
- The reason for the return.
- Photographs or videos, where relevant to the issue.
Once we have the relevant information, our team can review the circumstances and explain the appropriate next steps.
Where Should You Send the Item?
Please do not automatically send returned merchandise to our registered business address.
After your return request has been reviewed and approved, customer support will provide the appropriate return warehouse address and instructions for sending the item back.
Return shipments should follow the instructions provided for the approved request so that the package can be directed to the correct destination.
Who Pays for Return Shipping?
Return shipping responsibility depends on why the item is being returned. Return shipping costs are the charges for sending the item back to the designated return location. They are separate from the original standard shipping charge paid when placing the order.
♡ Change of Mind or Personal Preference
If an eligible product is being returned because of a change of mind, personal preference or another reason unrelated to a product or fulfillment problem, the customer is generally responsible for the return shipping costs. The original standard shipping charge paid for the initial delivery is not refunded for a preference-based return.
✧ Damaged, Defective or Incorrect Items
If an item is damaged, defective, incorrect, incomplete or materially different from its description because of a product or fulfillment issue, we will provide an appropriate replacement, refund or return solution without requiring the customer to bear additional costs resulting from that error. Where the resolution involves a full refund for the entire order, the original standard shipping charge will also be refunded. For a partial refund, the original standard shipping charge will be refunded proportionally to the value of the affected items being refunded.
Inspection of Returned Items
After a returned item has been received, it may be inspected to verify that the applicable return requirements have been satisfied.
This review helps us assess the condition of the returned merchandise and determine the appropriate handling of an eligible refund or other approved resolution.
How Refunds and Original Shipping Charges Are Handled
Once an approved returned item has been received and inspected, an eligible refund will be issued to the original payment method. Our refund processing generally takes 5–10 business days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
The treatment of the original standard shipping charge depends on the reason for the return and whether the refund covers the entire order or only part of it.
| Return or Refund Situation | Original Standard Shipping Charge |
|---|---|
| Personal preference or change of mind | The original standard shipping charge is not refunded. The customer is generally responsible for return shipping costs. |
| Merchant-responsible issue — full order refund | The original standard shipping charge is refunded along with the eligible refund for the entire order. |
| Merchant-responsible issue — partial refund | The original standard shipping charge is refunded proportionally to the value of the affected items being refunded. |
For a partial refund resulting from a product or fulfillment issue, the proportional shipping refund is calculated by comparing the value of the affected items being refunded with the value of the merchandise in the original order, excluding shipping charges and taxes from that comparison.
For example, if the affected items account for 25% of the original merchandise value, 25% of the original standard shipping charge will generally be refunded. If the entire order is refunded because of a product or fulfillment issue, the full original standard shipping charge will be refunded.
Your bank or payment provider may require additional time before the refunded amount appears in your account. The time needed for funds to become visible may therefore differ from our own processing period.
Damaged, Defective, Incorrect or Incomplete Orders
If your order arrives damaged, defective, incorrect, incomplete or materially different from the product description, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible.
Include your order number and supporting photographs or videos where appropriate. Clear images of the item and the issue can help our team understand what happened.
After reviewing the circumstances, we will provide a reasonable solution based on the issue. Depending on the situation, this may include a replacement, refund or return arrangement.
Where the problem results from the product or our fulfillment process, the resolution will account for additional costs resulting from that error so the customer is not required to bear those costs. Where a refund is issued, the original standard shipping charge will be handled in accordance with Section 7 above.
Order Cancellation Requests
If you need to cancel an order, please contact service@oravunel.com promptly.
We will make a reasonable effort to process cancellation requests received before fulfillment begins. However, cancellation cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or shipment has started.
No cancellation fee is charged for an order that is successfully canceled before fulfillment.
