Ship goods ONLY to the return address provided to you with your Return Authorization.
Goods Packaging
Re-pack items for return in the original box and packaging material. Please mark your label with the Return Authorization number on it. NEVER write on the box. Improper labeling may result in denial of return.

Next ship the product to the address you were provided to with Return Authorization. Use a carrier that can provide you with a tracking number and a signature that the item was received. You must insure the item as well. If we are unable to confirm delivery of your item, it may result in the denial of your refund.
Tracking Number
We require that returns are shipped via a carrier that provides a tracking number. If an item is shipped without one and is lost the customer will be liable and no refund will be issued. Please email your tracking number to us at dinettesbydesign@aol.com
