If you decide to return a product and originally received free shipping, you will be responsible for the shipping cost associated with initial delivery.

Here are the steps you will want to take:

1. Contact VAPO via the Contact page. Please get approval from the agent to send the item back before sending the item. We will send you a return ticket. We may email you after you submit the Return in any attempts of troubleshooting.
2. Repackage the item including all original parts, packing materials, instructions, etc. Within reason this means that everything must be returned exactly as it was sent to you. If you do not have the original packaging we will NOT accept this as a return. Poor repackaging or the return of damaged merchandise could result in refusal of your return and loss of any refund or replacement item. DO NOT send items back in regular envelope, this is not sufficient packaging and can cause items to be lost in the mail as the envelopes are not tracked. Padded parcel bags are a must.
3. Include a copy of the original receipt in the package.
4. If you are to receive a refund, it will be issued by VAPO when the returned item has been received in satisfactory condition. Refunds will be processed within 10 business days of receiving the items. And will be applied directly to the method that was used to make a purchase.
5. Usually refunds can take up to 5 business days to completely process after the refund has been initiated. Refunds are only issued to the original form of payment on the corresponding order. If you have any questions on our return/refund process, feel free to use the Contact Page.

VAPO will honour price adjustment within 14 days from the date of purchase with proof of purchase. Holiday specials, promotional sales, and clearance sales may be exempt. Price adjustment will be issued via store credit.

Please note VAPO may elect to return the product to the manufacturer's repair agent to determine the nature of the problem.

If you cannot present your VAPO receipt or other acceptable proof of purchase VAPO reserves the right not to offer a refund or exchange.
