Refund and Returns Policy
Overview
Due to the nature of Pokémon trading card products, all Pokémon single cards and sealed Pokémon products sold through are considered final sale, except in the limited case where the wrong product was shipped.
In Canada, businesses are generally not required to accept returns unless items are defective, and New Brunswick also notes that sellers are not required to offer refunds, returns, or exchanges when a customer simply changes their mind. [ised-isde.canada.ca], [fcnb.ca]
